Exam Information & Results (Including Progress 8 Scores)
Results Days 2017
A Level & AS Results - Thursday 17th August 2017 9.30 -11.30 am
GCSE Results - Thursday 24th August 2017 9.30 – 11.30am
GCSE & AS/A Level Results Collection
If you are not able to collect your results in person, you can do one of the following:
1) Write a signed note/letter authorising a named third party to collect them on your behalf. If you wish to do this in advance, (prior to the end of term), we can clip the authorisation to your envelope, this then avoids the person collecting them for you from forgetting the note, as we CANNOT give out your results to anyone else without the written authorisation.
2) Bring in a stamp so that we can post them out to you on Results Day. If you bring a stamp to the Exams Office, we have bright coloured envelopes to ensure those to be posted are easily identified among the standard results envelopes.
Students should collect and sign for their certificates in person. Alternatively if a student is unable to come in to school for any reason, they can write a note that must be signed by them, nominating a named third party to collect and sign for them on their behalf.
We are unable to release certificates to any third party without written permission to do so by the student.
We do not post out certificates due to the risk of loss in the postal system. Each candidate can receive at least three or more certificates and they cost approximately £40.00 each to replace which is why we do not post them out.
Should a candidate insist we post them, the school cannot not take responsibility for them once they have left our possession.
A Level Press Release
Congratulations to Stowmarket High's Year 13 students this summer for achieving another set of outstanding results. This cohort's overall performance on their advanced level courses continued to push even higher with 84% of students attaining A* to C grades. The overall pass rate was 97%. Diploma courses were particularly noteworthy for the number of A* distinctions that students achieved. All students have secured places at their next place of study. Also very encouraging was the number of students being offered Higher Level Apprenticeships which also includes a higher education element.
Headteacher Dave Lee-Allan said,
'At a time when the concern within the teaching profession was about the volatility of results, we have thankfully seen a traditionally strong performance at A2. The students have worked so hard and deserve every success. I would like to thank all the staff and governors for their hard work, but also the support of parents. Wherever these students choose to go, whether it be university, apprenticeships or the workplace, I am proud that they have the results that they need to build a happy and secure future.'
Notable performances were seen from Maisie Frost, who secured her place at Cambridge with her 2A*'s and two A's, Matthew Chapelle with one A* and 3A's and both Sally Halls and Robert Norman securing 3 A's. Sarah Bensley achieved a faultless 3 A*'s for her Health and Social Care, and unsurprisingly moves on to study nursing at UEA.
Congratulations to Adam Fuller, Harry Wilding, Joseph Balaam, Lucas Cantwell, Elizabeth Ludbrook, Ellie Dickinson and Mark Lennon on achieving full apprenticeships with reputable companies.

I moved to a new city. Hello Montgomery!

Started a new job. Welcome to Alabama politics!
Moved into a loft - which is gradually becoming a home.
Got engaged! Read more about that here :)
And I just know there will be more changes headed our way in 2012...

There are so many things I really love about this quilt.
I love the solid colour in the square block construction. Some more than others as I got a little freer with them with the more I produced. I particularly love the little strip of coloured squares and rectangles at the bottom. I really love the green Ikea bird fabric on the back. I think it was from the Cecilia range last year and I've pretty much used up all that I had in this colour bar a few left over strips cut off after quilting.I love the strip of solid squares that runs down one side and across the top of the back. A great way to incorporate the front into the back and again using up most of these colours from the stash.And most of all, I love how all of the fabrics came from my stash. Satisfaction indeed.
I'm really loving the solid black binding and think that it frames the whole quilt really well.

A federal audit of a Will County economic development group has concluded that a $2 million business loan program run by the agency was fraught with
``political patronage, conflicts of interest and other abuses,`` including the potential for bribery.
As a result of the audit, the Will County Local Development Co. was denied an additional $400,000 grant earlier this year. Officials of the U.S. Department of Commerce said Thursday that they turned down that request because they feared the problems that plagued the old loan program would spill over into the new one.

Developing New Drugs at Lower Costs
How can we improve patient outcomes and enhance the climate for innovation in an era of rising healthcare costs? This challenging question was the driving force for the European Healthcare Innovation Leadership Network (EHILN) as it met for the first time in 2006.
As the discussion shifted to defining value in the drug development process, the Network launched disease-specific Working Groups in type 2 diabetes and breast cancer – diseases chosen for their high unmet needs and impact on healthcare systems – to focus these discussions and develop a shared understanding of value across stakeholders.
In 2009, both Working Groups completed the development of "shared value frameworks" to provide guidance on what constitutes value in a new medicine. However, recognising the limitations inherent in a static framework, the Working Groups recommended the creation of multi-country, multi-stakeholder consultations as a way to create greater clarity in value assessment to inform development decisions.
Participants noted that the multi-stakeholder consultations were "the first time that so many people coming from different horizons were around the same table," adding that such transparent engagement may help improve the effectiveness of the drug development process in delivering innovative medicines that address unmet needs at reasonable cost.
The consultations provided valuable feedback to companies, with development teams stating that the pilots had "concrete and practical influence on the way we continue our development." Further, the consultations offered other stakeholders opportunities for mutual learning that informed participating organizations' internal decision-making processes.
Learn more about the development of working groups and pilots of multi-stakeholder consultations in drug development.

