- you are allergic to any ingredient in levorphanol or similar medicines (eg, morphine)
- you are taking a monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor (eg, phenelzine), a narcotic agonist/antagonist medicine (eg, pentazocine), or sodium oxybate (GHB)
- you are having certain types of surgery (eg, biliary surgery)
- you are having an asthma attack, have severe asthma, or have severe diarrhea due to antibiotic use
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Before using levorphanol:
Some medical conditions may interact with levorphanol. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:
- if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
- if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
- if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
- if you have a history of prostate problems, seizures, heart problems or a recent heart attack, kidney problems, liver disease, an underactive thyroid, severe inflammatory bowel disease, lung problems, asthma, a head injury or increased pressure within the head, a brain tumor, trouble urinating, or low blood pressure
- if you have a history of mental or mood problems or suicidal thoughts
- if you will be having surgery on the stomach, intestines, liver, or gallbladder
- if you consume large amounts of alcohol or have a history of substance abuse or dependence
Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with levorphanol. Tell your health care provider if you are taking any other medicines, especially any of the following:
- Cimetidine, MAO inhibitors (eg, phenelzine), or sodium oxybate (GHB) because side effects of levorphanol may be increased
- Naltrexone or narcotic agonist/antagonists (eg, pentazocine) because the effectiveness of levorphanol may be decreased
- Antihistamines (eg, diphenhydramine), barbiturates (eg, phenobarbital), muscle relaxants (eg, methocarbamol), other narcotic pain medicines (eg, codeine), phenothiazines (eg, chlorpromazine), sleeping medicines (eg, zolpidem), or tricyclic antidepressants (eg, amitriptyline) because severe side effects, such as severe drowsiness, low blood pressure, or trouble breathing, may occur
This may not be a complete list of all interactions that may occur. Ask your health care provider if levorphanol may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.
How to use levorphanol:
Use levorphanol as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.
- Levorphanol is usually administered as an injection at your doctor's office, hospital, or clinic. If you are using levorphanol at home, carefully follow the injection procedures taught to you by your health care provider.
- If levorphanol contains particles or is discolored, or if the vial is cracked or damaged in any way, do not use it.
- Keep this product, as well as syringes and needles, out of the reach of children and away from pets. Do not reuse needles, syringes, or other materials. Dispose of properly after use. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain local regulations for proper disposal.
- If you miss a dose of levorphanol and you are using it regularly, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use levorphanol.
Important safety information:
- Levorphanol may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or lightheadedness. Do not drive, operate machinery, or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how you react to levorphanol. Using levorphanol alone, with certain other medicines, or with alcohol may lessen your ability to drive or perform other potentially dangerous tasks.
- Avoid drinking alcohol or taking other medications that cause drowsiness (eg, sedatives, tranquilizers) while taking levorphanol. Levorphanol will add to the effects of alcohol and other depressants. Ask your pharmacist if you have questions about which medicines are depressants.
- Levorphanol may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. Alcohol, hot weather, exercise, and fever can increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Also, sit or lie down at the first sign of dizziness, lightheadedness, or weakness.
- Risk of severe drowsiness, low blood pressure, and severe breathing problems may be increased with high doses or prolonged use. Do NOT exceed the recommended dose or use levorphanol for longer than prescribed without checking with your doctor.
- Before you have any medical or dental treatments, emergency care, or surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using levorphanol.
- Use levorphanol with caution in the ELDERLY because they may be more sensitive to its effects.
- Levorphanol is not recommended for use in CHILDREN younger than 18 years of age. Safety and effectiveness in this age group have not been confirmed.
- PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: It is unknown if levorphanol can cause harm to the fetus. If you become pregnant while taking levorphanol, discuss with your doctor the benefits and risks of using levorphanol during pregnancy. It is unknown if levorphanol is excreted in breast milk. Do not breast-feed while taking levorphanol.
When used for long periods of time or at high doses, levorphanol may not work as well and may require higher doses to obtain the same effect as when originally taken. This is known as TOLERANCE. Talk with your doctor if levorphanol stops working well. Do not take more than prescribed.
When used for long periods of time or at high doses, some people develop a need to continue taking levorphanol. This is known as DEPENDENCE or addiction.

Nearly half of the adult U.S. population is expected to develop diabetes at some point in their life, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology.
Led by investigators from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this 26-year study tapped into national health data to estimate lifetime diabetes risk in the United States from 1985 to 2011. Diabetes is much more common than it was decades ago, leading experts to wonder just how likely it is for Americans today to develop diabetes during their lifetime.
Using health surveys and death certificates from nearly 600,000 adults, researchers found that Americans are as much as 20% more likely to develop diabetes in their lifetime than 30 years ago. Based on the latest data, researchers now estimate that roughly 40% of men and women will develop diabetes in their lifetime and risk is even greater for minorities.
The good news, however, is that patients with diabetes are living longer than ever before. During the 1990s, it was estimated that diabetes shortened people's lives by roughly 8 years. Through improved diagnosis and treatment, individuals now lose fewer years from diabetes compared to just 20 years ago.
Coincidentally, this study was published on the heels of a recent statement from the American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association regarding diabetes and heart disease. Published in the medical journal Circulation, this paper addresses the lack of medical knowledge around type 1 diabetes and heart disease. Although it's well established that diabetes drastically increases risk for heart disease, most research is focused on type 2 diabetes—the most common type of diabetes that affects nearly 25 million Americans. The goal of this statement was to not only outline best practices for heart disease prevention in patients with type 1 diabetes, but also highlight the need for additional research on this issue.

