Irish American Minka Kelly rejoined Peter Berg, her director for "Friday Night Lights," to help create his conceptual vision for Maroon 5's "One More Night."
"The [story behind her involvement] was Pete reaching out to her and saying, 'Hey, do you want to do this?' and her saying 'Yes,' and us saying, 'Thank you!'," Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine told MTV News.
Levine's video persona, a gritty boxer, strains to find time to spend with his wife, Kelly, and baby while also providing for them through his violent performance in the ring.
Berg and Levine devised the concept together to be more of an "indie film" than Maroon 5's previous "blockbuster" music video for "Payphone," which begins with Levine standing in front of a burning car.
In "One More Night," Kelly's character initially prepares a steak for her husband and cuddles with their baby. But of course, this is Maroon 5, and family life can't stay quite that simple.

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- August 2, 2006 -- In a ceremony today, at the first annual
Ladies' Home Journal Health Breakthrough Awards, Sally Field, Oscar-winning
actress and advocate for osteoporosis education, honored medical
professionals whose breakthroughs have benefited women's health.
"For me personally and for so many other women, the dedicated efforts of
these medical professionals have given us chances that our mothers and
grandmothers never had in facing diseases head on, and thriving," said
Field, who was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2005. At that time, Field
began an active osteoporosis management program and treats her condition
with once-monthly Boniva® (ibandronate sodium), a prescription medicine
for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
A baby boomer who turns 60 in November, Field continues to lead an active
life -- including filming her upcoming fall show "Brothers & Sisters,"
which will air on ABC, and rallying women nationwide to work toward better
bone health at www.BoneHealth.com and 877-BoneHealth.
"Already 50,000 Web visitors have joined me online to learn how to treat
their bones right. It's important to keep the momentum, so I'm encouraging
women to tell their friends and family members about BoneHealth.com.
Helping more women learn about osteoporosis and how to maintain good bone
health is what it's all about," she said. The "Rally With Sally For Bone
Health"(SM) campaign is sponsored by Roche and GlaxoSmithKline.
Field presented honors to the medical professionals at the Ladies' Home
Journal Health Breakthrough Awards in Manhattan. Created to recognize
medical professionals whose work has improved women's lives, the awards
were given to:
-- Frank Speizer, M.D., and Walter Willett, M.D., both of Harvard Medical
School, for their work with The Nurses Health Study, which has examined
chronic diseases in women over the past 30 years, including osteoporosis
-- Deborah K. Armstrong, M.D., of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine,
Baltimore, for her research into ovarian cancer
-- Susan Cu-Uvin, M.D., of Brown Medical School, for setting up the
nation's first HIV/AIDs menopause clinic
-- Mary Ann Keenan, M.D., of University of Pennsylvania, for pioneering
surgical techniques that relieve musculo/skeletal deformities brought on by
-- Etta Pisano, M.D., of University of North Carolina, for research into
digital mammograms, and
-- Marianne Legato, M.D., of Columbia University, for helping to
establish and promote gender-specific medicine.
About Boniva® (ibandronate sodium)
Boniva Tablets are contraindicated in patients unable to stand or sit
upright for at least 60 minutes, with uncorrected hypocalcemia, or with
known hypersensitivity to any component of Boniva. Boniva, like other
bisphosphonates administered orally, may cause upper gastrointestinal
disorders such as dysphagia, esophagitis, and esophageal or gastric ulcer.
Boniva is not recommended in patients with severe renal impairment.
Adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D is important in all patients.
Patients have reported severe bone, joint and/or muscle pain after taking
bisphosphonate therapy for osteoporosis. Additionally, osteonecrosis of the
jaw has been reported in patients treated with bisphosphonates; most cases
have been in cancer patients undergoing dental procedures.
The most commonly reported adverse events with once-monthly Boniva
regardless of causality were abdominal pain (Boniva 150 mg 7.8 percent vs.
Boniva 2.5 mg 5.3 percent), hypertension (6.3 percent vs. 7.3 percent),
dyspepsia (5.6 percent vs. 7.1 percent), arthralgia (5.6 percent vs. 3.5
percent), nausea (5.1 percent vs. 4.8 percent) and diarrhea (5.1 percent
vs. 4.1 percent). For complete prescribing information for Boniva, see