Our pediatrician is a lovely, laid-back man named Dr. Krock. He's low-key and amiable, and after asking him to doctor three children over the course of eight years, I'd dare say he's unflappable. Broken foot? Let's take a look. Chicken pox? Come up the back stairs and we'll take a look. Weird rash? Let's take a look. My friend, Jody, also doctors with Dr. Krock, and we have decided that he is so laid back and unflappable that if he ever looks us square in the eyes and says, "This is a problem and you need to be concerned," we might flip out. Like really come undone.
And it's exactly Dr. Krock and his picture of calm that's come back to my mind over the past six months as I've followed the farm land market. I talk with a handful of farm land managers periodically, to get a feel for what's going on in the ag real estate market. And let me tell you, if anyone is exuberant over farmland, it's a farm manager. For the 13 years I've been talking with them, it has always been the best time to get into farm land. Prices high? "They're going higher, and there's no better return than farm land!"
Then this spring, during a routine phone call, I got my first sense of less-than-usual optimism. Certainly, they weren't saying there was a problem. But there was a barely detectible chink in the optimism. As a farm writer and a farm wife, this felt like the equivalent of Dr. Krock saying, "This is a problem and you need to be concerned."
I am certainly no economist nor expert at anything really, but I try to pay attention to smart people who are. So when Mike Boehlje stood up to speak at Wednesday's Wyffels Corn Strategies conference, I tuned in. He talked for 90 minutes about the forces affecting agriculture. How we've remained virtually untouched by the recession – indeed, less than a third of the farmer audience even knew someone who's unemployed.
He also says exports pulled us out of the recession, namely China's ability to recover faster than us and start buying our goods – which is all interesting considering our government's lack of attention to free trade and export markets. But that's another story (and another and another).
He talked about Congress and their failure to get anything done about the debt ceiling. He went so far as to say that if Congress doesn't come up with a real solution, the country will plunge into another recession. If that happens, and if economic growth in China and India would slow (down to 5% from their current 9.6%), the agricultural industry will be affected and will feel real pain.
What does that mean for land prices? I don't know. But I know $10,000 an acre is plain silly. Talk about unsustainable.
Boehlje was less kind, referring to a recent Iowa sale of 80 acres at $13,950, where the winning bidder and contender were both farmers: "It's stupid to pay that much for farm land."
Are farm land prices a bubble? Will it burst? I don't want to think about it, but it almost feels like it has to, at some point.

"Hey Stacy! I just did a report over horse cloning, and I was wondering if you had ever thought of cloning Roxy?" -Lindsay
I would love to see some of your report, maybe you can post some of what you learned here in the comment section. It has been several years since I have heard much about cloning and I haven't really followed it.
I never did consider cloning. I imagine that everyone has their own opinion on the idea, but for me it never seemed attractive. I love each horse for its uniqueness, their personality and their interaction. I look at them so much like a friend that for me it would be like cloning one of my human friends…which seems a bit strange.
I guess another way to say what I mean is that I don't really see the point, for me personally. When I look around the world there are so many horses that could be amazing that I am more tempted to give one of them a chance than to clone. Roxy wasn't a horse that people were lined up to buy…until after she was trained. I also believe that there are more horses out there that could be unique and special in their own way.
Even from a performance stand point I find it interesting that the Texas A&M website states , "…as well as possible health problems associated with cloned neonates makes it unlikely that the cloned offspring will perform at the same level as the donor animal."
I believe that horses are a bit like people, there are a lot of great ones out there and I personally enjoy the hunt.

May 16: Biblical serpent
By Jerusalem Post Readers
"I was amazed to read that the symbol used by the IDF Medical Corps is attributed to Greek mythology. I find this unlikely since there is a biblical source for the symbol."
Biblical serpent
Sir, – I was amazed to read in the report on the new exhibition at the Tower of David Museum ("Medicine over the millennia in the Holy City," Health & Science, May 11) that the symbol used by the IDF Medical Corps is attributed to Greek mythology. I find this unlikely since there is a biblical source for the symbol.
In Numbers 21:8, after deadly serpents attacked the Israelites in the desert, we read: "And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole; and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."
Moses made this from brass and it was effective.
I have a picture of my father in the uniform of the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War II. In the best Judeo-Christian tradition, on his headgear is a brass serpent on a pole.
Keep it ours
Sir, – I have heard that Israel might consider handing over David's Tomb on Jerusalem's Mount Zion to the Catholic Church. Several reasons compel us not to.
After 1948, Jews were not permitted access to the Old City. They flocked to Mount Zion to glimpse the Western Wall and pray at David's Tomb. Because of winning the Six Day War, in which many Jews sacrificed their lives, we now have free access to our holy sites (except for the Temple Mount, and the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, which accommodates Muslims on their holy days, when Jews are not permitted entry).
The Jewish people has a history of tolerance of other cultures and religions that those cultures and religions don't necessarily share.
Under Israeli rule, Mount Zion hosts Jews, Christians of all denominations and Muslims. If David's Tomb is given to one Christian denomination, the area's peaceful status could change. Consider too that Catholics, in accordance with their beliefs, would add statues of saints and perhaps even convert David's Tomb into a church. This would make it impossible for Jews to pray there.
The Israeli government should think about the consequences of giving away holy sites and land to foreigners. It would make it seem that we don't have a right to a Jewish land because we don't value it.
By the way, has the government thought about asking the Vatican to return our artifacts and holy manuscripts?
The good Israeli
Sir, – We often do not pause to smell the roses, and we rarely applaud goodness. But having just returned from my first trip to Israel – an awesome two-week experience, overwhelming but not surprising – I am grateful to and will never forget Udi Merioz of the Blue and White Gallery in Jerusalem's Old City.
While shopping there I left behind my handbag containing my passport, wallet, credit cards, etc. Mr.
Merioz found the handbag.
He emailed me and telephoned my home and office numbers in Canada.
With the time difference he couldn't leave a message with anyone, so he persisted, phoning different hotels. Security at my hotel telephoned to advise me that I had left my handbag at the gallery. I didn't even know it was missing.
I jumped into a taxi and rushed to the Old City, finding Mr. Merioz standing outside the gallery. It was long past his closing time but he felt I would show up. His honesty, concern and diligence added to my Israeli experience – unforgettable.
Udi, I can only say thank you, but all Israel should be proud of you!
CORRECTION The article "Lipman visits recently vandalized Conservative synagogue in J'lem" (May 15) incorrectly identified the synagogue. It was Kehilat Moreshet Yisrael on Agron Street in central Jerusalem.
We apologize for the error.