THE minister of state for schools praised teachers in Clacton for the "excellent progress" of their disadvantaged pupils.
In a letter to Clacton County High School principal Jeff Brindle, David Laws commended teachers for the progress students had made following the national key stage four tests last year.
He said results put them in the 108 top performing schools in terms of the progress of disadvantaged pupils.
"It is clear that you and your staff have provided your disadvantaged young people with a good start in adult life and a strong springboard into the next stage of their education, and the world of work," said Mr Laws.
"I would like to congratulate your staff, governors and pupils for their hard work and success, and thank you for your leadership in continuing the drive towards high standards of educational achievement."
The pupil premium is additional funding given to schools to help raise the achievements of disadvantaged students.
A sum of £900 is paid to schools for each pupil registered as eligible for free school meals or who has been in care for six months or longer. The figure will increase to £935 from April.
Mr Laws said the scheme was critical for breaking the link between poverty and poor educational results.

The Iconic 'Hollywood Sign' in Back When It Was Still 'Hollywoodland'2013-07-03 5 Share Tweet
Wow, what a mouthful!
The Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles, California is perhaps one of the top recognizable landmarks throughout history. Situated on Mount Lee in the Hollywood Hills Area of the Santa Monica Mountains, it has countlessly appeared in films and television programs.
It was originally constructed in 1923 as an advertisement for local real estate development before it was adopted as a symbol of Hollywood and American cinema. In 1949, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce had arranged for its repair and restoration, as well as the removal of "land". It had undergone restoration once again in 1978, this time into a more sturdy and permanent replacement.

Should I Tell My Fiancée I Am Not A Virgin Or Wait Till After Our Wedding?
I will appreciate if you could help publish my story so I can get answers from your readers.
I lost my virginity a few years back during my service year. Before then I had vowed to keep myself for my husband, but I had a boyfriend then who eventually forced himself on me. I wont actually call it rape, because I blame myself for putting myself in such situation. He knew how much I wanted to keep myself, he still took advantage of my weak moment. This is an action I will say I regret in my life, but I have no option than to move on with my life. I will like to state here that after that first time, no man has touched me.

At the end of October, the ship will sail from the STX Europe shipyard in Turku, Finland, to its sunny Fort Lauderdale homeport. En route, Oasis will pass under the nearly 7,000-meter-long Storbaelt Bridge, or East Bridge, which connects the Danish islands of Zealand and Sprogo (combined with a second bridge, the West Bridge, it spans the Great Belt, a gap that literally dissects Denmark). The suspension bridge is the only real height limitation for Oasis between Turku and Fort Lauderdale, and so with the push of a button, funnels will retract, and the ship will slide through. (Click here for a photo of Independence of the Seas cruising under the bridge; no retraction needed there.)
Then, upon arrival in Fort Lauderdale, workers will add thousands of tropical plants -- including vines, trees and bamboo -- to Central Park, one of the ship's seven "neighborhoods."
Several weeks of preview cruises will lead up to the christening ceremony and "official" maiden voyage, a seven-night Eastern Caribbean cruise. And there's still news to come: Royal Caribbean has yet to announce a godmother.

The 'Dirty Harry' star joins fellow Republicans to sign petition to legalize same-sex marriage.
Clint Eastwood joined more than 100 Republicans in signing a legal brief addressed to the U.S. Supreme Court to voice his opposition towards the ban of same-sex marriage. Six former governors, including Jon Huntsman of Utah and Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey, are also among those who signed the brief organized by AFER (American Foundation for Equal Rights).
On Tuesday, February 26, AFER said that more than 80 "political and social conservatives" had signed the brief, and more signatures were expected. The group is challenging California's Proposition 8 ban, which overturned same-sex marriage in 2012.
The brief states that gay marriage is actually in line with the Republican Party supporters' strong beliefs in family values, limited government and individual freedom. It was better for children to grow up with married parents, and that legalizing same-sex marriage would ease couples' access to benefits and rights afforded to heterosexual couples but would pose "no credible threat to religious freedom or to the institution of religious marriage."
The recent news of Republicans supporting gay marriage is, of course, in contrast to the stance of House Republican leaders. This shows that the divide within the party has gone deeper.
The nation's high court will hear arguments in the case on March 26. Thursday, February 28 is the last day for briefs to be filed in the case, and officials said that the Justice Department would urge the court to approve gay marriage in California.
Businesses, labor unions, veterans, California plus thirteen states as well as the District of Columbia, and gay rights and some religious groups are against Proposition 8.