Chemistry Unit 3

group 1 alkali metals
Learn these trends:
as you go down the group the alkali metals become:
Bigger atoms
More reactive
Higher density
Lower melting point
Lower boiling point
1) The alkali metals are very reactive.
2) They are: Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Caesium.
3) The alkali metals all have ONE outer electron.
4) The alkali metals all form 1+ ions.
5) The alkali metals always form ionic compounds.
6) Reaction with water produces Hydrogen gas.
2Na (s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2NaOH (aq) + H2(g)
2K(s) + 2H2O(l) --> 2KOH (aq) + H2
Transition Elements
Transition Elements:
1) Are good conductors of heat and electricity.
2) They're very dense, strong and shiny.
3) Transition metals are much less reactive than group 1 metals - they don't react very much with water or oxygen, for example.
4) They're also much denser, stronger and harder than the group 1 metals, and have much higher melting points (except for mercury, which is liquid at room temperature). E.g. iron melts a 1500oC, copper at 1100oC and zinc and 400oC.
Transition metals often have more than one ion, e.g. Fe2+, Fe3+.
Two other examples are copper: Cu+ and Cu2+ and chromium: Cr2+, Cr3+ and Cr6+. The different ions usually form different-coloured compounds too: Fe2+ ions usually give green compounds, whereas Fe3+ ions usually form red/brown compounds e.g. rust.
The compounds are very colourful.
1) The compounds are colourful due to the transition metal ion they contain, e.g. potassium chlomate(VI) is yellow. Potassium maganate(VII) is purple. Copper(II) sulphate is blue.
2) The colour of people's hair and also the colours in gemstones, like blue samphires and green emeralds, and the colours in pottery glazes are all due to transition metals. And weathered copper is a lovely colourful green.
Transition metals and their compounds all make good catalysts.
1) Iron is the catalyst used in the Haber process for making ammonia. 2) Maganese(IV) oxide is a good catalyst for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. 3) Nickel is useful for turning oils into fats for making margarine.
Their properties are dues to the way their electron shells fill.
1) In an atom, as you get further from the nucleus, energy levels get closer together until they start to overlap.This first happens between energy levels 3 & 4.It affects the way the electron shells fill.
2) Potassium has 19 electrons - but the 19th electron goes into the 4th energy level, not the 3rd. The electron arrangements 2,8,8,1. Same thing with the next element, Calcium - which is 2,8,8,2.
3) The next ten elements (the transition metals) put their electrons into the overlapping 3rd energy level until its full.
Titrations are used to find out concentrations.
1) Titrations allow you to find out exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise a quantity of alkali or alkali for acid.
2) You put some alkali in a flask , along with some indicator. The indicator used depends on the strengths of the acid and alkali.
3) Add the acid, a bit at a time, to the alkali using a burette - giving the flask a regular swirl. Go especially slowly (a drop at a time) when you think the alkali is almost neutralised.
4) The indicator changes colour when all the alkali has been neutralised, e.g. phenolphthalein is pink in alkalis, but colourless in acids.
5) Record the amount of acid used to neutralise the alkali. It's best to repeat this process a few times, making sure you get (pretty much) the same answer each time.

