Tories 2013: Latest updates
Day three of the Conservative party conference in Manchester.
Day three of the Conservative party conference in Manchester.
David Cameron said what matters "is not what politicians are wearing, but the ideas in the head and the actions that they are taking."
Asked whether it was "insensitive" that Theresa May had worn sparkly shoes and a Vivienne Westwood suit said to be worth £1,200 for her party conference speech, Mr Cameron said she gave "a great speech yesterday."
The Prime Minister continued: "This is a Home Secretary who has cut immigration, who has cut crime, who got Abu Qatada out of our country and back to Jordan.
"I think that's what matters most of all, not whether someone chooses to spend their money on shoes or a suit or what have you."
Weather throws a wobbly as it's seriously disappointing for summer.
The Bank of England governor has suggested there may soon be a cut in interest rates.
The motorist at the wheel of a self-driving car has died after it crashed with a trailer, the first Autopilot death reported in the US.

Mac App Store: Just the apps you need in your iLife
If you love editing your pictures and making movies using iPhoto and iMovie within Apple's iLife productivity suite, but have no use for GarageBand because you're about as musically talented as James Blunt, then a solution could be coming your way.
The iLife 11 package, which was announced at Apple's Back to the Mac event, could be getting chopped up into its individual portions and be offered up as part of the new Mac App Store.
So, instead of forking out £45 for the lot - you could grab the aspects you need individually.
There's no official word from Apple on this yet, but during the keynote Mac App Store demo, the icons for iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand can clearly be seen, all priced at $14.99.
The move makes perfect sense, and would give Apple users more choice with what applications hit their docks.
Of course, the iLife 11 package will be pre-loaded on any new Macs, but if you've already got one, it would be a nice option.
Well done to the eagle-eyes over at Electric Pig for spotting this.

MobileCasino.net Web App Now Available for iOS Devices
Las Vegas, NV, Nov 19, 2012 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- MobileCasino.net (
one of the companies that revolutionized online gaming, announced recently the release of its HTML5 web app available for use on iOS devices. The new app will allow All Slots Online fans to play their favorite casino games directly on their iPhones and iPads.
Android users have already been able to take advantage of All Slots' mobile interface, with 27 of All Slots' popular games provided in full HD. Through Android Air, games are automatically downloaded to the app once it has been installed on a phone. This prevents customers from having to individually download games, saving time and giving them instant access to new games.
Designed with HTML5, the iOS version of the All Slots Mobile Casino app is optimized to work with the iPhone and iPad. Eleven popular games from MobileCasino.net will be featured on the iOS interface with each one converted to a design that's more applicable to a touchscreen platform.
Along with games like Tomb Raider, MobileCasino.net offers traditional games like slots, Blackjack, and roulette. The mobile edition of All Slots Online's slot machines allows users to play slots directly on their phone's screen. Players have the chance to win money just as they would at a casino, with chances to win bonus tokens for extra play time. The game provides an interface that allow players to easily add funds to an account.
MobileCasino.net's Blackjack Mobile provides users the opportunity to play casino table games any time of day. In a regular casino, players would be limited to only the hours the Blackjack tables were open, but MobileCasino.net allows for 24/7 play. Different casinos are available for Blackjack play, and each mobile casino can set its own rules for play, so it's important to note the individual casino's rules before choosing a particular game.
Playing roulette on MobileCasino.net's iOS interface is a little trickier than Blackjack and slots, which both are conducive to the smaller screen. However, developers have created a look that accommodates the smaller display space while still honoring the integrity of the popular casino game.
MobileCasino.net is compatible with iOS 4 and 5, as well as the iPhone 4 and 4S. iPad 1, 2, and 3 will also support MobileCasino.net, although some screen resolution adjustment may be necessary. iOS users won't have to worry about which games are designed for iOS as opposed to those designed for Android. After sign-up, the All Slots MobileCasino.net will automatically display only the games that are available for the user's device.
The app is free to download. Users only need to add credits as they play. For more information or to download the app for iOS or Android operating systems, visit

"Short Term 12" star to topline "Good Luck of Right Now" novel adaptation
February 3, 2014 - 18:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Brie Larson is in negotiations to star in the DreamWorks' adaptation of the Matthew Quick novel "The Good Luck of Right Now", Variety said.
Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris will direct from a script by Mike White. The book will be published on Feb. 11, 2014.
Quick's book follows the intertwined lives of four people, who are all outsiders in their own right. However, in grieving over pain and loss in their lives, they come together to form an unlikely family.
Bruce Cohen is producing.
After a star-making role in "21 Jump Street," Larson landed roles in "The Spectacular Now" and "Short Term 12," which granted her plenty of critical claim. Following those roles, Larson has now begun landing more female leads in studio pictures rather than supporting roles.
Along with "The Good Luck of Right Now," Larson also landed the female lead in "The Gambler" opposite Mark Wahlberg and was also up for the role of Sarah Connor in "Terminator: Genesis."
Top stories
The film will add to awareness as it looks at eyewitness testimonies recorded in the 1980s to help understand the severity of the tragedy.

