Local businesses worry about temp labor laws |
The China Post news staff Saturday, February 8, 2014, 12:06 am TWN |
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Businesses, at least those in Taipei, are worried that a new bill aimed at protecting temporary employees will cost them dearly in terms of competitive power, a business representative said in Taipei yesterday.
Temps, called dispatched workers in Taiwan, will be entitled to equal pay as full-time regular employees if a bill sponsored by the Council of Labor Affairs (CLA) becomes law. Passage of the CLA's draft "Labor Dispatch Protection Law" in its current form would also mean the ratio of dispatched laborers to a user company's regular work force will be capped at 3 percent, a CNA report said, adding violations are punishable by a fine of anywhere between NT$90,000 and NT$450,000. A Taipei Chamber of Commerce official, however, argued yesterday the draft legislation, if it becomes law, will trigger a steep hike in unemployment and get in the way of long-term national economic development, calling the draft legislation an uninformed, hastily conceived document. Wang Ying-chieh (王應傑), chairman of the Taipei Chamber of Commerce board of directors, accused the government of trying to please the electorate with half-baked legislation in an election year at the expense of businesses. "By arbitrarily capping the proportion of dispatched workers without considering differences between different kinds of businesses, the government is simply throwing a monkey wrench into businesses' order-taking calculations," Wang was quoted as saying yesterday. Wang, apparently in favor of a legislation that would allow businesses a free hand in their hiring and use of dispatched workers, said that businesses allowed such flexibility could gauge changes in the country's economic well-being and hire the optimum number of dispatched help accordingly. The Taipei Chamber of Commerce official, however, denied that he was trying to protect his own business interests, saying government and state-owned enterprises hire more dispatched workers than private enterprise. In Taiwan, a dispatched worker is a contract-based worker sent by a dispatched work agency, or a temporary help service, to fulfill a certain assignment at the request of an employer. According to the CNA report, the CLA's purpose in pushing for the passage of the legislation is to protect temporary workers, wean enterprises from their preoccupation with cost when they consider hiring help, and help them rethink their use of manpower. The CLA, after approving the draft legislation at a Feb. 6 council meeting, has promised to continue to exchange views with businesses on the document.

I enjoyed coloring this and working with the purple values and trying to match his colors as closely as possible. I had some trouble coloring the jacket....I tried to go for the leather look without turning it into vinyl XD I really like his belly. It reminds me of concrete with how solid it appears. HEHEe *tickle tickle* I'm very pleased with the final coloring and hope he is also ^_____^ I noticed that (his) left foot and toes are slightly chunkier than the other :/ Est 9 hours Photoshop 7 Whinge © Ninja Weasel Art © Alicia Boros 2005

32gb CF Card
Using 32gb Sandisc Extreme IV 32gb cards for the first time on EOS 7D. Same body, first card accepted over 1100 RAW pics before card full message. Second similar card was took aprox over 1000. I noticed that there were two folders in the card, one with aprox 720 and the second with aprox 250 RAW pics. I was not aware that the 7D did this. On the EOS 20D, a new new file was created every 100 pics or so. Was using Sandisc 4gb Extreme IV CF cards previously.
Any advise?

Thousands of people were expected to return to Cairo's Tahrir Square today as Egypt's revolution continued to wilt under the pressure of renewed street clashes and suspicions about the conduct of the ruling military council.
In a bid to head off growing anti-establishment animosity – which is threatening to tip Egypt towards further bloodshed prior to elections scheduled for September – the government announced that hundreds of police officers would be sacked for alleged roles in killing protesters during the February uprising.
The Interior Ministry said the move would be the biggest shake-up in the department's history, and yesterday a security official was quoted in a state-run newspaper saying it would "change the thinking" of Egypt's police force.
The perception that the ruling military council, which took power after Hosni Mubarak was toppled in February, has been slow to pursue those guilty of ordering and executing attacks on civilians has been one of the major grievances of pro-democracy activists.
According to Emad Gad, an expert from the Al-Ahram Centre for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo, the Interior Ministry's announcement was calculated to assuage public anger ahead of today's nationwide rallies. "I think the army is trying to make its relationship with the people better," he said.