Online shopping under the influence
Almost half of Britons have shopped online after drinking, often falling asleep or having to abandon a transaction, new research shows.
In a survey of more than 4,200 consumers, 14% admitted they would never have made their purchase if they had been sober, often sending goods back straight away.
The most popular items bought online by "boozy" shoppers were clothes and shoes, DVDs, books, video games, technology and lingerie.
Shopping comparison website Kelkoo said its poll showed that more than half of online shoppers spent more if they were tipsy.
Most drink-fuelled shopping is done between 11pm and 1am, although one in five makes purchases up to 5am, the survey showed.
Chris Simpson, of Kelkoo, said: "Online shopping has become a daily part of Brits' lives and people are taking advantage of being able to shop at any time of the day, whether at home in bed, on the move, or in bars and restaurants.
"Our research shows that while people shopping under the influence of alcohol could spell good news for those on the receiving end of gifts, we'd always advise shoppers to think carefully when making purchases and remember that they are able to use retailers' returns policies if they realise afterwards that they've purchased unwanted items."

MOSCOW, Sept 1 (Reuters) - The Caspian oil pipeline cut supplies by about 1 percent in August from July, to 4.417 million tonnes, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) said on Friday.
In January-August, CPC's exports rose to 36.1 million tonnes from 28.08 million tonnes in the year-earlier period, in accordance with its expansion plans.
Last month, the consortium said it had curtailed its export target for this year to 56.5 million tonnes of crude oil (1.13 million barrels per day) due to a global oil output cut deal reached by OPEC and non-OPEC producers.
Initially, it had planned to export almost 65 million tonnes this year.
The pipeline connects the Tengiz field in Kazakhstan, and a number of other fields, to the sea terminal near Novorossiisk in Russia. (Reporting by Alla Afanasyeva; writing by Vladimir Soldatkin; editing by Susan Fenton)

While it may just be a nibble rather than a full on bite, the possibility of Anderson Silva and Jon Jones locking horns inside the Octagon came a sliver closer to reality when "The Spider" was asked about the match-up and didn't flat out deny his interest in it. Ironically, one of the reasons Jones accepted a controversial title-defense against Chael Sonnen has also factored in to Silva's change of heart – the overwhelming interest of fans.
Silva's remarks came in an interview with SporTV where he made it clear he wasn't calling Jones out, just weighing his options.
"What if he goes there and accepted the money that Dana White will give him wanting to fight? It'll be difficult. It's not the money that motivates me to fight, I fight because I like it. So, I dunno," explained Silva, adding, "people are talking about it so much".
In the statement, "The Spider" also said he would not want to fight Jones for his light heavyweight title out of respect for teammates in the division or defend his own middleweight belt in hopes of retiring with the gold at some point down the road. Rather, Silva would want to see a catch-weight involved though didn't mention a specific number.
If by some strange twist of fate Silva and Jones do clash in the cage it would pit two of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport against one another, providing the type of atmosphere at home in a venue like Cowboys Stadium. Silva is 16-0 in the UFC including wins over Sonnen, Vitor Belfort, Forrest Griffin, Rich Franklin, and Dan Henderson, Comparably, Jones has gone 17-1 thus far in his career with the lone stumble involving an unnecessary disqualification. Among his notable victims are the likes of Belfort, Mauricio Rua, Quinton Jackson, and Lyoto Machida.

40+ Brand-Name Drugs Dropped By Insurance in 2015
Elizabeth Davis - August 20, 2014
For many Americans with health insurance, more than 40 popular brand-name drugs may no longer be covered starting in January 2015. Express Scripts and Caremark, companies that handle pharmacy benefits for more than 200 million Americans, are removing over 40 drugs from their formularies at the end of 2014.

What are Express Scripts and Caremark?
Express Scripts and Caremark are companies that administer prescription drug benefits for many health insurance companies and Tricare. See More
Straight Out of Pulp Fiction: An Injection for Opioid Overdose You Can Use at Home
Dr. Sharon Orrange - April 09, 2014
Heroin, Oxycontin or any opioid overdose is easily reversed with naloxone. You've seen it in the movies and it's true, naloxone works to wake people up from the dead, well . . . most of the time. Now people won't have to wait for paramedics to arrive or to get to the ER, it will be available as a prescription.
The FDA has approved Evzio (naloxone injection) for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdose, which as you know manifests as respiratory and/or central nervous system depression. See More

