Examination Contingency Day
JCQ and Ofqual require schools to set aside an examination contingency day. The following is an extract from Ofqual's web page:
'The 2019 timetable has a new feature – a contingency day on 26 June 2019. This will be used if a significant, unexpected event arises nationally or locally during the exam period such that no students (or a large number of them) are able to take an exam when planned. Of course, we all hope there won't be such disruption and that the contingency day won't be needed. But students should be available throughout the exam period, including on that day, in case their planned timetable is disrupted.'
Please make sure that no holidays are booked for this date. Your daughter or son must be available and able to come to school at the usual time for examinations on that date in case any emergency leads to a public examination being disrupted.
This is a national requirement and cannot be changed. We are also informing all students of this.

Product is good and can fit in things i want thanks
The tube came was only bundled into the delivery envelope. There was no proper packing.
Seller gave a very long tube!! And its cheap! Will order again in the future.
Good delivery fast ,come with good packing
As usual, pleasant experience collecting from friendly staff. Although official opening hours start at 9.30am, reached outlet at about 9 am and was readily attended to. This 3.2mm diameter heat-shrink tube is rather slim, only the size of smartphone charging cable. The 4.8mm one might be more useful.more review
[Re] Inquiry for the item from Jos****
the tubing is not big enough to go through the ear piece.thanks
[Re] Inquiry for the item from dev****
Hi,Can send us a photo?
[Re] Samsung charger cable
Hi, can't fit through the USB part unless you cut out the USB part and fit through just the cables. If just cables 3.8mm should do.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi, for iPhone cable you can use 3.2mm. Thank you.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi,I would like to get the 3.2mm tube to try out but its not really economical to pay for QXpress for a $0.50 item.Can I select the self collection method and you have it mail to me? I will transfer the postage to you directly to your bank account instead.Is it possible?
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi,Thanks for pointing it out. I have added in an option to be sent via SingPost normal mail at $1.30.Thank you.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi,I have ordered 2 x 3.2mm tube.Each tube is 1m long?
[Re] IPhone Cable
Saw the order. Will send out by end of today. Yes, each tube is 1m long.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi,I have received the 2 cables. However, it does not seem to be able to fix into the iphone cable... Is there an instruction how to do it ...
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi, it should be able to fit nicely. There's no instruction on how to fix it. Just slot in the wiring cables.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Hi,There is no way the tube can slide pass the connector head.Either the tube advised is too small or it was the wrong tube send.Please see attached.
[Re] IPhone Cable
Replied on Qtalk.
[Re] IPhone Cable
How? I have installed QTalk but I didn't get any message from you.
[Re] IPhone Cable

Hi, $0.50 for 1 metre.

SQ21: Singapore Queers in the 21st century (Math Paper Press, 2018)
First published in 2006, the groundbreaking collection of coming out stories was the first affirming non-fiction volume accompanied by real names and faces. Written in light, clear prose, SQ21 shows an unabashed straightforward honesty and finds inspiration in the lives of these ordinary Singaporean. After almost 12 years since it was first published, the reprint is now available from BooksActually and through its online store.
SQ21: Singapore Queers in the 21st century (Oogachaga, 2006)
What is it like for men and women to grow up here, to come out their families, to find love and work and meaning? What are their stories? For the first time in Singapore, a book answers these questions, showing our true faces and celebrating our lives as individuals.
Oogachaga's first venture into publishing in 2006, the collection of 15 deeply personal stories were told in a light, readable style. The first of its kind in Asia, the booked has touched the hearts of young and old, single or in love, Singaporean and otherwise.
This project would not have been possible without the contributions of the author Ng Yi-Sheng, editor Jason Wee, photographer Alphonsus Lee, book designers Cyrus Ho and Kelvin Ng and interviewees, who all volunteered their services free of charge. We thank Mox Bar & Cafe and Borders for providing the venues for the launch of this historic book.
It was reviewed by The Sunday Times, and won acclaim when The Straits Times named it the best non-fiction book of 2006. All copies were sold out soon after.
"The book, which features the interviewees' full names and photographs, is the first project of its kind in the city-state where gay sex acts are still criminalised under Section 377 of the Singapore Penal Code inherited from British colonial rule. ..." Fridae, 20 August 2006

From George Washington to Edmund Randolph, 11 October 1794
To Edmund Randolph
Carlisle [Pa.]
11th Octr 1794. past 3 Oclock p.m.
Dear Sir,
When I wrote to you yesterday,1 I did not expect to be in this village at this hour. But finding it difficult to get even part of the Troops off, that were ordered to March yesterday, I resolved to see the residue in motion to day before I left this place, myself. This dilatoriness does not proceed from any disinclination in the Troops themselves, to proceed; but for want of arrangement, and system in some of the principal characters among the officers of this State, and the disjointed manner in which the former have arrived here. Those however which marched yesterday—with what has followd to day—will make a respectable corps. An Officer of respectability will be left to Organize the remaining detachments of this State's Troops as they shall arrive, & to forward them on. The Jersey Troops came on in Compl. Corps but are bad clothed.
I had scarcely dispatched my letter to you yesterday, when the Commissioners or deputies—(Findley & Redick) from the Insurgent Counties arrived2 My Public letter, written by Colo. Hamilton will inform you of the result—I believe they are scared.3
All the Papers which may be deemed necessary & proper to accompany my address to Congress, at the opening of the Session, I pray you to have ready; for there will not be time to do it between my arrival in the City & the meeting of that body. From present appearances—It is not likely I shall proceed beyond Bed⟨ford⟩ & my return to Philadelphia even i[n]4 that case can be but a day or two before the first monday in next month.5 Sincerely & Affectionately I am Yours
Go: Washington
ADfS, DLC:GW; LB, DLC:GW.
1. GW probably was referring to his letter to Randolph of 9 October. No letter to Randolph of 10 Oct. has been found.
2. GW originally continued with the following text at this point: "arrived with the resolves of the meeting at Parkinsons ferry on the 2d instant; and their ideas of the sentiments of the people in the four Western Counties of this State. From which it is very evident they are not a little panic struck and now are or soon will be ready to do any thing and every thing that is required of them—But it is to be feared that all those of whom fit examples could be made will have left the Country; as they are disposing of their property at any rate and many have actually (according to their accts) fled." However, after revising the second sentence to read, "From which it is very evident they are not a little panic struck but not yet come to thr proper sens⟨es⟩ this I hope will soon happen & that they will be ready to do any thing and every thing that is required of them" and making minor changes in the third sentence, he struck that text and substituted the remainder of this paragraph.
3. The "public letter" has not been identified. For more extensive discussion of GW's meetings with these delegates, see the entry for 6–12 Oct. in GW's diary (Diaries description begins Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig, eds. The Diaries of George Washington. 6 vols. Charlottesville, Va., 1976–79. description ends , 6:183–86) and Findley, History of the Insurrection description begins William Findley. History of the Insurrection, in the Four Western Counties of Pennsylvania: In the Year M.DCC.XCIV. With a Recital of the Circumstances Specially Connected Therewith: and an Historical Review of the Previous Situation of the Country. Philadelphia, 1796. description ends , 169–89.
4. GW wrote "it."
5. The first Monday in November 1794 was 3 November.