Your Career Coach
Job Hopping
Dear Michele,
I have been at my current job for one year now and have been feeling discontent here for a few months. I think I'm realizing this just isn't the right fit for me. I'm hesitant about looking for a new job, because I have not stayed at one job for too long in my career thus far and don't know how that will be viewed.
My job history is as such: one company for two years, business school for my MBA for years, one company for two years, contract position for four months, this job for one year. Should I try to stay at this job longer, even though I'm not happy here, just because it may look bad to leave so soon?
— Thanks, Job Jumper
Dear Jumper,
It's always a good idea to drill down on why you tend to leave jobs soon. Look at every job you've had and write down the reasons you took the job, and why you left the job. Any consistencies? Such as, "the boss was a jerk" in two or three jobs, or "I couldn't get promoted" in a couple?
Let me give you some tough love: if you have a recurring problem in your workplaces, the common denominator — the thing that's been consistent — is you, honey. Do you know what you want in a job? Are you evaluating the positions carefully enough? Are you taking the right jobs? Do you have the kind of communication skills that make surviving in a workplace possible?
Best suggestion — hire a qualified and experienced coach to help you assess your work history and teach you some tools and tactics to create success at work.

Removes of SVY21 gem
I am one of the author of this gem and cause a newbie mistake of creating the gem with its name in all caps.
I have since push a new gem that fixed the issue and would like to remove this gem instead.
Thanks for your help!
Our policy is to only perma-delete gems that really need it, such as gems that may contain passwords, malicious/harmful code, etc. Yanking a gem effectively removes it from being found.

Automotive Digital Marketing ProCom
Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
Recently, I called out a couple of vendors for selling a sub par product. I thought about it and decided that if my own services can't stand up to that level of scrutiny, I have no business telling anyone else what they should do about their service. So over the weekend, I tore apart every thing we do for our clients – Top to bottom; report after report. You know what I found? Something we sell SUCKS and it is completely UNACCEPTABLE.
I have to admit, they pulled me in and talked that sweet Google talk about how awesome Google+ was going to be. The unbelievable growth. It was going to catch and usurp Facebook. But even if you didn't believe that, they said +1′s were going to effect SEO in a B I G Googly Google kind of way.
So we jumped on the band wagon early. Told all our clients they need to get on this Google + wagon because it was going to give them this big SEO edge and that Google had positioned it so that you HAD to be there if you were going to be relevant. And after all this time and all this focus on Google +, you know who is on Google +? Marketers. Millions of marketers all happy about their +1′s and how many circles their in and the only people in their circles are more marketers like us! What a SHAM! Forget about the business of Fake likes or twitter followers, this whole Google + platform may as well be FAKE!
So what is Wikimotive doing about it? We are TERMINATING all Google + Services immediately. We have informed our clients and are offering to replace their service with another of equal value or simply reducing their monthly expense by the cost of the Google + service we were providing. In some cases that means losing a client. But I would rather lose a client than keep taking money from a dealer if we can't substantiate ROI.
We'll keep monitoring Google + and if it ever becomes useful at all. We'll be the first to let you know. In the meantime, ask yourself this question. Would my vendor stop taking my money if they knew something they were selling me didn't work?
Original article about Google+ posted on Wikimotive's blog under the title Our Service Sucks, So We're Throwing It Out!
I never really thought about Google+ that way but I guess if I were an everyday consumer I wouldn't be using Google+ as actively as I do because I am a marketing Professional. Are there consumers that actively use Google+ right now who can be influenced? How often did you suggest posting? However, I do believe that SEO will eventually pull from Google+ and I think if you are logged in to a google account your results are already affected by these changes within circles > networks. Its all a gamble - would love more thoughts!
So true about the relevance of Google+. Sure there are a handful of people who have a huge following and make the platform seem relevant, but if you look at it, most of those people are in technology or marketing. As for search, I'm set to see a significant shift as a result of using G+. Instead, Google+ Local seems to be gathering strength. If you want to do something to take over another page 1 position, make sure your Local listing is filled out completely and properly.