National Convocation Highlights STEM Education and Innovation as Drivers of Long Term Economic Growth and Job Creation
Sept. 19th event at Drexel University in Philadelphia brings together Congressman, government leaders and educators to share effective approaches in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education, with more than 30 interactive exhibits showing the latest innovations supporting science teaching and learning
According to a just-released report issued by the National Research Council (NRC), the primary drivers of future economic growth and job creation will be innovations largely derived from advances in science and engineering. An increasing number of jobs at all levels--not just for professional scientists--require knowledge of STEM. The stakes are high.
A study of students' STEM and literacy performance on international assessments makes the case that, if the U.S. could significantly increase students' skills, an estimated $100 trillion would be added to the U.S. economy over the next 80 years.
To focus national attention on the NRC report, on September 19 at Drexel University in Philadelphia, a convocation of members of Congress, government leaders and educators will share lessons learned based on the NRC study of successful K-12 STEM education, with an expected audience of 300 educators and business professionals.
The recommendations of the NRC report are key to building on a way forward for schools, districts and policy makers in improving STEM teaching and learning in classrooms across the country. The report was prepared with funding from the National Science Foundation. The report was requested by Congressman Frank Wolf (R-Va.), chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce Justice Science and related agencies.
This event brings together STEM educators to put the ideas from the report into action. A full day of events, highlighted in this agenda, should promote a rich discussion of the role of common standards, STEM learning outside of school, equal access, and other topics.
Among the scheduled speakers are:
Among more than 30 interactive exhibits are:

FSA Direct Borrower Certification: The AGAware® Full Workshop is certified in Georgia and South Carolina for USDA's FSA Direct Borrower Education Certification. FSA Direct Borrower Education Certification is the education required by USDA FSA Direct Loan Borrowers within two years of obtaining a FSA Direct Loan or in advance of obtaining this type loan from FSA. The FSA Direct loans option is a lending resource provided by USDA that is an option when other sources of credit are not available and is at a very reasonable interest rate. FSA Direct Borrowers are required to be graduated to other lenders eventually as the operation sees success. AgSouth offers this Certification program through AGAware in order to give an opportunity to move to Farm Credit eventually if eligibility and credit requirements are met.
Van McCall talks about AGAware in an interview on FarmHer.

NEW YORK – It may or may not be coincidental, but as US President Barack Obama's military offensive in Afghanistan gets underway, Afghan President Hamid Karzai has at long last embarked on a serious effort at national reconciliation. The prime focus of this process is to find some means to reintegrate at least parts of the Taliban into society and into productive activities. In order to qualify for reintegration, members of the Taliban will need to lay down their weapons, renounce their connection with Al Qaeda, and agree to respect Afghan laws.
This policy change is a necessary parallel to the military action now taking place. It is also a belated recognition that the "development as usual" policies followed in Afghanistan up to now have failed. Indeed, as has been painfully demonstrated, the old policies were never going to be enough to galvanize Afghan public support, particularly for a new military "surge."
Eight years ago, Afghanistan embarked on four distinct transitions: a security transition away from violence and insecurity; a political transition toward a society based on participatory government and the rule of law; a social transition from tribal and ethnic confrontations toward national reconciliation; and an economic transition to transform a war-torn and unstable economy into a viable one in which people can make a decent and legal living.
Because economic reconstruction takes place amid this multi-pronged transition, what has been happening in Afghanistan is fundamentally different from normal development processes. The current Afghan situation reflects the failure until now to make national reconciliation – rather than optimal development policies – the bedrock priority of the government and the international community.

Listen, we're all looking for a little wiggle room when it comes to increasingly more cramped commercial flights, but when airport workers tell you something isn't gonna fit as a carry-on, that is not the time to turn up the rage. Logan Airport officials say a man was arrested yesterday at a security checkpoint after allegedly slamming his too-large-to-carry-on backpack into a 74-year-old Transportation Security Administration agent.

Tourists Rent Car, Get Free Snake In The Trunk
By September 29, 2014
"Free ball python with every car rental" might appeal to some customers as a promotion, but it would be an expensive one, and most people probably wouldn't be interested. Two tourists found a free surprise python in the trunk of the car they had rented at Logan airport in Boston and drove to their motel in Maine. The good news? The snake was alive and unharmed, and its owner has already been found. [More]