text: Bomassa loves to eat, and it shows! I am told that he is the easier brother to train. When the gorillas are learning their routines, they get treats in return. For example the keepers might need for Bomassa to turn his ear towards them, which would be useful, for example, if they need to check for infection. If he turns the ear, he gets a bite of kiwi, one of his favorites. Apollo gets the same opportunity, but is less interested in food, so he is not making quite so much progress with his training.

Friends, I have introduced you to The Morah before. She is my favorite person whom I neither birthed nor married, and this is the furthest from hyperbole as I can possibly get. I can't overstate how much I love this lady. The best I can do is illustrate it with a conversation I once had with Uncle Damon about her:
UD: If you were stuck on a desert island for the rest of your life, who would you want with you?
ME: No one. (Like that misanthropy? It's part of my charm.)
UD: Could I be there?
ME: No way. You drive me nuts too often.
UD: What about The Morah?
ME: Oh! Yeah! That'd be great! I love The Morah! It'd be awesome!
UD: What about SLB?
ME: Maybe.
Yeah. It's like that. And it's even better when it's like this (notes from a visit the weekend before last):
*We shopped and bought almost everything on my clothing list in under an hour and a half, which combines my three loves: The Morah, having what I need, and not spending tons of time wandering a mall. Brilliant!
*We had Groupon deals at Spa Willamina for massages, dry body brushings, and facials. The spa, the services, and the practitioners are flawless. I highly recommend it to people in Portland looking for a friendly, warm place to be rubbed into submission by strangers.
*We ate beautiful wood-fire oven-cooked pizzas at Lovely's 50-50 and followed up with housemade butterscotch ice cream. It was wonderfully delicious and exactly what we needed after an afternoon of virtuous spa high-mindedness. Without the substantial rib-sticking goodness of rustic pizzas and churned yolks and cream we might have floated away on a blissful bodywork cloud.
O.K., so it's NOT an excellent picture, but that is an excellent pizza. Sauteed kale and chard with a silken yolky egg on top. Pictures and words can't do it justice.
*A leisurely morning spent reading/internetting/staring into space in bed together with her dog, Ollie. Her husband, the beatifically lovely Marc (seriously - I've never met a better hugger), was out of town, so we snuggled lazily under the covers with Ollie between us.
*Finally, for me a trip to the specialty lingerie shop for a few sturdy undergarments in a size "WTF???" Tiny rib cage + mom boobs = a trip to Just Like a Woman for expensive, perfectly fitted bras. The service is expert and kind, and the selection is incredible. If you've got outlandish hoots like I've got outlandish hoots, I strongly recommend that you save up for a trip to Just Like a Woman.
My friend Jen calls them Circus Tits. Just look at the baby or the dog if this makes you uncomfortable.
But all was not paradise on this trip. We, in fact, weathered some BIG! DRAMA! with the strength and grace of a grieving Jacqueline Kennedy. Let me explain.
See, The Morah is one of those hip urban farmers you keep reading about. She keeps chickens in a well appointed coop in her side yard, and the coop opens up into the backyard where the chickens can run about at will. She had just introduced three new young ladies to the flook of old friends, which apparently can be a risky proposition. She explained to me that "pecking order" and a "pecking party" are NOT always metaphors to be pondered from behind the safety of a book. They in fact EXIST in the chicken world, and one of the old gals was experiencing them strongly when the new babies invaded her flock. And when we were at the spa unaware of the conflict brewing at home, the older chicken chased one of the babies into the yard, which the baby then escaped in her panic. We had a missing chicken on our hands, night was falling, it was raining, and the mean streets of Portland (dogs, cars, and raccoons, OH MY!) are not a hospitable place for a young pullet to bed down.
So, after a mild Morah freak-out (She has feelings that she, you know, feels. What must that be like?) she organized a search party of friends and neighbors. We combed the streets and alleys around her house clucking "Here, chick chick chick!" softly as we tried to find the missing baby. No luck. After some strong self-talk about the expendableness of livestock, signs hung crying "Missing Chicken!," a post on Craigslist, and a call to animal control, by the next morning we had both given up hope. Chickens come, and chickens go, we thought. Best to move on.
Which, Hallmark movie-style, is exactly when a miracle occurred. Her amazingly generous neighbor, out looking again for the chicken on his own in the morning, saw a big crow across his lawn. Upon further inspection he found that it was not a big crow, but a small chicken! A small, lost, lonely chicken! He returned it to The Morah, who cried tears of relief and tenderly hugged the chicken to her maternal bosom. She was saved! We were relieved and amazed to find it so, but, yes! She was saved!
Reunited, and it feels so good!
So, with a warm and fuzzy feeling in my now properly holstered chest, I drove home. As I was flipping radio stations, I heard the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and stopped to listen. Usually I like this song a lot. After all, I've sung it to so many pouting students over the years that I have a pretty close relationship with it and its message. But all it did on my sunny, smiley drive was piss me off.
Because no, you can't always get what you want. Clearly. Naturally. I think only children and spoiled childlike adults need that message delivered via catchy tunes featuring children's choirs. But is the best we should be aiming for really trying sometimes and just might finding that we get what we need? Yes, it's true that this does happen. But is it worth glorifying? Because sometimes you find exactly what you're looking for in record time. And sometimes you're lucky enough to get a perfect afternoon at the spa. And sometimes your dinner is exactly what you wanted exactly when you wanted it. And sometimes you're blessed with the financial security to afford such luxuries in a time of recession.
And sometimes you have the best friend in the world, someone who makes you seriously consider that there might be truth in the gag-inducing epithet "soul-mate." And sometimes you're still so in love with your partner of 13 years that you get butterflies when he grabs your hand upon your arrival home from a weekend away. And sometimes you get through a difficult pregnancy and labor to have a healthy, happy, giggling girl who makes you radically redefine love and your capacity to give it. And sometimes, people, sometimes your chicken comes back.
I am not a religious person, but I do love the idea of miracles. And it seems to me that they happen every day. So, no, you can't always get what you want. BUT SOMETIMES YOU CAN, and what a better song to sing - a song of hope and gratitude for the good in the world - than one that glorifies the possibility of mere subsistence. Maybe it depends on luck, and certainly it depends on what you want, but I'm going to be happy to have what I have - to have what I want - while I have it.