Sooooo fluffy! These little Siberian Husky pups are a bundle of energy and fur. I feel like I would have to live somewhere that doesn't get above 70 degrees to keep one of these guys. And a lot of land. Don't you just want to pick one up and cuddle him? Can I also say how much I love they're little hops and the way that they still walk in an uncoordinated way. Ah, youth!

10 Tips to Spring Clean Your Network
- 1 of
10 Tips to Spring Clean Your Network
By Karen A. Frenkel -
File Away Old Data
Don't let old, unnecessary data clog your network and slow you down. Set aside time each quarter to file anything on your network you aren't actively using. -
Monitor Your Bandwidth
As you tidy up your network, identify when more space is required. You may have had enough bandwidth to meet your requirements two years ago, but needs shift over time. -
Tighten Your Security
Make sure your employees are implementing best practices around password creation and use, and multi-factor authentication. Centralize user management and single sign-on. Ensure that access to critical data is limited. -
Make Critical Updates and Patches
Updates and patches are equally important to your overall security plan. More than one-half of all breaches occur because the organization failed to patch a known security vulnerability. -
Archive Old Files and Emails
Nothing is quite as frustrating as a full inbox. Make sure you are archiving old emails and deleting big files you no longer need Automating deletion based upon preset rules is even better. -
Disconnect Old Devices
Devices that are no longer in use, such as fax machines, copiers and phones, can hugely strain your network and represent potential vulnerability points. Disconnect any device that is no longer in use. -
Clean Up Sloppy Servers
Like closets, servers can become cluttered, unwieldy and completely disorganized. When cleaning up your network, make sure to organize your servers and their contents in a systematic way. -
Clean Up Your Wi-Fi Connections
How many Wi-Fi signals does your organization support? How many points of connection exist and where do they lead? Make sure you know the answer to these questions and shut down wi-fi connections no longer in use or needed. -
Disconnected Network Drives
Nothing can be quite as frustrating for IT as network drives that don't connect. Make sure you have mapped them correctly so that they connect automatically upon reboot. -
Network Traffic
A great way to ensure that your network is not cluttered with junk is to filter it before it gets onto your network. Use tools that can block unwanted emails and data before they ever gain access to your network. -

When it comes to spring cleaning, most people make order in their homes but overlook the place that needs the most attention: their office. It's not just the paperwork and business cards that build up and get in the way of productivity, it's files and excess data on corporate networks that negatively impact productivity and pose security risks to the organization. Paul Castiglione, senior manager of Product Marketing at Ipswitch, provides 10 tips to help spring clean your network. Ipswitch makes software to monitor networks, applications and servers, and transfer files between systems, business partners and customers.

The economic crisis is taking its toll on every corner of the nation, sometimes in unbelievable ways. One suburban Detroit school district is going to start charging teachers for electricity: 32 bucks to plug in a personal coffee pot – $182 for a mini-fridge.
Their schools, like so many others in America, are low on cash, and have already resorted to layoffs and hiring freezes. The reason: State budgets are strapped. Higher unemployment means lower income tax revenue, and empty stores mean less cash from sales tax.
Three-quarters of the states are facing deficits next year: six billion dollars here in New York, five billion in Florida, $26 billion in California.
This serious crisis calls for creative solutions, no doubt. I'd just hate to be that teacher paying $182 to chill the brown bag lunch I brought to work … in order to save money.

Jennifer Lawrence Is Like A Living, Breathing Chili's Restaurant
Jennifer Lawrence is back with more interview GEMS.
Glamour has released a video to go along with J-Lawââ¬â¢s slutty-power-lesbian cover story, and of course, it's hilarious.àHere are some highlights from the video, which you can watch in its entirety below!
Her signature scent: ââ¬ÅRed wine. Iââ¬â¢m sure itââ¬â¢s always seeping from my pores. I smell like a Cabernet.ââ¬Â
Her favorite curse word: ââ¬ÅFââ¬âkeryââ¬Â¦ I feel like everyone gets that. This is a bunch of fââ¬âkery. Itââ¬â¢s not technically a word, but it makes complete sense. And it comes out of my mouth a lot.ââ¬Â
Her advice for her middle-school self. ââ¬ÅSchool is hard, being a teenager is awful, I wouldnââ¬â¢t go back in time for anything. So I guess I would just say, this is gonna suck. Thereââ¬â¢s nothing you can do about it, but you will grow out of it one day and become an adult, and everything will be better. But! You get zits your whole life. Nobody ever tells you that.ââ¬Â
Her favorite food invention: ââ¬ÅItââ¬â¢s called a chili pizza sandwich. You have a piece of pizza and you put chili in it, noodles in it, like southern chili, and then another piece of pizza and then you eat it like a sandwich. And I was totally sober. Completely sober.ââ¬Â
Tell us what you think of the video, BELOW!