Creative Is No Longer Support Their Previous Products
Today I found the word "creative" in google trends with graphs that crawl up and hotness: mild. I wonder, what is meant here. Then I remembered about a company in digital entertainment for personal computers. Creative is famous with its speaker system and a superior soundcard product with a Sound Blaster trademark.
I try to visit this company's website to find out whether they are intended in the google trends this time. But it turned out that I could not access their website. It seems that their servers overload or because of other reasons, I do not know. Maybe this is what causes the search with the word "creative" today, so high on Google.
Speaking of "creative", I had an unpleasant experience. I have their soundcard products, the Sound Blaster 5.1. This soundcard is powerful if executed with Windows Xp. So, it's not wrong if Sound Blaster has a big name in the field of Sound Card, and the company became famous because of it.
The problem then comes when my computer was damaged. Operating system crashes I experienced many times before I decided to format the hard drive and install a new operating system.
Do you know what happens next? I installed the new operating system that is Windows 7 on my computer and it turns out the Sound Blaster 5.1 does not work in Windows 7. Windows cannot even recognize and find a sound card installed. The driver CD included in the package cannot do anything about it. Watta ..
Then I went to Creative's website to get the latest drivers. I use the search box to find the right driver, but I do not find anything. In the list, they only support a few of their product from hundreds of types they already sell in the market. The product which is not in listings, they say no longer supported by releasing the latest drivers. What? What does it mean?
Obviously, I would not be able to run it in Windows 7 without the new drivers. If I cannot find the driver, means I have to replace operating system that had just finished installing, with older operating systems ie windows xp.
Before doing that, I was googling to find whether there are other people who have problems like me and how the way out. Apparently many other people are having trouble finding the latest drivers after they replace the operating system. The company is really close to this problem, and if they do not feel embarrassed if it turns out other people outside the Creative Company or a third party who makes diver for their soundcards products?
According to several people on the forums, Creative does not support old products with the latest drivers is a matter of mere business.
Whatever it is, as a bona fide company with markets around the world, does it deserve to develop business without a support for their previous products? So what to do with the Soundcards which we already purchased if no longer used considering we spend some money to buy it? Do we have to replace the soundcard every change the operating system? This is a waste!
Hopefully this post is useful for someone who has problems like me, and hopefully the company knows, they could consider this issue, and would support their old products with the latest drivers.

New Delhi: HRD Minister Smriti Irani today asked states to prepare an action plan for construction of toilets for girls in all government schools by July next year in keeping with the goal set up Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
In his Independence Day speech, Modi had said that all schools should construct separate toilets for girl students within a year.
Laying emphasis on girls education and creation of enabling environment for them to come to school and complete their education, Irani said quality of teaching, which still remains a challenge, has to be improved.
Addressing the state education secretaries meet, she requested them to "prepare an action plan for construction of toilets in all government schools so that the vision and the goal set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Independence Day speech for providing all government schools with toilets within one year becomes a reality".
While Modi had called upon the corporate sector to join the government in this endeavour, the meeting today discussed a strategy to tap the corporate social responsibility fund and encourage individual corporates and institutions to build the toilets.
According to an analysis, "50 per cent of the schools without toilets are in the six states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal", Union School Education Secretary R Bhattacharya said.
"Those who are interested in contribution of funds, a separate modality is also being worked out by the government," he told reporters.
Irani, also underscored about the 'Sala Darpan' and 'Sala Utsav' programmes to bring back pride to the teaching profession and conduct of foundation day programmes in schools involving the community at large and felicitating teachers.
The minister, on the occasion, launched 'Padhe Bharat Badhe Bharat' programme focusing on early reading, writing and comprehension and early grade mathematics.
Bhattacharya said thrust was also laid on providing upper primary and primary schools in the neighbourhood as there are six per cent habitation in the country who do not have an upper primary school in the neighbourhood and two per cent habitation which do not have a primary school in the neighbourhood.
Enhanced focus was also laid on the "convergence" between school and higher education departments regarding teacher training programmes and about teacher educators, the secretary said.
In this regard, he said, revision of curriculum on teacher education was paramount as out of the 247 universities who have a department of education, only 69 have revised curriculum for teacher education.
The meeting was also attended by higher education secretary and the the heads of UGC, AICTE, NCTE.
The HRD Minister also launched a publication 'including children with special needs—primary stage' on curriculum adaptation development brought out by NCERT to help teachers create an inclusive classroom environment for children with special needs.
Besides, she launched the Rashtriya Madhyamik Siksha Abhijan for wide public awareness of the programme.