( dpa ) - British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is due to have talks in London Tuesday with key European leaders to discuss reforms in the global economy following the recent turmoil and the challenge of climate change, officials said.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Premier Romano Prodi and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barrosso will gather at Downing Street for the talks later Tuesday.
Brown's spokesman said the leaders would discuss "issues such as transparency surrounding off-balance-sheet risks faced by banks, issues such as cross-border co-operation and management of financial crises".
The discussions would be wide-ranging and focus primarily on the economy and financial markets.

It had been two years since I had birded in Villanueva State Park, one of the sites featured in Birding Hot Spots of Santa Fe, Taos and Northern New Mexico and was looking forward to leading the Thursday Birders there.
I decided to scout the route a couple of days ahead of time with my friend Annmarie.
Barbara Hussey and I had written in the site description for Villanueva State Park that Cassin's Sparrows can be found 1 mile north of I-40; however, I needed to find a place where multiple cars could pull off onto the shoulder, which turned out to be 3 miles north. When Annmarie and I pulled over, a herd of cows in a nearby field were curious what we were doing.
We could hear Cassin's Sparrows and located them as they sang and skylarked some distance from the road. Their melodious trill echoed in the cool summer morning. The Thursday Birders were luckier – there was one that repeatedly displayed from the top of a juniper near the road,
And even landed a few times on the fence line.
During our 30 minute stop, we also saw Lark Sparrow, Horned Lark, Northern Mockingbird and Western Meadowlark.
Our next stop was at the bridge over the Pecos River just south of the village of Villanueva. Our target bird was Eastern Phoebe, one of the locations where this species regularly nests in New Mexico. We managed to see three of them. I captured this photo on our scouting day after it returned from bathing in the river and was arranging its feathers.
While Black-billed Magpie is fairly common a short distance north of Villanueva, I have never seen one at this location before, so was surprised to see one briefly land on the bridge railing while scouting and fly into a nearby tree with the group.
Yellow-breasted Chats vocalized from the willows along the river, and a couple of Ash-throated Flycatchers were present. The Cliff Swallows, that nest under the bridge had finished nesting.
"Let's walk down the road and see what might be in the field," I suggested. It turned out to be productive. We added Black Phoebe, Western Bluebird and Ladder-backed Woodpecker to our sightings list.
When we arrived at the state park, we immediately started searching for birds along the river. We can usually find a Western Wood-Pewee nest in that vicinity. We watched a pewee perch for insects along the river and fly into the trees, but could never find a nest.
We were lucky to see a Bullock's Oriole enter its pendulous nest, evidently bringing food to chicks inside.
It was definitely a time for birds sitting on nests and feeding their young. Next to the camp host's site we located a Western Wood-Pewee sitting on the nest, barely visible on the fork of a branch and resembling an over-sized hummingbird nest. As we watched, she left the nest, flew to a nearby branch to fly catch for insects. Since the female does all of the incubating, she has no alternative but to leave periodically.
A Western Kingbird was sitting on the nest across from the Visitor Center.
While the female does all of the incubating, the male keeps a watch by frequently perching nearby.
We walked out on the bridge over the river
where we could hear more Yellow-breasted Chats,
Yellow Warblers and Lesser Goldfinches.
"Listen," Barbara alerted the group, and we were treated to the cascading song of a Canyon Wren.
While we were eating lunch, a bright red bird shot from the hillside and landed in a nearby cottonwood. "Summer Tanager," someone called. I was pretty sure that it was a Hepatic Tanager but needed to see the bill. By time I reached the tree where it had landed, it had darted into another tree; however, I was able to see its dark bill before it settled into the foliage.
"It's a Hepatic Tanager," I told the group when I returned to the picnic table.
"Behind us," Annmarie had motioned on our scouting day as we were eating. I turned slowly around to find a recently fledged Black-headed Grosbeak pecking in the nearby grass.
A Black-headed Grosbeak also visited the Thursday Birder lunch bunch.
On our scouting day, Annmarie and I had seen a pair of Northern Flickers fly back and forth from a tree while we were eating lunch. We were sure there must be a nest, but we couldn't see the hole. After eating, we looked on the other side of the tree and discovered the perfectly round flicker hole. As we watched a juvenile poked its head out briefly looking for a parent to bring food.
I showed our birding group the hole and after lunch, the photographers in the group huddled around the tree enjoying the antics when a parent returned and all three heads emerged hungrily.
It had been a wonderful morning. After going over the checklist we had seen over 40 species!