No joshing about Gibson's talents By Larry Schwartz Special to ESPN.com Often it is difficult to distinguish fact from fiction -- especially regarding statistics -- when it comes to players of the Negro League. But there is no disputing the accomplishments of Josh Gibson, whose batting feats are legendary. Voted into the Hall of Fame in 1972 by the Committee on Negro Baseball Leagues, the right-handed hitting catcher never received the opportunity to show his stuff in the major leagues because he was an African-American. He died at the age of 35 in early 1947, three months before Jackie Robinson made his historic major-league debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Gibson is often referred to as the black Babe Ruth for his ability to hit tape-measure homers, and he also hit for incredibly high averages. "He hits the ball a mile," Hall of Famer Walter Johnson, the Washington Senators pitcher who won 416 games, said of Gibson. Satchel Paige, who was Gibson's teammate on the Pittsburgh Crawfords and later pitched for the Cleveland Indians, said, "He was the greatest hitter who ever lived." In various publications, the 6-foot-1, 215-pounder has been credited with as many as 84 homers in one season. His Hall of Fame plaque says he hit "almost 800" homers in his 17-year career. His lifetime batting average was higher than .350, with one book putting it at .384, best in Negro League history. It was reported that he won nine home-run titles and four batting championships playing for the Crawfords and the Homestead Grays. In two seasons in the late 1930s, it was written that not only did he hit higher than .400, but his slugging percentage was above 1.000. Belting home runs of more than 500 feet was not unusual for Gibson. One homer in Monessen, Pa., reportedly was measured at 575 feet. The Sporting News of June 3, 1967 credits Gibson with a home run in a Negro League game at Yankee Stadium that struck two feet from the top of the wall circling the center field bleachers, about 580 feet from home plate. Although it has never been conclusively proven, Chicago American Giants infielder Jack Marshall said Gibson slugged one over the third deck next to the left field bullpen in 1934 for the only fair ball hit out of the House That Ruth Built. Gibson was born Dec. 21, 1911 in Buena Vista, Ga., and his family reportedly moved to Pittsburgh in the 1920s. By the time he was a teenager, Gibson was playing semipro baseball. His professional career began at the age of 18 under unusual circumstances. With the Grays and Kansas City Monarchs playing a night game under a portable lighting system in Pittsburgh in 1930, the Grays catcher suffered an injury to his hand, according to the book "The Ballplayers." Homestead manager Judy Johnson, who knew of Gibson's reputation as a terrific semipro player, went into the stands looking for the 18-year-old. "I asked him if he wanted to catch and he said 'yes, sir,' so we had to hold up the game while he went and put on Buck Ewing's uniform," Johnson said. "We signed him the next day." Gibson played for the Grays the rest of that season and 1931, before jumping to the Crawfords and winning three home-run titles in five seasons. He caught Paige in 1936 to form the most popular battery in African-American history. After starting 1937 in the Dominican Republic, he returned in the summer to play for the Grays. He won two more home-run titles, in 1938 and 1939, as well as a batting championship in 1938. There are stories that the Senators and Pittsburgh Pirates considered giving the powerful catcher a tryout in the late '30s, but because of the color of his skin he was never granted the opportunity. In 1940 and 1941, he chose to play south of the border, undoubtedly because of greater financial rewards. After starring for Vera Cruz of the Mexican League, he played in the Puerto Rican Winter League, earning Most Valuable Player honors and a batting title. Gibson was forced to abandon the Mexican League and return to the Grays in 1942 after the team's owner, Cum Posey, hit him with a lawsuit. Gibson led the Negro League in hitting and home runs. Early the next year, Gibson suffered a brain tumor that put him in a coma. When he awoke, doctors wanted to operate. But Gibson wouldn't let them, fearing that surgery would leave him a vegetable. Despite recurring headaches and a drinking problem, he continued to tear apart the Negro League, winning two more batting crowns and three more home-run titles in the next four seasons. Although he was mediocre defensively early in his career, he improved through the years. Teammate Cool Papa Bell, who also was voted into the Hall of Fame, said Gibson was a good catcher, had a strong arm and was a good handler of pitchers but had difficulty on pop fouls. "The Ballplayers" recites this story of the black Babe Ruth's last day: "On Jan. 20, 1947, Gibson told his mother that he was going to die that night. She laughed, but told him to go to bed and that she would call a doctor. With his family gathered around him, Gibson asked for his baseball trophies to be brought to his bedside. He was laughing and talking when he suddenly sat straight up, had a stroke and died." Send this story to a friend | Most sent stories |