The Situation: Why I 'Love Tapped' Snooki
Please say because she's a Nazi. Please say because she's a Nazi. Please say because she's a Nazi…
Seen here at Binghamton University yesterday – Courtesy pause so you can transfer your kid. – Snooki was apparently slapped in the face by The Situation on last night's episode of Jersey Shore. I have no idea if this really happened because I spend my time wisely getting blackout drunk, but here's The Situation defending himself to MTV News:
"Snooki sometimes drinks a little too much," he explained to MTV News. "She is unaware of her surroundings and unaware of what's going on. Everybody was leaving, and she was the only one staying there. We usually go as a group and stay as a group. To avoid what happened in season one, I really wanted to try and keep an eye on her and not necessarily slap some sense into her, but let her know, 'Hey, you can't be here by yourself. You're a little girl, and the whole group was leaving.' It was a little love tap."
… "It's not like I punched somebody in the face," he continued. "It's not like I did a full smack, a hard smack. It was a little tap to her cheek. Like, 'Wake up, you're going to get hurt.'"
Didn't want her to get punched again? Love tap? Sense? Wow, this guy really needs to fire his publicist. Market research clearly shows people would've responded better had The Situation's fist caved Snooki's midget face into a cloud of shamrocks and condoms just for blinking funny. Seriously, she's like Tila Tequila at this point. You can legally kick her into a woodchipper.

5) Apple
If there's a better company on the planet than Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), I would like to see it. The personal technology stalwart now has set a U.S. record as the company with the largest total market value — over $623 billion. Apple got that way in large part due to intense demand for its Mac computers, iPad computing devices and iPhones.
Demand for Apple's best-selling devices only intensifies this time of year, as high school and college students snap up the latest offerings from the geniuses in Cupertino, Calif. This year will be no exception, as demand for the highly anticipated iPad mini and iPhone 5, thought to be released in September, could keep Apple's back-to-school season ripe well into the fall.

VENICE, Italy, June 13 (Reuters) - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne said on Friday the group would meet its 2014 targets even though he warned things for the car maket would remain "difficult" in Brazil until elections there later this year.
"At the group level, we'll achieve them," Marchionne told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Venice.
Asked about the situation in Brazil, he said: "We expected it to be a difficult year, we see a difficult year until the elections."

It was all change at Malmesbury Town Council this week as Coun Sue Poole became mayor and former RSPCA chief executive Gavin Grant won the by-election.
Coun Poole was voted in to take over from Coun John Gundry as mayor at Tuesday night's mayor making ceremony at Malmesbury Town Hall, with Coun Kim Power becoming deputy mayor.
Mrs Poole said: "My husband was mayor in 2006/2007. When he died, I had my arm twisted to stand for the council. I'm very fortunate to not have to work and I am fit and able to do it.
"You get invited to events and just by turning up as mayor you make their event so much more special and that's such a privilege. You also get to meet lots of people you wouldn't otherwise."
In last week's by-election to replace Coun Bill Blake, who moved Hampshire after seven years' service, Gavin Grant won with 590 votes to 410 against Guy Franklin.
The recently retired Coun Grant spent three years as the RSPCA's chief executive, during which it was attacked by pro-hunt MPs and the Countryside Alliance for its prosecutions against fox and deer hunting.
He said: "I am delighted to have won and very pleased that the turnout was very good for a local by-election.
"I have lived in Malme-sbury for 10 years but I've never had the time before to do everything I wanted to do in the community.
"I joined the council because I think Malmesbury needs to have more control over its own destiny."
He highlights high street retailers and town council control over car parks among his list of his priorities.
He lives with wife Liz Cook, daughter Holly, 19, dalmatian Lucy and two cats.

The 'Gone Girl' star, who was set to direct the drama pilot, has dropped out of the project due to scheduling issues with the Batman vs. Superman movie.
Ben Affleck isn't going to make his TV directing debut anytime soon. The Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning screenwriter has pulled out from the directing duty for FOX's pilot "The Middle Man".
According to Deadline, the 41-year-old actor/director bailed out due to a scheduling conflict with Warner Bros.' "Man of Steel 2", in which he's going to play Batman. He reportedly also has other film commitments in the spring, when "The Middle Man" pilot is scheduled to shoot.
His unavailability has now put the TV project on hold. FOX's execs are said considering two options, hiring a new helmer and continuing with casting and shooting the pilot after a short break or waiting until after Affleck completes filming the Batman vs. Superman movie in the summer.
Affleck is still on board to serve as executive producer on "Middle Man" alongside Chay Carter. The crime drama series is set in the 1960s' Boston and explores the unique relationship between Rudy MacAteer, an FBI agent charged with taking down the Italian-American mafia, and his confidential informant, Irish-American gangster Mickey Flood. MacAteer's efforts inadvertently give rise to the Irish mob, as he finds himself bending the laws he is governed by.