Update: The first official Red Dead Redemption gameplay trailer is here!
Rockstar Games will showcase gameplay for Red Dead Redemption 2 for the first time this Thursday, August 9. While the highly anticipated open world Western game has had a few cinematic and story trailers released, this will be the first official reveal for some proper gameplay.
Red Dead Redemption 2 acts as a prequel to last generation's Red Dead Redemption, which itself was a spiritual successor to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox game Red Dead Revolver. The story of the game will take place in the year 1899, with players filling the shoes of Arthur Morgan. This protagonist is a member of the Van der Linde gang, which was depicted in the first Red Dead Redemption game with former gang member John Marston, who will appear in the sequel.

Rockstar announced the news, but did not reveal any specifics on what kind of gameplay would be shown. The gameplay reveal will be on Rockstar's official website and their official YouTube channel on Thursday, August 9, 11:00 am EST. As trailers for the game thus far have focused on the single-player story portion of the game, it is likely this gameplay reveal will clarify details on the mechanics of the game. The previous Red Dead game featured a morality system known as "Honor," where your actions as the player would affect your reputation. The previous Red Dead games also utilized a system called "Dead Eye," which was a bullet time effect for duels against non-playable characters.
But what is more likely is that Rockstar will detail the online aspect of Red Dead Redemption 2. Seeing how the developer has supported Grand Theft Auto Online, currently the company's primary money-maker, since its release in 2013, it would be obvious that Rockstar would take the same approach with the Red Dead series. GTA Online contains features such as missions, heists, races, and personal spaces, all of which could translate well to the Red Dead universe. Seeing how a train heist was depicted in one of the Red Dead Redemption 2 trailers, heists would be a perfect fit for the Western crime game.
Hype for Red Dead Redemption 2 is as high as ever, with the project being the first full game from Rockstar Games since Grand Theft Auto V. With the developer's focus on multiplayer for the past few years, players must surely be curious about what the company has in store for their next single-player story.

(Online Desk)
Seeking to fulfil the poll promise of the BJP, the Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal to hike Minimum Support Price (MSP) by 50 per cent for 14 crops for the Kharif sowing season.
Announcing the Cabinet decision, Union Minister for Home Affairs Rajnath Singh said that the Wednesday decision is not an ordinary one as he had never imagined that a government could give such a hike in one go.
The paddy has been given a hike of Rs 200 per quintal, with the government stating that the decision translated to 50 per cent increase to the input cost determined by the Commission for agricultural costs and prices ( CACP). The input cost is inclusive of the family labour cost, added Singh.
Incidentally, the MSP for the 2017-18 Kharif season was Rs 1550 per quintal which has now been enhanced to Rs 1750 per quintal.
Singh also stated that the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has also approved the proposal to pay the farmers price difference between the MSP and market in the event of the procurement agencies failing to procure crops.
"This will translate into Rs 6000-8000 per acre gain for the farmers," said Singh, who added that the decision would have a positive impact on the economy with the help of the purchasing powers of the people in the rural areas getting a significant boost.
The highest increase in the MSP has been for Bajra which will now fetch Rs 1950 per quintal against Rs 1425 last Kharif season.
Kharif crops including Jowar, Ragi, maize, Tur, Moong, Urad, Groundnut, Sunflower seed, soya bean, Sesamum, Nigerseed, and Cotton have also been given around 50 per cent hike in the MSP for the 2018-19 Kharif season.
The CACP, while determining the input cost for crops, has factored in costs on account of hired labour, bullock and machinery costs, rent paid on lease, expenses on inputs like seeds, fertiliser, manures, irrigation, depreciation on implements and imputed value for family labour.
The Congress managers felt the government's move to hike MSP of Kharif crops was a desperate attempt to placate the agitating farmers and saw it as a hint that the 2019 national polls may be advanced by a few months.
"This is a move to please the farmers which they knew were unhappy with the BJP. The centre will try to derive political mileage from the misleading announcement by advancing the Lok Sabha polls to February next year," said a Congress insider.

MTC Technologies is to provide composite materials for the C-17 aircraft and other Department of Defence Weapon Systems
As the prime contractor, MTC will establish a Composite Clearinghouse at its division in Warner Robins, Georgia. The clearinghouse will serve as a central supply source to effectively and efficiently facilitate requisition and delivery of designated composite materials to support field-level maintenance of C-17 aircraft, as well as to supply composite materials for other weapon systems and military services when requested.
MTC, in establishing, maintaining, and operating its clearinghouse, will bring to bear its broad-based technical and logistical experience in supplier research to target and meet the needs of multiple DoD customers. MTC plans to combine the purchasing power of these multiple customers to achieve quantity discounts and guarantee best value materials and service to each of them.
David Gutridge, MTC's Chief Executive Officer, stated, ""With this award, MTC will become the focal point for ALC composite material orders, transaction receipts, and customer coordination. We plan to use our ISO 9001 process design to flow requirements to our subcontractors and provide seamless visibility to our customers 24 hours a day. In keeping with MTC's quality approach to inventory management, we will continually survey the needs of each customer and refresh our supplier capability to satisfy particular requirements.

The poster says that Baby Driver is the coolest movie of the summer. I don't know that that aspiration is king size but in my view it fails to achieve even those unlofty heights.
It is QUITE cool but it's reliance on music as a key plot device requires the music to be cool as…
It isn't.
The anchor song, Queen's Brighton Rock, isn't even Queen's coolest song. Not by a long way.
The title credits, where our hero (Baby) walks the streets of Atlanta to the sound of Harlem Shuffle is clever as the lyrics pop up as street graffiti, shop names and so on but it's trying soooo hard.
The car chases are invariably high quality but I felt some of the casting was a bit gash. Love interest, Lily James, doesn't cut the mustard and Baby (Ansel Elgort) created no real empathy.
But the biggest crime is the OST.
Come on guys you could have done better than that.
Apart from Hocus Pocus by Focus and Egyptian Reggae by Jonathan Richman it was just kind of meh! It ain't no Tarantino soundtrack.
Now THAT's cool.
Jamie Foxx is largely unintelligible. But John Hamm and Kevin Spacey put in good, professional efforts.
This movie aspires to coolness, but it left me a little cold.