China/United States Sino Agro Food Hires Dr. Anthony Ostrowski
Sino Agro Food, Inc. (SIAF), an integrated, diversified agriculture technology and organic food company with principal operations in the People's Republic of China, has hired Dr. Anthony C. Ostrowski as Chief Scientific Officer to head its R&D and Product Certification Division. Many of you will remember "Tony" as director of the United States Marine Shrimp Farming Program at the Oceanic Institute and later as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Oceanic Institute from 2009 to 2012. Most recently, he was general manager and CEO of Wanshida Ocean Bio-tech, Ltd., a Chinese aquaculture R&D firm located in Yangjiang, China. He will represent SIAF at aquaculture and food product conferences and in trade and professional journals. "SIAF understands the future and is on the cutting edge of an evolution in the aquaculture industry," said Ostrowski. "I believe the company's indoor RAS technology is second to none and is a cornerstone of a sound, vertically integrated farm-to-plate business model that targets food security, safety, and sustainability. My mandate is to help take the company to the next level of achievement in both quality and scope, starting with the Zhongshan project [below]. The scale of Mr. Lee's vision [below, Simon Lee, CEO, Sino Agro Food] for the project is unprecedented. There is no better region than China in which to emphasize the importance of sustainability. I am very grateful for this opportunity to help the company become a leader in global aquaculture." The primary mission of the R&D and Certification Division is to support the company's products with science and branding. The Division plans to implement third-party certification and a product traceability program based on internationally accepted best practices and management standards. As a member of the Board of the Aquaculture Certification Council from 2007-2012, Ostrowski advised on Best Aquaculture Practices and activities to meet global certification for shrimp and fish hatcheries, growout facilities and feed mills. He promoted food safety and sustainable production practices that were biologically, environmentally and socially responsible. SIAF's new Certification Division will be managed as a profit center, with new technologies, products and services for sale to domestic and international organizations. Solomon Lee, Sino Agro Food's Chief Executive Officer, said, "The Zhongshan New Prawn Project [more information below] is a model user of sustainable and holistic, green management practices in one of the most densely urbanized regions of the world. As far as we know, the project is the largest indoor aquaculture development in the world. For many reasons, scale is important for our corporate mission. ...I am confident that Dr. Ostrowski will further our aims, not only for our company, but also for the broader goal of improving processes to meet the ever increasing need for healthier food everywhere." SIAF's new Zhongshan Prawn Project is projected to deliver 10,000 metric tons of prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) at the end of its first phase of development. Construction on the first phase began during the first quarter of 2014 at a 1,300-acre site. For the latest information on the Zhongshan New Prawn Project, click here. Sino Agro Food, Inc. is an agriculture technology and natural food holding company with principal operations in the People's Republic of China. It acquires and maintains equity stakes in the companies that it forms, companies that are in accord with its core mission to produce, distribute, market and sell natural sustainable protein food, primarily seafood and beef, to the rapidly growing middle class in China. It provides financial oversight and strategic direction for each company and for the interoperation between companies. It owns or licenses patents, proprietary methods and other intellectual properties in its areas of expertise. It provides consulting and services to joint venture partners to construct and operate food businesses producing protein foods. It also forms joint ventures to market and distribute wholesale products as part of an overall "farm to table" concept and business strategy.