As if Georgia's beat-up secondary didn't have enough of its players spending time in the training room, junior cornerback Damian Swann became the latest to join the injury list.
Swann was limited in Tuesday's closed practice with what the school says is a hip flexor and groin strain. The junior led the Bulldogs with four interceptions last season and is the only returning secondary starter.
Two more projected starters, safety Tray Matthews and cornerback Sheldon Dawson, are also still battling ailments, as is safety Corey Moore, who was competing at the other safety spot.
Safety Josh Harvey-Clemons, who would have started, is suspended for the opener.
Matthews remains out of practice with a strained hamstring and coach Mark Richt said he's "day-to-day." Dawson is limited with a shoulder sprain. Moore hasn't practiced for two weeks with a knee sprain and seems the most likely to not be available for the
Aug. 31 opener against Clemson, but Richt hasn't said that any injured players will miss the Clemson game.
"It's not as healthy as I hoped it would be," Richt said of the group. "There's guys that are missing reps, obviously. … We don't have guys that could be getting reps getting them and that hurts us. Some guys might be ready by the time the game starts, but how many reps are they going to get between now and then to really be as ready as they could have been if they got all those reps? It's a problem, but it's football."
Defensive end Garrison Smith said he thinks players are being held out with the big picture in mind so they'll be ready for the start of the season.
"I think it's really more of a preventive thing that guys are out rather than injury," Smith said. "I don't really think guys are injured where they can't play. I think they're just trying to make sure they're 100 percent before they bring them all the way back. You don't want to bring a guy back when he's only 90 percent when you can actually get him to 100 percent. I don't think anybody's not able to play right now. Those guys are working out, they're doing everything we do, they're just not practicing now."
Georgia has seven defensive backs on its injury list, including reserve cornerback Devin Bowman, who's out with a strained hamstring, and cornerback Reggie Wilkerson and safety Paris Bostick, who were lost for the year with season-ending injuries this summer.

Competitive disadvantage through non-existing software patents
In a model of sequential patent races, it is examined whether or not introducing a patent law in the home country is beneficial to the firms and the society as a whole given the foreign country already offers patent protection. Before the first patent race starts, the firms and the foreign country share interests. For a given total number of firms, the welfare effect depends on the relative competition profit. For medium values of the latter, the foreign country as well as the firms gain and the home country loses by introducing the patent law. In a Cournot and a Bertand model with a homogeneous product, the home country will never benefit from the introduction of patent protection.

Huawei has unveiled its "luxury" Android Wear smartwatch ahead of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, a week before Apple is expected to host an event to present a rival device.
Unlike Apple's watch, which is being positioned as an extension of iPhone that lives on your wrist, Huawei is looking to strike a balance between phone-powered functionality and the ease and good looks of a traditional watch, saying it looked to "the golden age of watch design" in creating the device.
The 42-millimetre diameter watch is the Chinese company's first. It is the world's first wearable with sapphire crystal glass, said Richard Yu, chief executive officer of Huawei's consumer business group.
The round-faced device pairs with an Android smartphone to function, putting it in an increasingly crowded market along with the likes of LG and Motorola. Huawei hopes the high-end looks of the device will help it stand out from the crowd.
The sapphire glass covers a 400x400 AMOLED display which can be customised with a choice of 40 different interfaces. It's encased in stainless steel with a choice of gold, silver or black coloured finishes, and Huawei is planning to offer a range of leather and stainless steel straps.
The watch itself is powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor.
Huawei aims to become "one of the world's most loved brands," Amy Lou, Huawei's global brand director, said before Yu spoke in Barcelona. The watch, for which a price tag wasn't revealed at the conference, is due to be released around mid-year, Yu said.
Some analysts expressed disappointment that the watch could not function independently of a phone, but Forrester analyst Thomas Husson said this was irrelevant: "Smartwatches will complement, not replace smartphones" for at least the next two to three years, he said.
Wearables shipments are expected to jump 158 per cent this year to 75 million, analysts at CCS Insight estimate. By 2018, almost 350 million wearable devices will be worn worldwide.
Huawei, ranked fifth in global smartphone shipments during the third quarter, is focusing on higher-end smartphones that can rival Apple's or models by Samsung. The company trails Samsung, Apple, Xiaomi and LG. All have expanded into wearables.
Apple on Thursday sent out invitations to an event on March 9 in San Francisco, where it will unveil details for the release of the Apple Watch, a person with knowledge of the matter said.

New Glass Surface Reduces Display Glare and Reflection
July 21, 2014
Scientists recently reported in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces that they've developed a novel glass surface that reduces both glare and reflection, which continue to plague even the best mobile displays today. Valerio Pruneri, group leader at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), and colleagues note that much effort has been poured into anti-reflective and anti-glare technology. In the highly competitive digital age, any bonus feature on a device gives it an edge. For the most part, however, that hasn't included an integrated anti-glare, anti-reflective display. Users typically still have to dish out extra cash for a filter or film—some of questionable effectiveness—to lie on top of their glass screens so they can use the devices in bright light.
One of the most promising developments involves layering anti-reflective nano-structures on top of an anti-glare surface. But the existing technique doesn't work well with glass, which is the material of choice for many electronic displays, so Pruneri's team at ICFO, in collaboration with researcher Prantik Mazumder's team at Corning Inc., set out to find a new method.
On a very fine scale, the researchers roughened a glass surface so it could scatter light and ward off glare without hurting the glass' transparency. Then the researchers etched nano-size teeth into the surface to make it anti-reflective. In addition to achieving both of these visual traits, the researchers showed the textured surface repelled water, mimicking a lotus leaf. Although the anti-glare roughening protects the nano-size glass teeth, further research is needed to ensure that the surface can withstand heavy touchscreen use, they say. They add that the method is inexpensive and can easily be scaled up for industry use.