Spidey's BLACK CAT Pounces Into Her Own Mini-Series
By Vaneta Rogers
In June, Spider-Man fans get to catch a thief as Jen Van Meter brings her unique brand of "heist storytelling" to the new four-issue mini-series Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat.
The comic will be a tie-in to the Kraven-focused Grim Hunt storyline that will be taking place in Amazing Spider-Man at the same time.
Telling a story called "The Trophy Hunters," the Black Cat series will introduce Black Cat's "crew" while exploring why Felicia loves being a thief. With pencils by Javier Pulido, the first issue will have a cover by Amanda Conner with a variant cover by J. Scott Campbell, and will kick off a story that guest stars Spidey himself and the diabolical Kraven family.
Newsarama talked with Van Meter about the mini-series and why she specifically asked to write a story about Black Cat.
Newsarama: Jen, was this Black Cat story something you wanted to do, or something Marvel asked you to do?
Jen Van Meter: It's sort of both. Steve Wacker and I talk fairly frequently about the possibility of working together again, because we've enjoyed it in the past. And awhile back, I had told him that if there's ever anything that comes up with Black Cat, I would be really interested. So he contacted me awhile back and asked if I'd be interested in a Black Cat mini. I was!
In the last couple months, Leverage has become one of our favorite shows to watch with our kids. And so I was really excited about getting to do a story about a thief because I'm really enjoying that structure of story, and I've always really liked heist stories anyway.
So I had a couple of ideas of things I wanted to do with her. But I liked the idea of her having to defend her reputation as an excellent thief, and someone putting her reputation in jeopardy. And Steve told me that, since it's coming out next to some other stuff that was going on with Spider-Man, I saw a connection that seemed really useful to me as a storyteller. And he thought it was great. So we've been building it from there.
Nrama: You mentioned that, before it was even available, you told Steve you'd specifically like to do a story about Black Cat. Why this character in particular?
Van Meter: She's one of the few Marvel female characters that I know a good deal about, and I like how she's been written as this sort of feisty breeze that blows through Spider-Man's life. I like her, but she's always seen through his eyes, in my experience of her. I rarely see her written outside his point of view, so the idea of writing from her own point of view and casting her as the center of her own story seemed like something I'd enjoy doing.
Nrama: You mentioned Leverage and being a fan of that show. I know a lot of the heists on that show are done by a team. Is Black Cat going to be working with a group in this comic, or will she be going solo like we've seen in the past?
Van Meter: She is a solo thief. She goes in alone. I think that's part of who she is. But you can't ask me to write anything and leave out family for very long. It's one of the things I've gone back to. And in her case, her support staff is her family. So we'll meet the guy who does a lot of her information gathering. We'll meet the sisters who make a lot of her gear and costuming for her. They're a part of her story and a part of her life. And I wanted to do that, especially after I saw that other writers are showing her as someone who has a day job now and is busy. It struck me that somebody who might once have said she could do all of this on her own, the more technology becomes a part of security over the course of her life, and the busier she gets as Felicia, the more she's going to need other people as resources to get the job done.
I enjoy locating people in the communities where they already exist. I think you get to see characters from different points of view and see different aspects of them when you see them next to people they trust and relate to in a different way.
Nrama: What's the premise for the story?
Van Meter: We're going to meet her, finding out that somebody is framing her, making it look as if she's been doing some jobs that she has not been doing. There are many problems with this for her, but one of them is that the person doing these heists and pretending to be her is doing them badly. So she hates that. And her crew resents it, because it doesn't make them look good.
So she has to go find out who's setting her up and why. But there will be multiple heists over the course of the story. And we're going to get to see a little bit about where she comes from. I'm not going all the way back to origin stuff, but there will be things that surround her origin.
And my goal with all of this is to tell a really fun and exciting story about her, from her perspective, and explore a little bit about why she does what she does. I know that you can read a character bio that says she steals because her father was a great thief, and that she's trying to impress her mom.
I'm more interested in how it resonates with her emotionally when she's doing it. I think that, as much as she enjoys an occasional hook-up with Spider-Man, one of the things that makes her able to look at someone she's compatible with and say, "Yeah, this is pretty nice once in awhile, but that's all it is," is that for her, there is a relationship with the stuff she steals that surpasses any relationship she might have with someone like Spider-Man. As a thief, the planning of the job and the getting of the target is a profoundly emotional and passionate experience.
Nrama: How does Spider-Man get involved in the story?
Van Meter: I can't tell you a lot, except to say that she really wishes he wasn't. Part of the story is that she would very much prefer that he was nowhere near her for these four issues. And I don't want to go into too much detail about why, because there are things that might spoil other people's stories and things that would spoil my own.
Nrama: Are you familiar with Javier's work, and what do you think he'll bring to the story?
Van Meter: We had already plotted the story when Steve came back to me and said, "What would you think of having Javier coming on to do the art?" And I kind of nearly wet myself, because I love his work on Human Target. He's got a very noir, cinematic style. His stuff, to me, looks like an Italian crime film from 1972. There's a sharpness. I was really excited about the idea of it.
I had said something to Steve about taking Felicia and giving her a story that someone would give to Steve McQueen. And then putting Javier on the art amps up that feel for the story. And the other thing I love is that Javier does not draw women in the most conventional way for superhero art. And I think it give the whole story a different flavor, because while she's sexy when Javier draws her, it's not the same kind of sexy we normally see for Felicia. And I'm excited about that too, because I think it gives people a chance to see her as a different person.
Nrama: This ties into the Grim Hunt. Does that mean the Kravinoffs will be playing a role?
Van Meter: The mini-series is called the Trophy Hunters, and Felicia is one of them. And we know that big game hunters take trophies and put big heads on the walls and things like that. There is a connection. It's not a direct connection, but some of those characters are involved.
Nrama: For fans of your work, what else are you working on?
Van Meter: I've been doing the co-features in JSA All-Stars, and that's been a lot of fun. I've been doing the Liberty Belle and Hourman story since Issue #2. And again, I get to do something with costumed heroes who are in an unusual situation, because they're married. I pitched it as sort of Romancing the Stone, because it's an international adventure/quest with Tigress and Icicle. The reason I love those characters is because of a story I worked on with Steve Wacker.
And I'm working on more Hopeless Savages for Oni. And I just did a little story for an Oni book called Resurrection. I did a little 10-page tale for them that I had a lot of fun writing. It was much grimmer than what I usually do.
Nrama: Then just to finish up, Jen, now that you've had a chance to write Black Cat, what do you think of the character, and what are you hoping to accomplish in your portrayal of her?
Van Meter: I've discover how much fun she is to write, especially her dialogue. She doesn't have to talk like a good guy. And I enjoy writing villains. The more you give me villains and people who are in the gray area between hero and villain, I enjoy them so much because they can say outrageous things that straight-forward heroes can't say. They don't have to like everybody or be completely open-hearted and generous.
And I don't tend to work with women who are glamorous and flashy, so it's been interesting for me to work with that sort of female character. I also enjoy working with the nobility of the people you don't expect it from, and the dignity of people who start off seeming undignified. I think those contrasts are really interesting in story.
I don't think she's a simple character, and I think it's unfortunate when she seems simple. And I'm hoping what comes out of this is something that makes her more resonate.Amazing Spider-Man Presents: Black Cat begins June 2010