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
President Obama is on the same page as Jada Pinkett Smith — at a recent Q and A with television anchors about the Affordable Health Care Act, the conversation shifted to diversity in Hollywood. The President echoed Mrs. Smith's point that diversity is important, adding it's about "everyone getting a fair shot," proof that the Gotham actress' Facebook video is making waves all the way up to the White House.
But before she requested you boycott the Oscars, she spoke out on divorce rumors, stuck up for her daughter, and had beef with a legendary rapper. Giiiirl, there is nothing as exciting as when a celebrity takes out her Harry Winston earrings and gets ready to duke it out verbally with the media. Real talk abounds.
June 2015 — Jada Slams Divorce Rumors
During an interview with ET, her open letter begins philosophically — "You would think that people would be rooting for you to stay together not to break up," but then comes with a paper cut. Jada continued, "but you know what? People gotta make their money and...do what they gotta do." Then, she puts a little lemon juice on it, "and if people can go to sleep at night creating those stories, then hey, have it." In social media terms, that statement went from a subtweet to a direct message to a blocked user.
May 2014 — Jada Defends Willow
When the Smiths' daughter, then-13 year old Willow, posted a picture on Instagram of herself lounging on a bed with shirtless buddy Moises Arias, the Internet was in an uproar about its suggestive undertones. Jada talked tough to the media and let the mama bear claws out saying, "There was nothing sexual about that picture or that situation. You guys [reporters] are projecting your trash onto it. And you're acting like covert pedophiles, and that's not cool."
When Jada comes at you like Chris Hansen and tells you to have a seat on the stool, you know you're in trouble. Do you feel that heat washing over your body? It's called shame. SHAME ON YOU!
April 2013 — Jada Responds to Open Marriage Rumors
In a HuffPost Live interview, Jada revealed, "I've always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be OK,'" and added, "Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's not for me to do for him. Or vice versa." This is Spousal Support 101, and class is in session.
July 2001 — Jane Confronts Ageism
On turning 30, Jada told People, "I'm finally feeling like a woman...Before, I was a little girl just trying to be a woman." I feel like a little girl trying to be a woman when I wrap my mind around her maturity and poise in the face of a milestone often scrutinized by Hollywood."
June 1996 — Jada Has a Stand-Off with Tupac
She was actually good friends with the rap legend, but there were no "benefits." She told Howard Stern, "The only way I can put it is that the higher power did not want it at all. If Pac and I had any kind of sexual chemistry, we might have killed each other because we were both so passionate. And you know, we loved deeply," she reflected. "It was hard enough with us just being friends. It was volatile relationship." The two went on to give each other the silent treatment before his death in 1996.
December 2015 — Jada Slaps Some Sense into Will
I don't want to call her violent — that's how rumors get started! And we know she doesn't tolerate rumors, — but she has been known to get handsy. On the morning of the announcement of his Golden Globe nomination, Will Smith told the NY Times, "My wife slapped me out of my sleep to wake me up and tell me," adding, "She was just so ecstatic." He confirmed on Fallon ""It was really strange because they come on the West Coast, it was at 5:30 in the morning. I was sleep. I felt like a slap on my ass and Jada said, 'You got nominated for a Golden Globe!' So I was like, that's a strange way to learn."
Yes, even when she is happy she is a force to be reckoned with.
How about you? Are you impressed with Jada's gumption or over it like Aunt Viv? Let me know in the comments!

Blues Without Borders Artist Evelyn Rubio Gains Phenomenal Radio Momentum
Number 1, Number 3, & Number 6 on Billboard Charts
HOUSTON, March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-talented singer, musician Evelyn Rubio's dual language release Hombres blows the charts away. Coming in at number one Latin Pop Album, number three Top Latin Album, and number six Blues Album, Evelyn Rubio is well on her way. Grammy member Evelyn Rubio had this to say, "We are so excited! Our greatest hope was that our efforts toward delivering a quality piece of work in both Spanish and English would gain worldwide attention and now we are seeing through the many plays by radio stations worldwide that we are witnessing our hope. We couldn't be more happier, this is very exciting."

Currently Evelyn Rubio is gracing the cover of Mississippi Blues Club as their Featured Artist of 2015. Publisher/Editor Dew Wiuff shared this remark, "Mixing a sizzling fusion of jazz with pop, rock and blues ingredients is not the forte of many artists that create their own style of music, but occasionally an artist comes along that mixes up their music and appeals to a wide range of listeners. Evelyn Rubio is naturally one of these artists that cross the boundaries." http://mississippibluesclub.com/
Australian radio show host (Blues on the Hill Radio Show) Barry Maxwell shares this, "Old school Big Band Blues does not come any better than the latest release from Evelyn Rubio. Led by the fabulous Calvin Owens, his Blues Orchestra swings its way through 11 wonderful tracks, with the stunning voice of Evelyn Rubio this release is a must have for your blues collection."
Radio X Belgium, Paul Heath CEO, comments, "After receiving Evelyn Rubio's CD, that reached us here in Europe just a few months back, it was clear from taking the briefest of listens that she was going to have to be featured in one of our specialist music hour segments."
From Sicily, Radio Show Host Nicola Conforti, "Latin or English version? It is difficult to know which album is better! In Italy the Latin language is much easier to understand, as well as the English language is very much blues. Evelyn Rubio with her two albums "HOMBRES" has Latinized the Blues, and simultaneously has Americanized the Hispanic musicality. Hearing this sound and the fresh voice of a complete artist as Evelyn, it is a very nice experience. Very refined saxophone solos, full and round on all the arrangements, both cheerful and sentimental songs accompanied by a great orchestra. And so, as we say in Italy, HOMBRES is an album "PERFETTO", or rather two!"
Blues Foundation Board Member John W. Deck Jr, "I have had the privilege of hearing Evelyn Rubio several times in and around the Houston area. What a great talent! She will continue to make waves within the blues genre."