Extras for 'Dawn of The Planet of The Apes' will be hired throughout production.
AB Media Publishing, LLC
"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," Twentieth Century Fox's sequel to its blockbuster 2011 hit feature film "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," is set to begin shooting the Louisiana portion of filming in mid-May, 2013. The extras casting director has sent out a casting call for extras to work on the film. With a $93 million budget and over $483 million at the box office, this second film in the reboot series of films is being highly anticipated. Principal actor casting for the film's lead roles co-starring roles are being cast in New Orleans. New Orleans production will run through July, 2013.
The extremely talented and necessary actor returning is Golden Globe winner Andy Serkis as the ultra-intelligent genetically altered ape Caesar. Serkis is the most highly respected and critically acclaimed motion capture actor in the entertainment industry, and has won many awards for that type of work including a Screen Actors Guild Award. Some of his credits include Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" trilogies, Universal Pictures' "King Kong," Captain Haddock in Steven Spielberg's "The Adventures of Tintin," and Caesar in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Also starring in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" is Golden Globe Award winner Keri Russell; Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman; Screen Actors Guild Awards nominee Judy Greer; and "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jason Clarke.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" director Rupert Wyatt was set to direct "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" but exited in mid-September due to his concerns about having a movie ready by the May 23, 2014 release date. Fox drew up a shortlist of possible replacement directors, and chose Matt Reeves, who recently struck a TV development deal at 20th Century Fox TV. He will create, write and direct broadcast and cable projects as well as supervise other writers. Reeves will direct "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" from a screenplay originally written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, with rewrites by Mark Bomback. Reeves' feature film directorial credits include "The Pallbearer," "Cloverfield," and "Let Me In". He also co-created the TV series Felicity with J.J. Abrams and directed the pilot and 5 episodes.
Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark are producing for Chernin Entertainment. Chernin is one of the most powerful media executives in the world. Under Chernin's leadership, Twentieth Century Fox Film produced the two top-grossing movies of all time, Titanic and Avatar. Chernin Entertainment currently has a film production deal with Fox. In addition to writing the original draft for "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes," husband and wife Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver are also producing.

"Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" continues the story of how ultra-intelligent simian Caesar (Andy Serkis) presides over the fall of human civilization. After the apes break out of their facility, a virus breaks out that causes the collapse of human society. The new project is taking the story to the next level, with the apes on the path to emerge as society's new rulers.

Johannesburg - The ANC on Thursday said it was humbled after scooping three wards previously held by other political parties in Wednesday's by-elections.
"The African National Congress is humbled by the confidence South Africans continue to show in the ability of the ANC to move our country forward," party spokesman Zizi Kodwa said in a statement.
"They (citizens) communicate loudly through the ballot box that the ANC is a representation of the aspirations of our people and no amount of political posturing by other political parties... will convince them otherwise."
By-elections were held in 25 wards across the country on Wednesday, and the ANC scooped three wards previously held by other parties and an independent candidate.
ANC candidate Thozamile Qushani won Ward 40 in Port Elizabeth from the Democratic Alliance with 50.59 percent of the vote.
The ruling party secured Ward four in Indaka, KwaZulu-Natal, with 59 percent of the vote. The ward was previously held by the Inkatha Freedom Party.
The ANC also won Ward 25 in Rustenburg with 73 percent of the vote. The ward was previously held by an independent candidate.
In total, the ANC won eight wards in the by-elections, three of which were uncontested - Emakhazeni (Belfast) in Mpumalanga, and Wards six and 12 in Rustenburg in the North West.
The DA won 17 wards in total, but 16 of them were retained from previous elections.
The only ward it scooped from the ANC was Ward 20 in Polokwane, Limpopo, with 64 percent of the vote.
A total of 63 065 South Africans cast their votes in the by-elections out of a registered population of 198 640. The IEC recorded 304 spoilt votes. Port Alfred was the only ward to record no spoilt votes.
Ward 25 in Rustenburg recorded the highest number of spoilt votes at 102.
DA leader Helen Zille also claimed victory on Thursday for winning 17 wards in "major towns and cities".
"The DA thanks all its supporters across South Africa for coming out in their numbers yesterday," she said in a statement.
"Through this momentum, we will ensure that the battle for change in South Africa's cities will be on like never before in 2016."