It looks like an ordinary 250 volt polyester / aluminium non-polarised cap. The value is blurry, but by the size it is probably in the range 0.5uF to 2 uF.
It doesn't seem to have markings for metallised poly types (eg. MKT, MKP, MMK, PP). It would be OK for audio coupling, eg. anode to following grid where V+ is <= 250 volts, or in a low voltage circuit.

Its a 10µF 250v. The salesman gave me when i ask for a metallised cap. Can you compare it with a MKT because i have 4.7µF Philips MKTs. But i cannot find more capacity of MKT and somebody (AndrewT) said "use 10µF for subwoofer amp DC blocking"
Should i use that one or my Philips 4.7µ MKT? |

FAYENCE, France (AP) — Simon Yates peeled away on the final climb of the day to win the sixth stage of the Paris-Nice, while Julian Alaphilippe retained the lead on Friday.
Yates moved into overall contention, but the British rider remains 1 minute, 37 seconds behind Alaphilippe with two climbing stages remaining.
"I was quite far back in the general classification this morning, which gave me a bit of freedom," Yates said. "I thought the other riders would follow me when I attacked, but I found myself all alone. At that point there was only one thing to do: Go for it. I will try and attack again tomorrow."
The 193.5-kilometer (112-mile) trek from Aubagne to Fayence featured three category 1 climbs, the second toughest under race classification.
At least riders did not have bad weather to contend with, and Yates thumped his chest as he crossed the line with the sun shining in southern France.
He cleared the day's three steepest climbs by the time he got to the short but sharp climb up to Fayence, and had enough of a lead to cross the line comfortably ahead. The Orica-Scott team rider clocked a winning time of 4 1/2 hours.
The chasing riders left it too late, with two-time champion Richie Porte of Australia (BMC Racing) and then Sergio Henao of Colombia (Team SKY) launching strong attacks up Fayence but running out of time to catch Yates.
Those two were both injured in a crash-marred road race at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, with Henao breaking his pelvis and Porte breaking his shoulder blade.
Henao crossed the line 17 seconds behind Yates, while Porte was 26 seconds behind in fourth. Alaphilippe was :29 back in fourth, while two-time champion Alberto Contador of Spain was :32 behind in eighth spot.
In the overall standings, Alaphilippe is 36 seconds ahead of French countryman Tony Gallopin and 46 ahead of Henao.
Contador is lurking 1:34 back in seventh overall and will likely attack on Saturday's seventh stage.
The 177-kilometer (110-mile) route starts from Nice and finishes with an ascent up Col de la Couillole, the third and final of the day's three category 1 climbs.
There will be two more category 1 climbs on Sunday's final stage, which ends with a downhill finish to Nice.