An undescended testicle, sometimes called a cryptorchidism testicle, is a common problem in young boys.
Who Does Undescended Testicle Affect?Up to 30 percent of premature boys, up to five percent of boys born at term, and up to one percent of one-year-old boys will have at least one undescended testis.
As the numbers imply, most of these early undescended testicles will come down to the scrotum over the first year of life. Actually, most of them come down by three or four months, but very few descend after that.
How Do Undescended Testicles Form?The testicle originally forms in the back of the abdominal cavity, similar to the position of the ovaries in girls.
Near the end of pregnancy, the testis begins to descend to the scrotum. A path is cleared for the testis by a structure called the processus vaginalis— essentially a groin or inguinal hernia. The testicle follows the back wall of the hernia into the scrotum, and then the hernia closes.
If the process is incomplete, the testicle might end up anywhere from inside the abdomen to just above the scrotum. Sometimes, the testis tries to descend but follows the wrong path and ends up in an "ectopic" location, usually not far from the scrotum.
There are several reasons that UPMC pediatric urologists recommend treatment for persistently undescended testicles:
Treatment for the undescended testicle depends on the location of the testis.
Surgery to Treat Undescended Testicle For testes that can be felt in the groin area, the usual recommendation is an operation called anorchiopexy or orchidopexy. This literally means "fixing the testis."
This surgery is almost always performed as an outpatient procedure. It is done through a small hernia incision in the groin and takes up to an hour and a half to perform. Recovery is generally very rapid and the outcome is usually good.
Hormone Treatment for Undescended TesticleAn alternative is hormonal treatment with HCG, a series of injections that stimulate the testicles to make hormones.
In a small number of boys, this treatment will result in permanent descent of the testicle. Hormonal treatment is sometimes recommended if the testis is very close to the scrotum and there is a good likelihood of success.
If the testicle cannot be felt by the doctor, it is called an "impalpable" testis (which simply means "cannot be felt"). Impalpable testes may be inside the abdomen, too small to feel, or they may be absent.
Surgery to Locate Testicles in the AbdomenUnfortunately, there is no reliable x-ray that can tell us whether a testis is in the abdomen. Generally, surgery is required to make that determination.
The most accurate operation to locate these testicles is a laparoscopy, a procedure in which a telescope is placed into the abdomen through a small incision near the navel. The abdomen can be examined with a telescope, and the results may show:
Options are different for adults with an undescended testicle. Bringing the testicle down to the scrotum will probably not affect fertility and, therefore, an undescended testicle might simply be removed.
The ages of higher risk for testicular cancer are from 18 to 40, with most occurring in younger men. For this reason, and due to the increased risk of anesthesia in older patients, it has been recommended that nothing be done about these testicles after age 32. This is an individual consideration and you should consult with your physician.

Buyers too often rest secure in assuming the factory is rightly manufacturing their order, timing looks good and no sign of order delay is in sight. This is in spite of the red flags that were majestically waving throughout the project. Buyers tend to have selective belief when dealing with offshore vendors. It's human nature, right? I mean, we all hope things "go right" and therefore, we choose to believe, regardless of the evidences that scream otherwise.
Here's examples of order delay red flags that should keep you on your toes to avoid a false sense of timing comfort.
The sample took a long time to get right
This one can be a double whammy. If the sample took a long time and the factory did multiple attempts, this tells you a few things. Most importantly it tells you quality during mass production may be an issue.
Problems the factory had during sampling, are you absolutely sure they stamped out for mass production?
If they have to tackle these same quality problems, during mass production, then it can bleed over into an order delay.
Keep in mind that when the factory quotes mass production times, they don't factor in possible problems.
The lead time the factory quotes is based on everything working 100% smoothly.
When negotiating the timing, the supplier gave heavy pushback but finally agreed
If the factory wasn't eager in achieving this, then keep a strong eye on it throughout the order. If the factory keeps saying how busy they are, then it shouldn't be a surprise if you get a "bad news" email 5 days before completion.
Timing Control Wrap-Up in China Manufacturing
No documentation or quote file clearly lays out timing
If there's nothing concrete on timing, let that raise a red flag. If your only evidence of timing confirmation is a WeChat conversation you had 1 day on your way to work where you said you really need this timing, and the supplier said "we'll do our best", that's not exactly teflon against an order delay.
It's a complex item and the vendor quotes a standard mass production time
Your item requires various developmental processes, input from secondary vendor partners and lots of back and forth.
You ask the vendor the mass production time.
They quickly say 30 days.
Let this bring up a red flag.
If it's an item that you know is going to take kid gloves at development, then even if the supplier gives you a great timing parameter, do your own due diligence and consider more weeks.
You've been pushing for rush production and your vendor is only agreeing instead of showing
Have the vendor show you how they are going to achieve that timing. Not only saying "yeah, yeah, yeah" but have them actually chart a course. Even if you have to lay out the steps for them and have them confirm. Asking the right questions is a must.
It's like in math class where it wasn't sufficient for you to only give an answer, but the teacher would say, "how did you get that answer".
It's the same thing in China manufacturing.
If the vendor is not resisting a difficult goal or process, this should bring up a red flag. This shows they're not truly calculating and considering the request.
You don't want the factory to only agree and you don't want them to give heavy pushback and then half-heartedly accept. You want a vendor that will professionally weight the pros and cons and then come to a professional decision.
Radio silence from the supplier towards end of order
Many times when timing is tight and things aren't looking good; the factory stops replying to emails. They are no longer available during your usual chat time. Something smells fishy.
Or they reply to emails and hit all of your points, but conveniently skip over the point you had asking about timing.
During mass production, it doesn't look like they're hitting timing goals
If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it probably is.
If it simply looks like it isn't gonna happen, then it probably ain't. Regardless if the supplier keeps saying "no problem". Use your own common horse sense. If they still didn't start certain processes or show you proof of completion, and there's a day left until scheduled factory departure…then guess what?

Marion County Judge/Executive John G. Mattingly will be stepping down at the end of this year, and two men are seeking to take his place.
David Daugherty and Doug Mattingly are running against one another for county judge in the Democratic primary on May 20. Unless an independent or write-in candidate files before the general election in November, then the primary winner will be the next county judge.
If you've been to the Marion County Country Ham Days Pigasus Parade, then you've probably seen Jimmy Hughes' collection of Farmall tractors. He's also taken them to Plow Days, displayed them at the Marion County Chamber of Commerce's Farm, Home and Garden Show, and showed them off at farm machinery shows in multiple states.
Among his 10 tractors, he has all six models that International Harvester manufactured in the 1940s.
"I've got every one of 'em from the M [the biggest] to the Cub [the smallest]," Hughes said.