A comprehensive tax-sensitive plan can help reduce your tax burden
Fidelity has a number of ways to address taxes
Having a tax-sensitive1 plan in place is important—particularly if you have significant assets in taxable accounts.
Taxes can have a big impact on your investment returns at any stage of your investing life. According to Morningstar data, over the 90-year period ending in 2016, investors' annual returns were reduced, on average, by 1–2% due to taxes.2 While this might not sound like much, it could mean giving up thousands of dollars over the course of your lifetime.
Fidelity offers different ways that may help manage, defer, and reduce taxes on your investments
Although some taxes are unavoidable, there are things you can do to take control and potentially reduce their impact on your investments. At Fidelity, we help our clients evaluate their options and make investment choices that make sense for them.
When it comes to a client's actual investments, we offer professionally managed portfolios that apply a variety of tax-sensitive investment strategies to help our clients limit the impact of taxes on their investment returns.
The value of our tax-sensitive investment management over time
The impact of these tax savings cumulatively over a decade or more can be very significant, and it's evident that investing with a clear understanding of taxes matters. The above example shows that over 14 years, the potential additional value from tax-sensitive investment management was $310,444.3 To put this into context, a 2016 Fidelity study estimated that a couple retiring today at the age of 65 will need $260,000 to cover medical care costs throughout retirement.4
To create this value, our tax-sensitive investment management approach focuses on applying a variety of strategies throughout the investment process, including funding the account, ongoing management, and making withdrawals.
Tax-sensitive investment management techniques (including tax-loss harvesting) are applied on a limited basis, at the discretion of the portfolio manager, primarily with respect to determining when assets in a client's account should be bought or sold. With this discretionary investment management service, any assets contributed to an investor's account that the portfolio manager does not elect to retain may be sold at any time after contribution. An investor may have a gain or loss when assets are sold.

Federal income tax is calculated using the historical marginal and capital gains tax rates for a single taxpayer earning $120,000 in 2015 dollars every year. This annual income is adjusted using the Consumer Price Index in order to obtain the corresponding income level for each year. Income is taxed at the appropriate federal income tax rate as it occurs. When realized, capital gains are calculated assuming the appropriate capital gains rates. The holding period for capital gains tax calculation is assumed to be five years for stocks, while government bonds are held until replaced in the index. No state income taxes are included. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Generally, among asset classes, stocks are more volatile than bonds or short-term instruments. Government bonds and corporate bonds have more moderate short-term price fluctuations than stocks, but provide lower potential long-term returns. U.S. Treasury bills maintain a stable value if held to maturity, but returns are generally only slightly above the inflation rate. Although bonds generally present less short-term risk and volatility than stocks, bonds do entail interest rate risk (as interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa), issuer credit risk, and the risk of default, or the risk that an issuer will be unable to make income or principal payments. The effect of interest rate changes is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities. Additionally, bonds and short-term investments entail greater inflation risk, or the risk that the return of an investment will not keep up with increases in the prices of goods and services, than stocks.
Keep in mind that investing involves risk. The value of your investment will fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.

The University of Iowa's Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost oversees the recruitment and retention of a highly qualified student body and faculty, diverse in race, gender, and cultural background, and helps ensure a climate in which all faculty, staff, and students have the opportunity to succeed. During the 2016–2017 academic year, the office set forth five faculty diversity initiatives, two of which are recruitment/retention and professional advancement.
The Office of the Associate Provost for Faculty is championing several new efforts as part of the initiatives, which include:
- Central Midwest HERC (Higher Education Recruitment Consortium): A new collaboration among higher education and community partners to assist dual-career couples, recruit diverse applicant pools, build relationships across the state, realize membership discounts, and strengthen our professional development opportunities. For more information, visit www.hercjobs.org/central-midwest/.
- Membership in the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity: The UI is now an institutional member of the National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity (NCFDD), an independent faculty development center dedicated to supporting faculty. The university has a longstanding relationship with the scholar who heads the NCFDD, Kerry Ann Rockquemore. The NCFDD Institutional Membership offers numerous benefits to faculty members, including:
- Access to monthly tele-workshops and special guest expert workshops
- A subscription to NCFDD's monthly newsletter and a weekly update on a topic related to faculty productivity called the Monday Motivator
- Access to a private online networking forum, including access to moderated monthly writing challenges and the option of being matched with an online writing accountability partner
- Unconscious bias workshops and trainings: Programs such as Diversifying the Professoriate: Unconscious Bias and Practices to Advance Equity are now available for individuals serving on faculty search committees.
- Skills for facilitating "difficult dialogues" in the classroom: The Office of the Provost offers Challenging Conversations in the Classroom: Practical Strategies for Facilitating Robust, Inclusive, and Civil Debate, a seminar designed for faculty members by faculty, focusing on practical strategies for addressing charged topics that arise in the curriculum and spontaneously in discussion, including the roles of academic freedom and free speech and the implications of diverse social and political identities.