As winter turns to spring, The Observer finds again the urge to get our fishing pole and tackle box, dig some worms out in the backyard, and go fishing. We surely need that calm stillness in our life right now, with the world seeming to slouch toward chaos day-by-day and at times hour-by-hour. Fishing, thank God, is the same as it ever was: the bobbing cork and cast line, the hook and bait, enticing fishes who troll the dappled, hidden depths of the Good Lord's waters. It's a hassle to get there: boat and tackle and untangling the fishing pole or cutting that long stick of breakwater cane like granddaddy did, maybe, then heading off to Wally World for bobbers and a fishing license so we don't get picked up by The Man, but we'll be damned if we don't miss it sometimes.
It is, as we said, the stillness of it that's appealing in times like these — the silent focus, waiting for that tug that may come now or never, a kind of meditation in and of itself, the mind caught on its own hook, unable to wander far enough inward that the bobber recedes to a blur on the water, but unwilling to occupy itself with anything else other than what might or might not come, the fishy spot sought out, the bait cast just perfectly between tangling cypress and muddy bank, the feeling when you know you're in the sweetness, then the rush of anticipation when the cork shivers once, twice, touched by invisible lives below the mirror surface of the deep. Don't ever let anybody talk bad about your relatives who head off to fish on warm Sundays instead of suiting up and going to church. The Observer has come to believe that fishing is its own, wholly valid religious experience, given that it is a moment when a mortal human being, takes time from this very finite life to cast the line and hook, so like a question mark, then wait still and quiet and faithful that The Great Hidden Fish might choose this moment to reveal himself or herself or itself.
It was The Observer's dearly departed Pa who taught Yours Truly how to fish, to tie the sturdy knot through the eye of a hook, to make the sacrifice of a cricket, worm or minnow. Pa loved the lake so much that when Yours Truly was a lad, he and Ma saved their pennies to buy a muddy, oddly shaped lot at Lake Conway. It was mostly vines and thorny brambles, so thick that Pa had to hack his way through with an Army surplus machete to even see the water after the papers were signed. But within a few years, he had a house on the land, a clear view of the lake, a meandering path through the cottonwoods to the water; a hundred-foot dock, lined with bell-shaped lights that could be turned on from the house with the flick of a switch. The Observer's boyhood is very much swirled in together with that place, which was sold off just after Yours Truly turned 12 for reasons we're still not clear about.
The house had a long, screened sleeping porch, and at night in the summer The Boy Observer and assorted, sunburnt kinfolks would try to find sweltering sleep there, listening to the calls of strange, nightwise birds, seeing the scarce glimmer of lights on the far shore the only sign that other human beings existed in the world. The fool we were then didn't care much for the place, with its mosquitoes and coiled water moccassins and fish gut smells. The only entertainment in the place, by Pa's design, was a single black and white TV whose screen could have been easily covered by a cereal box — that and the lake, of course — so we remember being very bored there from time to time when the fish weren't biting, or it was raining, or the sun burned down too hot to fish. But we can tell you this: We miss that place fiercely still, dream about it, consider it in traffic to this day when we're in a mood to think on the life and legacy of Pa, gone 16 years now. The Observer would give damn near anything to be back there now, watching a cork bob in the saw-toothed shade of the cypress just left of the dock, elbows on the rail, waiting patiently for the nibble that revealed the riot of life just below the surface.