The Courier-Journal
FRANKFORT, Ky. – Developers of the controversial Bluegrass Pipeline do not have the legal authority to condemn land to pipe natural gas liquids across Kentucky, a judge ruled March 25.
In an 18-page order, Circuit Judge Phillip Shepherd granted a summary judgment in favor of the group Kentuckians United to Restrain Eminent Domain, or KURE, which has fought the pipeline project.
The Kentucky Enquirer
Six of 10 Kentucky adults (or 64 percent) reported visiting a dentist or dental clinic within the past year, new data from the 2013 Kentucky Health Issues Poll shows.
But the poll also showed that "almost 1 in 6 had not visited the dentist or a dental clinic in five or more years," said Francie Wolgin, senior program officer for protecting the health care safety net at Norwood, Ohio-based Interact for Health.
The results for Northern Kentucky on both questions were basically the same as the statewide poll.
Kentucky Press News Service
FRANKFORT - Oldham County ranks healthiest in Kentucky, according to the fifth annual County Health Rankings, released by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute.
The rankings are available at www.countyhealthrankings.org. In addition to the updated rankings, Kentucky has been selected by the foundation as one of three states being highlighted nationally for its success in implementing strategies for improving health at the community level.
FRANKFORT – Kentucky's health is poor and in dire need of improvement. This was the diagnosis from the state's public health commissioner to members of the "kyhealthnow" Oversight Team Thursday during its first meeting.
In conjunction with Maker's Mark's 60th anniversary of kicking off the bourbon revolution, a stunning, 36' x 6' glass art installation by world-renowned artist Dale Chihuly was unveiled March 26 in one of the distillery's rack houses. The piece of art took more than seven months to complete and stretches down the walkway of one of the distillery's rickhouses. The artwork will be available for the public to enjoy as a permanent part of the Maker's Mark distillery tour.
Barry Shewmaker was at the bottom of the barrel when he went to work at Kentucky Cooperage in 1991. In his first job, he was a barrel stacker, which is exactly what the title implies.
And he used that experience to build a career.
Today, Shewmaker is the plant manager at the cooperage, which is owned by Independent Stave Company, and he was recognized as this year's Outstanding Industry Manager by the Marion County Chamber of Commerce.
Marion County Public Schools have missed 16 days of school this year, and the school board continues to go back and forth on how those missed days should be made up.
"I think we have to look at what we think is best for kids," Superintendent Taylora Schlosser told board members at their regular monthly meeting Tuesday of last week. "Our board is very adamant that we want kids to get as many days of instruction in as possible."
While it's not official until a contract is signed, every school in the Marion County Public School System could have its very own nurse next school year.

Antrel Rolle's initial reaction was to evenly distribute the blame in the sordid Dolphins scandal between Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin.
"Richie Incognito, is he wrong? Absolutely,'' Rolle said Tuesday on his weekly WFAN spot. "But I think the other guy is just as much to blame because he allowed it to happen.''
Incognito was suspended indefinitely by the Dolphins after allegedly sending threatening and racially charged messages to Martin, a second-year offensive lineman. Martin abruptly left the team last week. He claims in addition to the bullying, Incognito also forced him to pay $15,000 for a trip to Las Vegas that Martin did not go on.
"This football league is not built on men who like to bully other men,'' Rolle said. "I think this is just an incident on its own. Is in an issue within the NFL? Absolutely not.''
Rolle repeatedly stressed he felt Incognito crossed the line, but, referring to Martin, said, "You're a grown-ass man, you can stand up for yourself. There's no punking that should be going on at the NFL level. Hazing is one thing, bullying is another.''
On SNY on Tuesday afternoon, Rolle reiterated Martin "absolutely" should have stood up to Incognito. While Rolle said he is sympathetic to Martin, "he's a big guy, this is not his rookie year, he is his own man, he is his own individual. There's no reason why someone of his size — and being that he is a man — should have to deal with or even put up with another man bullying him. To me, I don't understand it and I feel that if you allow someone to do something to you they're going to continue it until you stop them."
Rolle added on SNY, "I'm not saying that [Martin] didn't handle himself like a man. I am just saying that he did not handle himself the way I would have handled myself, that's all."
Later in the evening, Rolle changed his tune, no doubt after hearing heavy criticism for laying equal blame on Martin.
"I agree about choosing my words more carefully so I apologize on that behalf,'' Rolle wrote on his Twitter account. "No way he is equally wrong but he does take some accountability.''
Rolle also tweeted: "This is not the same as bullying in school or being a victim of rape. This is an NFL locker room. There are rules and regulations.''
In another tweet, Rolle wrote: "I am very sympathetic for Martin and if he was my teammate that would have never took place. That I can assure. A team is a team of brothers.''
Rolle said he has never been part of a team that crossed the line.
"In my tenure here in professional football I haven't really been through too much, even when I was a rookie, I think the most I've had to do is carry pads, pay for dinners, got thrown in the cold tub once, twice, maybe three times,'' Rolle said on WFAN.
"Other than that it's all about holding your own and understanding that you're going to go through those things as a rookie. As long as it's not taken to a personal level, it's fine and it's accepted. When things get out of hand, as they seem to have done down in Miami, that's when things need to take a different shift.''
Has anything close to what happened to Martin ever happened to Rolle?
"Well, first of all, nothing like that would ever happen to myself because I wouldn't allow it to happen,'' Rolle said, "At this level, you're a man, you're not a little boy, you're not a freshman in college, you're a man. Everything has its limits. There's no way another man is going to make me pay for something I choose not to pay for.''