Health is a term that is constantly referenced in modern society. It's most basic definition is the state of being free from illness or injury, according to Merriam Webster, but it has become a very flexible adjective for describing a multiplicity of things: we can talk about healthy people, healthy animals, healthy relationships, governments that function in a healthy way etc. So what does health really mean? Going a step further, what does it mean to be a healthy person?
The World Health Organization, the UN's special agency on health, defines health as being a 'state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing not merely the absence of disease or infirmity'. If you think about it, this is a pretty loaded statement, and it goes far beyond simply being free from physical ailments. According to the WHO, being healthy means achieving a kind of harmony with all of the major factors in our lives: the social, physical, environmental, and psychological/spiritual. So how do we achieve the kind of health that the WHO promotes?
First, it is crucial to acknowledge that the WHO's definition of health in some ways mirrors Maslow's famous hierarchy of needs. You can only be as healthy as the environment around; if you are a Somalian refugee that has been affected by terrible famine, your primary health concern is meeting your physiological needs for survival, not worrying about whether you have the right fad diet, clothing brands, or if you are happy in your career. Those kinds of worries are luxuries. Plain and simple: Environmental/physiological health is the basis of achieving social and psychological/spiritual health. In this light, many of us living in the developed world seem to have lost our way—we take our physical health and environmental resources for granted, and instead of searching for healthy balance in our lives, we indulge in overeating and vices like cigarette smoking and drugs. So how do we get back on track and keep our health and wellness holistic and integrated? The answer is easy in theory and hard in practice: we make a choice to be healthy.
A lifestyle that keeps you physically, socially, and psychologically/spiritually healthy is about making the choice to be healthy and then building the habits that support that choice. Contrary to popular belief, we are in control of our feelings, desires, thoughts, and habits. If you want to be socially healthy, choose to surround yourself with loving, stable, and caring people. If you want to be physically healthy, do your best to stay active, eat right, and get enough sleep. If you want to be psychologically or spiritually healthy, take the time to learn your strengths and weaknesses as a person and work to bring your mind into a positive, loving, and happy place—however that manifests for you, whether through meditating, prayer, or a long walk in nature.
Health is difficult to define yet at the same time we all know what it means, because we can all sense when things are unhealthy. You may not have the power to control everything in your life—you can't control whether or not you will get cancer, you can't control whether or not you will be born into a dysfunctional family. But you do have the power to control how you will react to adversity and how you will pursue a healthy lifestyle built on healthy habits, and that is the key—we don't have to achieve perfection, but we can continuously pursue balance and happiness.

Customer Testimonials
Hi Maureen, You worked your wonders on me on the 16th of January 2013 for smoking and guess what? I haven't had a smoke or even felt like one! It is truly amazing after smoking for over 30 years I am no longer a slave to the smokes. I feel better (although I was a bit grumpy for a week or so) but that has passed, I can breathe better and my cough has gone. But food tastes so much better so I am trying to watch what I eat. I do get a craving every now and then and it goes as quick as it come…
Hi Maureen. Just a quick note to say thank you. I have not had even a puff of cigarette since our session on 10 May 14. Any desire or thought flits straight out again. This is certainly a much less painful way to stop smoking. I recommend you to anyone who is interested, even had someone ask about weight loss. Hope all is well for you. Regards
I am so glad I came too see Maureen to become a non smoker with hypnosis because it was extremely helpful, easy and well presented. Best of all I am now a non smoker after many years smoking and having tried everything else.

I have a Macbook and a PC with no land line available. Can I use a USB wireless dongel on the Mac so have internet there, bu can I also somehow access the internet on the PC at the same time
land line refers to a phone connection.
it is unclear what you are connecting to for internet now.
How to properly post a question: http://tinyurl.com/2fsqqmu
I have no idea whether you can do internet connection sharing between a mac and a PC. if it is possible to create a LAN between them using a crossover cable then there may be some kind of proxy software you can load in the MAC to share it's internet.

Earlier this week, Beirut announced their fifth studio album Gallipoli and shared the album's title track. The Zach Condon-led band has quickly followed that up with another single, "Corfu." A completely instrumental piece, the song breaks away from the signature horns and anthemic melodies of Beirut's typical fare. The title for "Corfu" is standard for Beirut though, who tend to name their songs after cities. Gallipoli is named after the Italian city where the band visited while recording and where Condon wrote the title track.
The record is out Feb. 1 via 4AD and follows 2015's No, No, No. Beirut will be embarking on a tour behind Gallipoli in 2019, with a date in Seattle on Wednesday, Feb. 27 at the Paramount Theatre. Listen to "Corfu" below.
Following last week's letter from Zach Condon, Gallipoli now release date, tracklist, and lead single have been shared
The record will be the band's fourth studio album and first since 2015's No No No

We are kicking off Season 2 of Epic Planks Germination with an edit from our own backyard in Michigan. We just wrapped up visiting 4 Michigan resorts in 4 days with athletes Sam Zahner, Danny Arnold, Bryan DePauw, and Mike King…..along with a few other friends. We had a hell of a time and appreciate the hospitality that we received at each stop along the way!
Day 1: Nubs Nob - Huge thanks to John Curtis for hooking us up and showing us a great time. We had a blast at Nubs as their park exceeded our expectations. Nubs Nob is without a doubt one of the premiere spots for park skiing in Northern Michigan.
Day 2: Schuss Mountain (Shanty Creek Resorts) – We had a blast at Schuss Mountain even though we ended up skiing in the rain and fog. We are looking forward to making our way back to Schuss later in the season to revisit the Big Air Launchpad and to see the new Monster Energy Park. Thanks for the hospitality Chris Hale.
Day 3: Cannonsburg – Had a rowdy day at the best terrain park in the Grand Rapids area. Marc Moline continues to execute a great vision as the Burg ups the ante every year.
Day 4: TR Parks (Timber Ridge) – Amy & Luke Schrab made us feel at home as we spent time hitting the biggest jump in lower Michigan. This perfectly shaped kicker allowed our guys to go huge at TR Parks!