As the seasons change, so do our appetites. Warm, comforting, heavier foods keeps us well during the cold winter months, and we thank them for it. Now, summer is around the corner, and it's time to lighten things up. Many people find they eat less during the summer, but if you're one of those lucky people who always has room for dessert, read on!
This tart pairs up perfectly with any summer meal. The bulk of the crust is made up of coconut flour and ground almonds. Although delicious, you'll find this dessert quite fulfilling and it won't leave you reaching for seconds to satisfy your sweet tooth. Although even if does, don't fret. The whole tart is sweetened with only 4 tablespoons of honey. So, treat yourself this summer with a crumbly crust filled with whipped coconut cream, lightly flavored with lemon and topped off with a sprinkle of shredded coconut. Serve it chilled from the fridge and refresh yourself!

Drafting is my favorite part of writing, hands down. I love feeling compelled by the story, the hope that a first draft brings ("This will be the one!"), finding out about your characters as you go, and watching your outline fall beautifully into place (or not! That can be fun too). I just wrote "The End" for the seventh time and I have to say, I'm kind of sad that the rough draft is finished. Because now, for me, comes the hard part.
First there's the waiting to hear back from your critique partners, wondering if they're going to love it or hate it or at the very least have some helpful feedback. Then there's the revising, which I've gotten better at thanks to NaNoReviMo, but I still don't love. It's difficult for me to change a story once I've imagined it a certain way. Of course, it's also the thing I need the most help with, which is where those betas and CPs come in. Which requires more waiting as you revise and send, revise and send, hopefully improving with each round.
And then, of course, comes the really hard part. The querying. I've been at this long enough not to get my hopes up with every request or let my day be ruined by every rejection, but it's still a nail-biting, hair-pulling process. Everyone always says to distract yourself with another project while you query, but querying can be a full-time job sometimes. Especially if you get any revise and resubmits while you're at it. And I find it mentally difficult to move on when I'm in the thick of it. This year, however, I already have another project waiting in the wings that I'm hoping will keep me distracted. I also want to revise my last novel that I never really queried. So we'll see.
Either way, I'm gonna miss the writing. It is, after all, why we do this.

Grand Theft Auto V, the blockbuster guns and gangsters video game that broke all kinds of sales records upon its release in 2013, is getting a souped up re-release.
The graphics will be nicely polished, there'll be improvements to the online modes and players will get to play the whole game in first person mode for the first time ever.
But is it really worth dropping another £50 on a game you probably already own?
Here's everything you need to know about the game's next generation update, and when you can get your hands s on it.
Will the graphics be improved in the new versions?
Yes, there'll be a major visual upgrade. The game will run at a 1080p resolution, at 30 frames per second. Terrain has been entirely overhauled to make it vastly more realistic, and there'll be improvements to lighting and water effects too.
Overall, it'll be a good deal prettier and shinier.
How about the game itself - anything new I can do?
There's no new single player missions - aside from those exclusive to players who've transferred a save game from a previous generation version, more of which later.
But the new package includes all the downloadable content that's been made available for GTA 5 so far, including new vehicles, weapons and updates.
I've heard there's going to be a first person mode
There is, and it looks amazing.
Players will be able to switch to first person mode both on foot and while driving - and it's a significant difference to how the controls work and how the game plays.
It'll feel a lot more like a traditional first person shooter - but there'll be customisable options to automatically switch between views in certain situations, such as entering cover.
Any changes to GTA Online?
The biggest change is that the player cap will see a bump. The online mode will now support up to 30 players on next-generation platforms.
Also, players will be delighted to see a bunch of classic GTA vehicles return to the online arena.
Is there going to be a PC version as well?
There is, but the PC version isn't out until January 27, 2015.
Rockstar Games say the delay is because they needed a little time to make it as awesome as they can.
The firm said on their website: "The game requires a little more development time in order to ensure that it's as amazing and polished as possible."
Do I get anything special for upgrading from the PS3 or Xbox 360 version?
You certainly do. There's a bunch of new weapons and vehicles that'll be available only to players who transfer their save files from previous generation versions.
These include the classic seaplane, the Dodo and an experimental rail-gun.
There's also a few new exclusive missions - including a gritty, film noir-style murder mystery.
There'll also be new stock car races to enjoy, and a new collection challenge - if Franklin uses a camera to photograph all the new Animals in Los Santos, it'll unlock a new underwater vehicle - the Kraken Sub.
You also get a bunch of free in-game cash.
When can I get my hands on it?
GTA V will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from November 18, 2014. The PC version is out January 27, 2015.