MANILA, Philippines (AP) – Abu Sayyaf extremists in the Philippines have released a video of the beheading of a German hostage.
The brief video circulated Monday by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi websites, is the first sign that the brutal militants proceeded with their threat to kill Jurgen Gustav Kantner in the southern Philippines after a Sunday ransom deadline lapsed.
The video shows Kantner sitting in a grassy clearing and saying "Now he kill me" shortly before a masked militant beheads him with a curved knife. A few gunmen mutter "Allahu Akbar," or God is great.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Schaefer said German experts were evaluating the video to determine whether it is authentic, but that if it is, it's "deeply shocking."
"It makes you question what can lead people to commit such a barbaric crime, but at the moment I'm not in a position to say whether the video's authentic."
The militants had demanded a ransom of 30 million pesos ($605,000), officials said.
The Philippine military said in November that the Abu Sayyaf claimed its gunmen had kidnapped Kantner and killed a woman sailing with him off neighboring Malaysia's Sabah state.
Villagers reported finding a dead woman lying beside a shotgun on board a light blue yacht with the German flag and marked "Rockall" off Laparan Island in Sulu, the military said. The predominantly Muslim province is where ransom-seeking militants have held many hostages in jungle encampments.
Kantner was also kidnapped by Somali pirates years ago.

What is Place Value?
Ones, Tens, Hundreds
To understand the definition of place value, which according to the Ohio Valley Educational Cooperative is "the value of a digit as determined by its position in a number," it is easiest to understand the first three places left of the decimal point. These are the ones, tens, and hundreds place. Let's take the number 165 as use it as an example.
- The 1 is in the hundreds place.
- The 6 is in the tens place.
- The 5 is in the ones place.
This means that the 1 does not just stand for 1 unit of something. Since it is in the hundreds place, the 1 actually means 100. The 6 does not just mean 6 units; it means 60. Finally, since the 5 is in the ones place, the 5 does stand for 5 units of something. It is important to realize what the different digits actually represent, so that you can understand the value of the number.
Here is another example: 298
- The 2 is in the hundreds place. The 2 stands for 200.
- The 9 is in the tens place. The 9 stands for 90.
- The 8 is in the ones place. The 8 stands for 8.
Knowing the definition of place value and what each digit in a number represents will help you understand the value of any number.
Thousands and Millions
Sometimes when we learn about the definition of place value and discuss larger numbers in the thousands and millions, it can be confusing. Place value does follow a pattern, and this makes it easier to keep track of the value of the digits IF you know the pattern.
Let's look at the thousands places as an example. The first thousands place is simply called thousands. Next comes ten thousands and then hundred thousands. Just like the first three places we mentioned above were ones, tens, and hundreds; the next three are thousands, TEN thousands, and HUNDRED thousands. The only difference and what makes these digits worth more is the thousands added on to the place value. Let's look at this number: 674,128
- The 6 is in the hundred thousands and stands for 600,000.
- The 7 is in the ten thousands and stands for 70,000.
- The 4 is in the thousands and stands for 4,000.
- The 1 is in the hundreds and stands for 100.
- The 2 is in the tens and stands for 20.
- The 8 is in the ones and stands for 8.
So, as you can see with problems where you will be using the definition of place value, if you know the pattern of places, these problems are easier.
Look at the millions places: 715,000,000. They follow the same pattern as the thousands. The 5 is in the millions place. Then the 1 is in the TEN millions place, and the 7 is in the HUNDRED millions place.
Once you know the pattern, you can determine the value and read just about any number!

The difference is in the approach.
For an independent web designer just starting out, finding work may be a daunting proposition. Online job boards are often flooded with people who promise to work for peanuts and deliver on an impossible schedule. Businesses who hire the lowest bidder will most certainly get what they pay for in the long run, but how does a new developer get a foot in the door? How do you gain credibility without an impressive list of references? What would make anyone want to hire you?
One answer is a tried and true advertising staple: find or create a niche. A niche is a specialty or a unique position in marketing. For a web developer, a niche would be a website designed to address the specific needs of some type of business; one that could be marketed to a large number of businesses with similar needs.
Niche marketing is perfect for the web, although it does take a leap of faith. You may have to do a lot of development before the payoff; building the product before you can sell it. But a package deal that appeals to a lot of potential customers can be the fastest way to build a portfolio and a reputation on the web.
- slide 2 of 3
Identify a need.
To find a niche, first consider your skills. Make an honest assessment; deluding yourself won't net customers in the long run. Do you have experience in merchant services, back-end CMS, or member services such as forums and chat rooms? Once you have determined what your capabilities and strengths are, look for a category of business or organization that fits your skill set and develop a website loaded with features to meet their needs.
One good example of niche marketing to consider is HOA (Home Owners Association) websites. HOAs are member organizations and need services that cater to their members and a way to communicate news and information to the neighborhood and potential buyers. A good way to start is by looking at HOAs online and making a list of common features, then expanding on that list to include more than what you can find on the web. Most organizations depend on member interaction, so an HOA website with a social structure at its base would be an easy sell. You might develop a newsletter formatting tool that produces an html output for mailing, a mailing program to send out to all the members, a services directory, an emergency alert mailing program, etc. Figure out what they need and offer it to them.
- slide 3 of 3
Build a better mousetrap.
To create a solid niche for your business, you'll need to build a better mousetrap. Offer more, make it visually appealing, be more accessible, and keep the price reasonable. Consider this: in any given city, there are hundreds of HOAs and many of them are not online. A tiny percentage of that number would generate a great deal of income. If your website is functional, self-serviced and user-friendly, maintenance will be minimal and referrals would be frequent. It just doesn't get any better than that.