If you are in immediate danger, either call the police or leave the house. The North Carolina Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCCADV) provides resources and immediate assistance to those in need. Always put your safety first, but if your situation allows, you may want to speak with an attorney about your specific circumstances prior to leaving the house.
The Domestic Violence Act offers several protections, for domestic violence victims, from temporary child custody to evicting your spouse from the home. There are even specific events that qualify for an immediate restraining order.

Does Anyone Need to Avoid Truvada?
You should not take Truvada if you are allergic to Truvada, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, emtricitabine, or any inactive components used to make the medication. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist has a list of the inactive components.
There are a number of situations in which Truvada should not be taken, as well as several precautions and warnings people should be aware of before starting the drug. However, it is possible that not all of the warnings or precautions were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your healthcare provider about the specific Truvada warnings and precautions that may apply to you.

A classic example of what is known as the "butterfly roof house". This home in Launceston is a striking example of 1960s style. It would have to rate as one of the cities Modernist residential landmarks.

All I've changed here (apart from reformatting the code to make it easier on the eyes) is to have added two compilation constants. These will make it easier to set things up from the main program. That is, there is no need to alter the unit itself when using it in various situations.
Compilation Constants
These are quite straightforward. The first establishes the frequency of the PWM waveform, while the other sets the desired mode. You can find what modes are available in your chip by referring to its data sheet. The mode is set by specifying the values of the CCP1CON bits. So, for example:
{$DEFINE PWM_FREQ 10000} // 10 kHz
{$DEFINE CCP1CON_INIT [CCP1M3, CCP1M2]} // PWM mode
The commands are pretty much self-explanatory:
procedure PWM_Init;
procedure PWM_Duty(aDuty : byte);
Note that the specified duty cycle is 0..255, corresponding to 0%..100%.
procedure PWM_Start;
procedure PWM_Stop(aWaitLast : boolean);
The boolean flag indicates whether you want the PWM to stop at once, or wait for the current cycle to conclude before stopping.
Add It to Your Library Collection
And here's the new library unit, "PWM_CCP_alt.pas" for you to download:
Be sure to read over the source code for additional details on how to use it.

Country Profile: South Korea
South Korea is one of the most dynamic countries in the world, South Korea has emerged from a chaotic history, and has rightfully ascended the ladder to become a world power. Bordering North Korea in the south and separated from China and Japan by the Sea of Japan, Yellow Sea and Korea Strait, South Korea is an active participant in what is one of Asia's most historically volatile areas The national flag of Korea is called "Taegeukgi'. According to Korea.net "Its design symbolizes the principles of the yin and yang in Asian philosophy. The upper red section of the circle in the center of the flag represents the proactive cosmic forces of the yang. On the other hand, the lower blue section represents the responsive cosmic forces of the yin." It's concept is continual movement and harmony. Here is what Taegeukgi looks like.
Korea has had a long history from 2,333 B.C. There is really famous story of how this country formed and it is called The Myth of Dangun. This story is legend and Visitkorea stated that "the mythical figure Dan-gun founded Gojoseon, the first Korean Kingdom, in 2333 B.C. Subsequently, several tribes moved from the southern part of Manchuria to the Korean Peninsula." Additionally, he told a tiger and a bear to stay alive in cave with only eating garlic and mugwort for one hundred days to become a human.
Korea experienced many invasions by its neighbor country in 2000 years of its history. Long centuries of dynastic rule by various kings were followed by Japanese colonization in 1910. According to Country Studies Korea underwent drastic changes under Japanese rule. Even before the country was formally annexed by Japan in 1910, the Japanese caused the last ruling monarch, King Kojong, to abdicate the throne in 1907 in favor of his feeble son, who was soon married off to a Japanese woman and given a Japanese peerage. Japan then governed Korea under a residency general and subsequently under a governor general directly subordinate to Japanese prime ministers. All of the governor generals were high-ranking Japanese military officers. In theory the Koreans, as subjects of the Japanese emperor, enjoyed the same status as the Japanese; but in fact the Japanese government treated the Koreans as a conquered people. Until 1921 they were not allowed to publish their own newspapers or to organize political or intellectual groups. Japan's surrender in World War II liberated a country that had been chafing under its occupation for many decades. During the colonial period, Japan's economic exploitation of Korea continued. The lives of Koreans deteriorated under colonial rule until the end of World War II in 1945. Japan's surrender in World War II liberated a country that had been chafing under its occupation for many decades.

After Japan's surrender to the Allied Powers in 1945, Korea is divided at the 38th parallel marked the beginning of Soviet and U.S. taking control over the North and South. According to U.S. Department of State "On August 15, 1948 the Republic of Korea (R.O.K.) was established, with Syngman Rhee as the first President. On September 9, 1948 the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (D.P.R.K.) was established under Kim Il Sung."
But under the instigation of Stalin the two nascent countries involved in a war as North Korea attacked its neighbor on 25th June, 1950. Commonly known as the Korean War this is one of the bloodiest chapters of South Korean history. According to Country Studies By June 1950, North Korean forces numbered between 150,000 and 200,000 troops, organized into ten infantry divisions, one tank division, and one air force division. Soviet equipment, including automatic weapons of various types,...