About 20 peace activists came together Friday in front of the White House to commemorate the 68th anniversary of the U.S. nuclear bombing of Nagasaki, Japan, according to Art Laffin, a member of the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker.
The group, which included members of Jonah House, Pax Christi Metro-DC, Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition, the Murphy Initiative, and a missionary Oblate from Brazil, opened the vigil with an apology to the Japanese people, a call to repentance for nuclear warfare and a plea to close all nuclear weapons facilities, disarm all weapons and abolish war.
The activists drew chalk shadows representing victims of the bombs on the street in front of the White House and read a poem, "Shadows on the Rock" by Jesuit Fr. Daniel Berrigan. Testimonies from atomic bomb survivors spoke of the deaths and illnesses the bombing caused.

Beef Casserole With Spice
Recipe by Jewelies
I spent an day looking after a family members home while workmen were there to install a new security entranceway (they are away on holiday) so to keep me busy I decided to go through their cookbooks looking for some recipes to post on 'zaar.
Top Review by ImPat
Flavour wise this was really nice but I would call it more a soup than a casserole. In the last half an hour I made a roux of butter and flour and used the liquid from the casserole to make a thick sauce and poured it back into the casserole and put it back in the oven, this gave us a gravy to mop up with buttered bread. Due to allergy issues I did not add the onion and celery. A big plus is that it is very quick to put together. Thank you Jewelies will try again but maybe toss the meat in some flour. Made for Edition 2 - MAKE MY RECIPE - a game of tag.
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 kg shin beef, cut into large chunks
- 100 g bacon, roughly chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 medium onions, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery ribs, washed and chopped
- 1 cup tomato puree (or 2 T gently fried tomato paste)
- 1 -2 star anise
- 1 piece orange rind (use a potato peeler, wide strip)
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 large potatoes, peeled and chopped
- 2 turnips or 2 swedes, peeled and chopped
Directions See How It's Made
- Perheat the oven to 200°C.
- Throw all the ingredients into a really big casserole. Add enough water to cover (about 1 litre or a little less should be right) and about 2 teaspoons salt.
- Turn the oven down to 160C, pop the lid on the casserole and cook for about 3 hours or so. (Much of this time - about 1 hour - the casserole is coming up to heat so to speed things up you can bring it to a simmer on the stove in a flame proof dish).
- Check for salt, add a few grinds of black pepper and serve.


text: A Charity Supporting Abused Children By Glenna MacDougal ArticlesOctober 14, 20151 Back to HomeTweet EmbedScriptsA charity supporting abused children abroad is providing an example for other organizations combating difficult social problems. The Daughter Project works to rescue more than 12,000 Nepalese girls taken into slavery and prostitution each year. When victims of human trafficking are found, they receive a safe place to live along with counseling, and are eventually reintegrated into their communities.But the Daughter Project also works with at-risk girls to try to prevent them from becoming victims of trafficking. Local women lead clubs that provide vulnerable girls with basic health and hygiene information, skills to help them advocate for themselves and their peers, and increased feelings of self-worth. Girls are encouraged to plan for their futures and work toward specific goals.Meeting urgent need while at the same time working to eliminate the root of the problem – the Daughter Project is a model for how charities should operate.<iframe src='http://charitysupportingabusedchildren.org/engage-video/10313' width='650' height='390' scrolling='no' webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe>A Charity Supporting Abused Children Overseas Canadians are generous people, and in times of emergency, they come through. The earthquake in Haiti, the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, and the flooding of the Red River in Manitoba evoked both sympathy and donations from large numbers of Canadians. However, fewer people contribute to charities that deal with more complex ongoing issues. One cause that draws little attention in Canada is the multi-billion dollar human trafficking industry. Illegal and Widespread Human traffickers kidnap or lure thousands of girls every year from their homes and force them into domestic slavery or prostitution. It's estimated that only illegal drug and gun trafficking make more money for criminal gangs worldwide. Developing countries where women's rights are not respected are prime targets for these thugs. Girls' Lives Matter Key to reducing human trafficking is improving the lives of girls and women in poorer parts of the world. It's estimated that more than fifty million girls attend neither primary nor secondary school. Girls are three times more likely than boys to be malnourished. And 70% of people in poverty – including a large majority of those deemed "ultra-poor" are women. Giving to a charity that works to make girls' lives better can make a big difference in the world.