Use Best Online Tutoring Homework and Course Help to Succeed in Exams
Since times immemorial people from across the globe prefer good education for a better professional career. This prompted parents to send their kids to various schools and colleges so that they can receive proper education and be established in their life. Earlier there existed very few seats of learning and as such there was an immense competition among the students then. Very few pupils succeeded in completing their education in those days.
Then education was not restricted to schools, colleges and universities alone, but was available outside academic campuses, especially in the residences of teachers, faculty members of colleges and universities and also various other offline coaching centers. In those days there existed very few qualified professional tutors and therefore their classes in various residences and tutorials remained crowdy with less teacher student ratio, little infrastructure and all these factors played a crucial role in failing to educate properly every student who attended the classes.
In contemporary times, however things are very different as countries globally have adequate infrastructure as well as human resources for imparting the students quality education at affordable prices. In the USA, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait there are international schools, colleges and universities catering to the academic needs and requirements of students. These countries also have online coaching centers where pupils for better understanding of the different subjects included in the academic curriculum can avail quality education from reputed online faculty members. These tutorials maintain websites for business and interested pupils sign in to the sites to access quality academic material on various subjects included in the academic curriculum of different boards and universities.
These online tutorials have professional tutors in different subjects adept in employing scientific methods of study to teach the students. These teachers prepare academic content that aid students to comprehend the basics of different subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, Accountancy, etc. They also provide tutoring homework help to the students.
It has been observed that pupils getting online tuition from reputed tutorials have greater chances of scoring good grades in the examinations. Such tutorials never existed before the web was developed. Therefore the Internet is the most important tool to support the online tutoring business. Now it is possible for interested students to receive quality education online and from the comforts of their home.
The tutorials become famous because of their brilliant students who perform well in different board, university and other competitive examinations. Online tutoring is a lucrative business employing many qualified people as teachers. These teachers provide online course help to teach different subjects to the enrolled students. As the compensation package in these tutorials is lucrative, more and more educated youth prefer this as an excellent career prospect after their education.

Career services professionals came together Wednesday afternoon to talk about "the ultimate employer". Here are some tactics that they saw campus recruiters employ to successfully communicate with students:
- Promoting all the types of positions the company hires for. For example a software company may not just hire computer sciences majors but may also be aggressively trying to fill positions in sales, marketing or operations
- Develop tools to help career services convey the details about your program especially if you can't be on campus. Disney does this well with their "information session" video on YouTube
- Providing a timeline to students, i.e. you will hear back from us in one week
- Make sure the company representatives who are on-campus and/or the hiring managers know what your company's hiring processes and policies are so they are not unintentionally giving bad advice
- When a student is accepted to a on campus interview invite the student into a closed LinkedIn group and keep them in the loop about the process and continue communicating with these students to keep them engaged
- At career fairs or info sessions give to students a small handout detailing the next steps to take to apply to open positions within the company
Attendees – there will be a wrap up of this forum combined with a campus recruiting forum at this Friday's closing session The Ultimate Candidate Meets the Ideal Employer (Vendome).

Women in the WEA
When the WEA was founded 115 years ago working class women had few rights: they could not vote and faced enormous barriers to employment and achieving equal status in almost all areas of life. Educational opportunities for all women were extremely limited. Girls' secondary schools existed for those whose fathers were prepared to pay and a few women's colleges provided secondary and further education. Technical colleges offered vocational training, mainly to men and boys.