She joins an impressive group of fashion moguls on the list that includes Spanx founder Sara Blakely and bridal tycoon Vera Wang.

WATERLOO, ON--(Marketwired - March 28, 2014) - Critical research into health care operations, medical imaging systems, micro-nano devices for cancer detection and smart energy distribution received a boost with four University of Waterloo engineering professors receiving new and renewed appointments as Canada Research Chairs today.
The appointments add more than $2 million in funding to the University.
"This research will ultimately improve quality-of-life for millions of Canadians through the early detection of disease, less invasive treatment, more efficient health care operations and sustainable energy delivery," said Feridun Hamdullahpur, president and vice-chancellor of Waterloo. "We have built uncompromising standards of excellence in research at this university and these appointments underline our leadership in addressing global challenges."
As Canadians are challenged by long hospital wait times, Professor Hossein Abouee Mehrizi of the Department of Management Sciences will focus on developing systems to more efficiently admit higher acuity patients; developing, validating, and analyzing a dynamic prioritization mechanism as well as informed discharge planning guidelines for hospitals. Professor Mehrizi was named the new Canada Research Chair in Health-Care Operations Management.
Instrumental in the development of a new Biomedical Engineering degree at the University of Waterloo, Professor Alexander Wong in Department of Systems Design Engineering holds the new Canada Research Chair in Medical Imaging Systems. He will develop medical imaging systems that will improve the understanding and early diagnosis of cancer, making it easier to use minimally invasive therapies for treatment and improving recovery times and reducing discomfort for patients.
Professor John Yeow, as Canada Research Chair in Micro and Nanodevices, is developing miniature devices and highly selective sensors that will help create new medical instruments for diagnosing and treating disease, including a miniaturized catheter device for in vivo, or internal, body imaging. The device allows physicians to examine small and previously unseen human cavities, and assist in the early detection of cancer.
Yeow is also developing miniature radiation instruments and sensors for cancer treatment that will allow for a more focused, less invasive delivery of radiation treatment, as well as real-time measurement of the delivered dose during radiation therapy.
Professor Ehab El-Saadany of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering will renew his term as Canada Research Chair in Smart Energy Distribution Systems. He is examining how to integrate decentralized power generation sources into the central electricity system to develop both knowledge and cost-effective measures needed for electric utilities to increase their use of clean-power generating technologies.
"The appointment of four Canada Research Chairs in Engineering is an endorsement of our research excellence in this very competitive national program. The targeted research areas reflect our commitment to advancing technologies that will improve the human condition," said Pearl Sullivan, dean of engineering. "These are areas of critical importance to future societies and I applaud the professors for their hard work and significant accomplishments."
The Honourable Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology) announced the latest round of Canada Research Chair recipients at the University of Alberta. "Our government is committed to supporting top researchers across all disciplines through programs such as the Canada Research Chairs Program," he said. "More than 1,700 chairholders are pushing the frontiers of knowledge in universities and colleges throughout Canada, driving jobs, growth and economic prosperity for Canadians."
The Canada Research Chairs program was established by the Government of Canada in 2000 to build Canada's research and development capacity. The program invests approximately $265 million per year to attract and retain some of the world's most accomplished and promising minds.