- Special offers for your loyal customers once they are logged on;
- Enable discount tables on different products, types or variants;
- Unlimited freedom in configuring your prices;
"A personalized price-tag for your customers and customer groups"
Why Advanced Product Pricing? (APP)
Do you have a steady regular customer base? Do you also sell wholesale products? Or are there specific customer groups that may purchase products at a lower price? It is possible with Advanced Product Pricing. Sort your customers in different groups or configure personalized prices for a specific customer. Once, they are logged onto their account Lightspeed will be prompted to display its price to the specifically configured discount prices.
Looking for a way to expand your discount tables? We also offer this feature, now available for configuration over different product types, variants or even different products. Advanced Product Pricing offers that little extra to make your customer feel special so that they make finalize their purchase with a good feeling.
How does it work?
To cover most methods there are multiple ways to configure prices in the APP.
Default pricelist
This segment covers the prices for your customers for which no special price needs to be set
NOTE: These prices overwrite the default price submitted to Lightspeed E-commerce. We've made this function available so you may configure the prices from APP to your heats desire.
Price per group
Prices based on customer groups can set here. We synchronize customer groups directly from Lightspeed E-commerce. Should a specific customer-group not appear in the list, click the button 'Update groups', we'll update the list with the most recent information.
Price per customer
Should a single customer require custom prices, you're able to use 'Price per customer' to achieve this. On this page you will be presented with a list of all customers that have registered to your web shop and you'll be able to configure the prices for each customer individually.
Price per country
Should the case be that your prices varies between country, you're able to use 'Price per customer'. To prevent abuse we'll screen each purchase on the following points:
- Shipping location which the customer selects during check-out;
- When no shipping location is chosen, we'll select the shipping location selected under the credentials of the customers account;
- If a user is not logged in, we'll select the origin of the user's IP address;
Therefore, it is possible that prices seen in the web shop will vary during check-out due to the shipping location being located elsewhere.
Customers with various price lists
Should a customer be included under multiple price lists, the most specific option will be applied. We'll select an option incrementally in the following order, we select one of these options once a match is found:
- Price per customer;
- Price per group;
- Price per country;
- Default pricelist;
For example: should a customer be included in both 'Price per group' and 'Price per country', then the price list used in 'Price per group' will be used.
Due to the complexity of the code, some features will 'clash' with some minor features of Lightspeed E-commerce, these are: discount rules, product bundles and discount tables. Discount tables however, may be set within the APP.
Should you wish to use 'Price per country' or discount tables for non-registered users it is required to activate an SSL-certificate for your entire site. Please contact us should you wish to make usage of this, we'll contact Lightspeed and arrange this for you.
About us
DotCommerce is an IT company base in Breda (The Netherlands). We are THE partner if it comes down to custom functionality, for both back- and front-end. We like to share some of the amazing stuff we've done for our customers with other shop owners on the Lightspeed platform as well, which is why we started offering apps.

To aid in the recovery and soothing of the area around the lip, Fracassi Lashes applies a soothing agent/cream after all lip waxes.
Your face wax includes a lip wax, a chin wax, an along the sides of the jawline, and depending on the individual, sometimes a quick brow clean up.

Underarm waxing: Some people are nervous about getting this area waxed, but let us assure you that once you try it you will be hooked.

HA NOI — Viet Nam's top badminton player, Nguyen Tien Minh, yesterday failed to top the other two competitors in Group D in the men's singles to progress to the next round in the Olympics in London.
Minh lost 9-21, 14-21 to Parupalli Kashyap from India in the second match.
Although ranked higher than his rival in world standings, Minh couldn't control the first set and was quickly beaten 9-21 in 16 minutes. In the second set, Kashyap always took the lead.
Along with his earlier win over Tan Yuhan from Belgium, Kashyap topped the group to earn the only ticket to the next round.
On Monday, Viet Nam's great hope for an Olympic medal in gymnastics faded as its three hopefuls failed to qualify.
However, vaulter Phan Thi Ha Thanh still has a chance, thanks to the exclusion of one of the Canadian reservists from the finals.
Thanh was 12th in the rankings and should have automatically been out of the Games. (According to the rules, the eight top athletes progress to the finals and three following athletes are put in the reserve list.)
However, as the rules only allow two competitors from each country in the finals, one of the three Canadians, Kristina Vaculik, who came 11th, lost her position.
Thanh was then asked to take her place. The vault final will take place on Sunday.
Thanh ranked 71th out of 82 competitors in the women's floor exercise. She received a total of 12,466 points – 4,900 for difficulty and 7,566 for execution.
In the women's beam, Do Thi Ngan Thuong finished 70th out of 83 athletes. She only earned 11,966 points.
In the women's uneven bars, Thuong came 73rd out of 79 athletes. Her total points were 11,466.
Earlier, Pham Phuoc Hung came 19th among 71 athletes in the men's parallel bars. He received a total of 15,133 points.
His result in men's rings was no better when Hung finished 40th out of 68 athletes. He scored 14,433 points. — VNS

Usually, I'm not CRAZY for American buttercream because of how overly sweet it is, but for this recipe…I think I could make the exception. The important thing to note is, to always use good butter with at least an 80 percent butterfat content. I like to use Darigold's Chef's Choice Salted Butter. It's affordable and you can find it in most grocery stores. It's a European style churned butter and most European butter runs up to 82 percent butterfat content. That'll ensure that your frosting is nice and creamy!!
2 cups of softened, salted butter
1 fork mashed ripened banana(NOT BROWNED)
5 cups of sifted powdered sugar
1/4 tsp of lemon juice powder(or 1-2 tsp of fresh lemon juice)
2 tsp of banana extract
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 tsp of room temperature, heavy cream
Take your softened butter and add it into your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium high for 6 minutes, scraping occasionally. Stop the mixer, and add in your mashed bananas, lemon juice powder, banana extract, and vanilla extract. Continue to beat for 1-2 more minutes. It's okay to see small chunks of banana in it. I think that's a good thing! Stop to scrape the bowl. Turn speed to "stir", and add in your powdered sugar by the cup. Once fully incorporated, turn the speed up to medium and beat until smooth..about 2 more minutes. Add in your heavy cream if you want it slightly creamier.