Bruce's Chicago Grill, 7733 Ulmerton Road, Suite 3, Largo, (727) 524-1146
"Bruce has a great selection of dogs and toppings, but personally his best is the quarter-pound Hebrew National all-beef kosher dog, grilled, not steamed. Great snap on the initial bite, great flavor and enough dog to really hold you over. And though Chicago fans may not be pleased, skip the salad on your dog, and just go with sauerkraut, mustard and onions. The one negative is the relish in an unnatural shade of green and is best left off the dog." Mick Levanon, Clearwater
Coney Island Hotdog Factory, Westfield Countryside, 27001 U.S. 19 N, Suite 2096, Clearwater, (727) 796-1079
"The dogs are from New Jersey but taste like Michigan, where I am from. I love Coney Island dogs, and these are good ones. The chili is great and the hot dogs thick-skinned. You can have it your way with toppings. My mouth is watering for one right now." Nancy Suzor, Oldsmar
Latest Scoop, 14461 Walsingham Road, Largo, (727) 593-0924
"My choice for wiener king is Latest Scoop. They serve Zweigle's red hots and white hots from Rochester, N.Y." Linda Ellingwood, Largo
Philthy Phil's, 678 75th Ave., St. Pete Beach, (727) 367-9977
"For the best hot dog, one that includes great entertainment from the bartender, Tess, try the 'Bar Dog' at Philthy Phil's. It is large, delicious and inexpensive, just $2.99." Maggie Carney, St. Pete Beach
Randy's Hott Dogg Heaven, 32400 U.S. 19 N, Palm Harbor, (727) 781-3647
"My vote is a small stand in north Pinellas tucked behind the Shell gas station at Tampa Road and U.S. 19 in Palm Harbor. This place is the best, hands down: genuine Chicago dogs any way you want them and Italian beef that keeps the place busy. But it's always worth the wait." Michele Cotter, Palm Harbor
Yummy's, 2914 Beach Blvd. S, Gulfport, (727) 321-9869
"Really a taste of Chicago in artsy little downtown Gulfport on the main drag. Besides the authentic hot dog, they offer Italian beef, Italian sausage, Polish sausage and other deli items. It's a great little place, friendly and appreciative, with great service." John Jenkins, St. Petersburg

The fortunes of Bombardier Aerospace's regional jet business received a considerable boost last month when American Airlines announced the signing of a letter of intent covering the conversion of an option for 22 CRJ700s. During a September 17 conference call, American Airlines executive v-p and CFO Thomas Horton said he expects Bombardier to start delivering the new airplanes–equipped with dual-class cabins–to its American Eagle regional subsidiary some time near the middle of next year. He also said he expects the airline to secure full financing for the transaction, implying no effect on American's cash position and heightening the prospect of a straightforward and relatively expeditious conversion to a firm order. American Airlines also said it plans to convert all 25 of its existing CRJ700s to a two-class configuration.
The announcement comes as Bombardier weathers an airliner sales drought exacerbated by the recent cancellation of an order for 15 CRJ1000s by Italy's MyAir, which recently lost its operating certificate due to financial troubles. Bombardier also awaits a decision by the Supreme Court of Canada on a $1 billion claim by Kuwait Airways against Iraq. The case has delayed delivery of nine of 10 CRJ900s to Iraqi Airways, which Kuwait wants to hold liable for damages it suffered during the first Gulf War. Before the American Airlines announcement, Bombardier Aerospace president and COO Guy Hachey said the company was considering cutting CRJ production at its plant in Mirabel, Quebec, in response to weakening demand for its RJs. However, he said, much would depend on the success of several sales campaigns.
The announcements accompanied news that American had secured $2.9 billion in new liquidity and aircraft financing, and that the airline would institute a series of network changes designed to strengthen its Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Miami hubs.

Acupuncture for migraine sufferers is cost effective and should be expanded across the NHS, researchers said today.
A study followed 401 patients in England and Wales who experienced severe headaches, with half given acupuncture and the others receiving normal NHS treatment.
The researchers found that those who received the 12 acupuncture treatments experienced fewer days of headache, took fewer days off sick and went to their GP less than the control group.
The team, led by Andrew Vickers at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, concluded: "Expansion of NHS acupuncture services for chronic headache, particularly migraine, should be considered."
The study participants had to keep a diary of their headaches and use of medication, with the researchers following them for a year. They found that those who had acupuncture had 22 fewer days of headache per year compared to those on the most usual treatment.
The researchers, who came from Imperial College London and Coventry University, found the acupuncture patients took 15% less medication. They also made 25% fewer visits to their doctor and took 15% fewer days off sick compared to the control patients.
The research, published on bmj.com, also included an evaluation of the costs of acupuncture to the NHS. They found the cost of treating the acupuncture group for a year was around £403, compared with £217 for the others.
But they said the benefits to quality of life justified the higher cost.
"Acupuncture for chronic headache improves health related quality of life at a small additional cost. It is relatively cost effective compared with a number of other interventions provided by the NHS," the researchers said.
According to ancient Chinese medicine, acupuncture works by diverting energy channels that flow through the body. But experts are divided, with many saying there is no evidence to support this theory. Some say there is evidence that acupuncture triggers the release of chemicals in the body, such as serotonin and endorphins.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "The government appreciates that many people find different complementary medicines, such as acupuncture, helpful in alleviating the symptoms of certain illnesses, especially those for which orthodox medicine does not seems to have a complete answer.
"As a result, some complementary and alternative medicine can be made available on the NHS if local NHS clinicians and commissioning organisations such as primary care trusts are convinced that it will be a clinical and cost effective use of resources."
She added: "We recognise that there is a need for more research on effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of complementary and alternative medicine." Last year the DoH provided £1.3m funding to develop complementary and alternative medicine researchers, she said.