CHESTER, England, November 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of Brits will use savings, up 15 per cent from 2011
- 38 per cent will cover the cost with disposable income
- One in ten will use credit or store cards to pay for Christmas this year
The Christmas countdown is on and with less than eight weeks to go, Britain's number one comparison site MoneySupermarket.com reveals over a third of Christmas spenders plan to dip into savings to meet the cost, while another third will use the cash they have available to fund the festivities.
With a maximum of two more pay days until Christmas, a recent MoneySupermarket poll* of almost 3,000 site users reveals only 38 per cent will fund Christmas using disposable income while a further 23 per cent will use their savings; up by 15 per cent from 2011**. A quarter (24 per cent) will use an existing savings account to fund their festivities, while one in ten (10 per cent) will use a savings scheme in which they've saved up throughout the year to fund Christmas.
Plastic is also on the list as a way to pay for Christmas, with one in ten people (10 per cent) putting festive spending on a credit or store card, and a small number (3 per cent) who expect to use their overdraft to meet costs over the festive period. However, this is a slight fall from this time last year.
Kevin Mountford, head of banking at MoneySupermarket commented: "With December creeping around the corner, many people may be dreading meeting the cost of Christmas presents and all the trimmings. We've experienced a costly year including price hikes on SVR's for many mortgage borrowers combined with the recent energy price rises. It comes as no surprise that a quarter of those polled plan to break into their personal savings pot to get through the Christmas season. Yule tide can be an expensive time and it's easy to get swept up in the festivities and spirit of spending. There's still plenty of time ahead to make a budget and stick to it, to avoid spending more than planned.
"For those who haven't done so already, it's not too late to start saving for Christmas this year- just setting aside twenty pounds each week over the next few weeks could save you from skating on thin financial ice and help prevent sole reliance on your December salary to pay for everything. Savers should check the rate on savings accounts and look to switch to the most competitive deal in order to fuel savings returns. Chelsea Building Society currently offers the market leading savings account, its e-Saver Reward pays 2.60 per cent.
"Those using plastic to cover the cost of Christmas could look at using a cashback credit card to earn money on spending- the cashback gained from spending throughout the year could be put towards next Christmas' funds and is a much better alternative to high interest rate store cards as they offer a more competitive interest rate and still reward for spending. The American Express Platinum Cashback Card for example offers 5% cashback on your first £2,500 spend within the first three months. You will then earn 1.25% cashback on all other spend. Alternatively, a zero per cent interest on purchases card such as the Tesco Clubcard Credit Card offering 16 months interest free on purchases could be another way to manage your costs, providing you spend within your means and pay off the balance as soon as possible.
"Responsible budgeting and spending really is a must this Christmas, to avoid a costly financial hangover that runs into January. The last thing anyone wants is to be paying off the cost of Christmas past next year. By planning ahead, reviewing your finances and shopping around using a comparison site such as MoneySupermarket.com, you can ensure you find the best product to suit your needs."

'It's a symbol of their impending marriage': Angelina Jolie's gold band is Brad Pitt's great-grandmother's wedding ring
She sparked rumours that she and Brad Pitt had married in secret when she was spotted wearing a gold band returning from her charity trip to Rwanda.
But after denying the reports, the meaning behind Angelina's simple accessory has now been revealed.
According to Grazia magazine, the band was once the wedding ring of Brad's great-grandmother, and was given to Angelina as a 'symbol of their impending marriage'.
'It's a symbol of their impending marriage': Angelina Jolie swapped her usual engagement ring for a simple gold band during her recent trip to Rwanda
Simple: The band was Brad Pitt's great-grandmother's wedding ring
Brad gave Angelina, 37, the ring after she decided she didn't want to wear her $250,000 diamond engagement ring during the trip to Rwanda - where she was acting as an UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador.
A source told Grazia: 'Angelina said that she didn't want to wear her engagement ring because she thought it was important not to be ostentatious with clothes and jewellery when in a poor region.
'Brad said he completely understood why she couldn't wear her engagement ring, but he really wanted to give Angelina something special and more understated to wear instead.
'Angelina seemed truly touched by the
special gift of his great-grandmother's wedding ring, and it meant a
lot to be able to take it on the trip with her.'
While the pair have kept quiet about their plans to wed, they recently picked up their wedding license - meaning they can marry legally within the next 90 days.
Set to wed: Angelina and Brad now have their marriage license, meaning they can legally wed in Los Angeles in the next 90 days
Swap: Angelina swapped her large engagement ring (right) for the simple band during the charity trip
Beaming: The actress was beaming as she emerged from LAX on Wednesday
According to reports, the pair are planning to wed in Los Angeles before heading to their £35million Chateau Miraval in Brignoles, France, in May for a blessing with friends and family.
Read the full story in Grazia - Out now
Speaking previously about his intention to wed Angelina, Brad said last November: 'The time is nigh. It's soon. I got a good feeling about it.'
Meanwhile, it has been reported that Angelina has opened another girls school in Afghanistan and plans to fund more from the proceeds of a jewelry line going on sale this week that she helped to design.
E! News reported that Angelina funded the girls-only primary school, which educates 200-300 girls, in an area outside Kabul that has a high refugee population.
Angelina also funded a girl school in eastern Afghanistan that opened in 2010, according to the UNCHR.
Jolie's representatives did not return calls for comment.
E! said that Jolie plans to pay for
more schools by selling a 'Style of Jolie' jewelry line that she helped
create with jewelry maker Robert Procop.
Procop designed the engagement ring given to the actress by Brad in April 2012.
'Beyond enjoying the artistic satisfaction of designing these jewels, we are inspired by knowing our work is also serving the mutual goal of providing for children in need,' Angelina was quoted as telling the website.

Researchers at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials have now produced antimicrobial abrasion-resistant coatings with both silver and copper colloids with a long-term effect that kill germs reliably and at the same time prevent germs becoming established.
Hygienic conditions and sterile procedures are particularly important in hospitals, kitchens and sanitary facilities, air conditioning and ventilation systems, in food preparation and in the manufacture of packaging material. In these areas, bacteria and fungi compromise the health of both consumers and patients.
New anti-microbial coatings protect surfaces and textiles from biofilms.

Researchers at the INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials have now produced antimicrobial abrasion-resistant coatings with both silver and copper colloids with a long-term effect that kill germs reliably and at the same time prevent germs becoming established. The coatings are particularly suitable for the application on large and solid surfaces, on doorhandles and for textiles.
The INM from Saarbruecken will be one of the few German research institutions at the TechConnect World trade fair on 16 and 17 June in Washington DC, USA, where it will be presenting this and other results. Working in cooperation with the VDI Association of German Engineers, it will be showcasing its latest developments at Stand 301 in the German Area.
"The new development combines two properties which means the presence of germs and fungi on these surfaces is zero", explains Carsten Becker-Willinger, Head of the Nanomers Program Division. Silver or copper colloids which gradually release germicidal metal ions into the environment are incorporated in the coating. "The metal colloids are only a few nanometers in size, but their particular ratio of size to surface area produces a distinctive long-term effect.
The "consumption" of metals to metal ions is then so low that the coating can be effective for several years", says the chemist. The long-term effect will also be increased by the high abrasion resistance. At the same time, the surface of the coating is anti-adhesive, so neither dead nor fresh germs can adhere to the surface. As a result, the coating primarily counteracts the formation of an extensive biofilm.
The researchers were able to prove the double microbicidal and biofilm-inhibiting action using the standardised ASTM E2 180 test process. The new material can be applied to a variety of substrates such as plastic, ceramic or metal using conventional techniques such as spraying or dipping, and cures thermally or photochemically. Selective variation of the individual components allows the developers to react to the particular and different needs of potential users.
As part of the EU-sponsored CuVito project, the developers are now looking at increasingly using copper colloids and copper ions as well as silver which they hope will open up other fields of application.

INM conducts research and development to create new materials – for today, tomorrow and beyond. Chemists, physicists, biologists, materials scientists and engineers team up to focus on these essential questions: Which material properties are new, how can they be investigated and how can they be tailored for industrial applications in the future? Four research thrusts determine the current developments at INM: New materials for energy application, new concepts for medical surfaces, new surface materials for tribological applications and nano safety and nano bio. Research at INM is performed in three fields: Nanocomposite Technology, Interface Materials, and Bio Interfaces.
INM – Leibniz Institute for New Materials, situated in Saarbruecken, is an internationally leading centre for materials research. It is an institute of the Leibniz Association and has about 195 employees.

Postpartum Contraception
I used a progesterine only pill between my first and this pregnancy. This time I plan to get a IUD.
I used the Mirena IUD between having DS and ttc this LO, it was ok, but I did have issues with depression (which can bc affected by the Mirena), so I'm planning on trying the Paraguard IUD this time. Not that it helps though, bc both really aren't good options for just a year. The "mini" pill or progesterone only pill would probably be a good option for you if you think you can take it regularly.

I'm still undecided. Any hormonal birth control is out for me though, it gives me horrible migraines, even the Nuva ring, which was my favourite otherwise (no mood swings, easy to use beacuse you don't have to take a pill every day).

AMVDFA calls for indefinite general strike in Manipur
Imphal: The All Manipur Village Defence Force Association (AMVDFA) has called for an indefinite general strike in the state from Tuesday to demand increment in their salaries.
VDF personnel were appointed by the state authorities to protect the villages and were also helping the police in traffic management, official sources said.
The appointment was done on contract basis and they have been told on various occasions that their pay could not be increased, sources said.
The association is demanding an increment in their pay which is Rs 3000 per month at present, a statement by AMVDFA said.
The general strike would be enforced in all districts of the state, it said.
It appealed to various organisations, including students organisations, to support their stir.
Sources said all possible steps would be taken to prevent any untoward incident during the strike.

I have made a program where I've used this:
PrintStream output = new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(createFile.getText()));
So the file name will be whatever my
JTextField createFile contains. However, I want to be able to delete this file by typing its name in
JTextField deleteFile.
For example, let's say that I have written "hey" in my
createFile and pressed the "OK" button, thus the file is created. Now I want to be able to write exactly the same, namely "hey" in my
deleteFile field, so that this previously created file shall be deleted.
How can I accomplish this?

The popular ninja-styled beat 'em up, Ninja Gaiden, will be available for purchase in the Virtual Console section of the North American 3DS eShop this Thursday, December, 6th. At the cost of $4.99, you can relive this classic, challenging hit from within the palms of your hands.
Ninja Gaiden was originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in March of 1989. The game was also released for the Wii Virtual Console on December 21st, 2009, and in the Japanese 3DS Virtual Console eShop on August 29th, 2012.

Awesome, I'm definitely downloading it. I swear, I'll beat that game some day.
Love Ninja Gaiden. I would love to see Ducktales for NES on the eShop.
Oh well this is cool. I mean I am not really interested in this title but the more VC titles the merrier.
Love the newer Ninja Gaiden games. Can't say I've played this one, but I might have to check it out. The difficulty is what makes me love them. Same reason I love me some Contra!
I think it's great that this game is coming to North America. If I hadn't already bought it in the Japanese eShop, I might have purchased this one. Like Chris, I'd love to be able to finish this game one day.

inetwork, a division of Bandwidth and the leading choice for innovative and scalable voice, 9-1-1 and SMS solutions, today announced the results of a new survey it commissioned from research firm ATLANTIC-ACM to better understand the disruptive factors and trends U.S. wholesale voice buyers think will most impact their businesses.
End of the (Land) Line
Specifically, the survey revealed the dramatic changes in how service providers will offer – and end-users will consume – telephony services. Key findings tied to disruption in the communication services market include:
- 74 percent of respondents noted that the death of the office landline – the desk phone – will be the single most disruptive force in voice services, anticipating the continued penetration of mobile devices by business users.
- 72 percent of respondents placed the migration to 100 percent VoIP over long-term evolution (LTE) as a close second in market disruption, representing the continued blurring of the lines between wireless carriers and VoIP service providers.
- 70 percent of respondents noted the death of "Plain Old Telephone Service" (POTS) as the third most disruptive factor, with providers of legacy phone services looking to gain efficiencies and offer end-users the enhanced features only available from IP-based platforms.
- Nearly half of respondents cited new competition as their biggest threat, beating out the more traditional threats of pricing pressure or market consolidation. New entrants approaching telecom from the Software as a Service (SaaS) perspective will more aggressively compete in what has historically been the domain of a relatively small number of traditional dial tone providers.
"While certain resellers will claim there is still money to be made in Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), the overall market continues to decline," said Dr. Judy Reed Smith, CEO of ATLANTIC-ACM. "End-user migration to wireless, VoIP and everything in between will drive shrinking demand for traditional wholesale voice services, leaving those providers unwilling to deviate from 'business-as-usual' in the dust."
APIs for Phone Services
The ATLANTIC-ACM survey also revealed the availability of application programming interfaces (APIs) increases respondents' interest to work with a given wholesale provider. In addition, the influence of APIs is particularly evident among those who plan to increase their spending in the coming year, indicating that more businesses are looking to integrate voice services directly into their end-user applications or services.
"A growing number of our wholesale voice buyers are going beyond selling dial-tone by using our APIs to embed voice and SMS services into their end-user offerings. They are breaking new ground by developing 'over-the-top app' for IP-enabled mobile devices, call analytics purposes, rich media, social networks, limited only by their imagination," said Steve Leonard, executive vice president and general manager of Bandwidth's inetwork division. "The survey results prove that the 'phone' as we know it, and the telecom industry in general, are pushing the boundaries into an entirely new phase – one that inetwork is uniquely positioned to support."

With only two nights and no car, I'd rule out Vis. Hvar and Brac have fairly good bus network, or you can just stay put in one place. If you mean this August start looking for accommodation yesterday. I'd avoid Bol and Hvar town and look for a place elsewhere due to crowds.
good luck!