'Captain Marvel' Rumor: Carol Danvers Is Already Secretly Cast
'Captain Marvel' Rumor: Carol Danvers Is Already Secretly Cast
Two years ago, back when Marvel Studios was in the business of releasing "Marvel One-Shot" short films alongside home video releases of their feature films, Marvel co-president Louis D'Esposito expressed interest in eventually making one to introduce Ms. Marvel. These shorts have since disappeared as Marvel's resources are allocated towards expanding their feature production slate and television projects, and the character known as Carol Danvers will instead get her beginnings on the big screen.
Marvel Studios president of production Kevin Feige announced in the fall that Danvers will be getting her own feature film in 2018 as she takes up the mantle of Captain Marvel – just as she's done in Marvel Comics (another character has become Ms. Marvel). According to rumors, old and new however, moviegoers may meet Danvers much sooner.
*Warning: What lays ahead can be considered spoilers for character appearances in upcoming Marvel movies*
Nearly a year ago, when production was about to begin on Avengers: Age of Ultron, rumors about early drafts of writer and director Joss Whedon's script indicated that there would be a few important new characters beyond the heroes and villains we had already heard about (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, etc.). We knew Paul Bettany was undergoing costume tests to play Vision (which he is) but Ms. Marvel was also namedropped from insiders as a character who could get a cameo.
It's been reported more than once that Ms. Marvel could show up in Avengers 2and it coincided with rumors claiming that the end of the sequel would see Captain America recruiting several new faces who could have a large role to play in Phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to LR's Umberto Gonzalez, he has a (self-admittedly unconfirmed) rumor that Danvers is already cast.
If true, and given the careful words used to downplay the certainty of this rumor, it may not be, then Danvers will absolutely show up in Age of Ultron first. The Avengers 2 is Marvel's biggest event yet, and also their biggest marketing and branding tool. With so many new properties and new characters debuting in theaters (and on TV via Netflix) in the next few years, Marvel will aim to setup at least a few of them with that tool. It's the same reason speculation points towards Age of Ultron including a post-credits button to introduce the next Peter Parker/Spider-Man before he returns next year in Captain America: Civil War.
Of course, if we do meet Danvers, it's likely be well before she becomes "Captain Marvel." Before she came in contact with a Kree alien and Kree tech (the same aliens featured in Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) in the comics, Carol Danvers was an ordinary human working at a US Air Force base. An accident involving the alien tech gives her super powers and Danvers becomes Ms. Marvel, and decades later in the current stories, she's taken the "Captain Marvel" title after several other cosmic characters did. Danvers is a co-leader and staple of more recent Avengers stories and crossover events, and she even had an important guest appearance in Guardians of the Galaxy. The latter of which forced GOTG writer-director James Gunn to address whether or not Captain Marvel would be in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
And keeping on the topic of Marvel's cosmic side, LR's source also claims that Jim Starlin, creator of characters including Captain Marvel and Thanos, will serve as a consultant on the Captain Marvel movie. Starlin made a few headlines after The Avengers first hit theaters and introduce Thanos since Marvel didn't pay him for his of his creations or even invite him to see the movie. He has since confirmed Marvel made a deal with him which explains why he might be brought into the fold in a limited capacity.
Marvel's "Avengers: Age of Ultron" stars Robert Downey Jr., who returns as Iron Man, along with Chris Evans as Captain America, Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. Together with Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, and with the additional support of Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine, Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill and Stellan Skarsgård as Erik Selvig, the team must reassemble to defeat James Spader as Ultron, a terrifying technological villain hell-bent on human extinction. Along the way, they confront two mysterious and powerful newcomers, Wanda Maximoff, played by Elizabeth Olsen, and Pietro Maximoff, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and meet an old friend in a new form when Paul Bettany becomes Vision.
The Avengers: Age of Ultron releases in theaters on May 1 2015, followed by Ant-Man on July 17 2015, Captain America: Civil War on May 6 2016, Doctor Strange on November 4 2016, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on May 5 2017, Spider-Man on July 28, 2017, Thor: Ragnarok on November 3 2017, Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1 on May 4 2018, Black Panther on July 6 2018, Captain Marvel on November 2 2018, Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2 on May 3 2019 and Inhumans on July 12, 2019.

Khan Noonien Singh
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
- For other meanings see Khan (disambiguation)
"That's one funky-ass white man... AND he never forgets a face!"
Khan Noonien Singh, commonly shortened to KHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!, is a genetically engineered superhuman from Star Trek. Born in the Sixties in India, Khan graduated from the University of Calcutta when he was 3 years old. In 1992, he tried to take over the world in a world devastating conflict that took 30 Million lives. No one cares though, as they were watching Seinfeld and Urkel every day.
Khan also sported a Mk III plastic chest, with the chest hair deleted and the realistic nipples, making him very popular with the ladies.
edit His time in the 23rd Century
After failing to take over the world, Khan went into the future, beat up James T. Kirk, twice. The main reason was that he could not stand Kirk's good looks. Kirk beat him back, and sent him on a desert planet called Dune. There Khan took a wife, bore a child, well-oiled British dynamo Zubair Khan, led a successful invasion and defeated the evil Baron Harrkonen. However, his wife was eaten by a giant sandworm after she was playing Dance Dance Revolution in the desert. In anger, Khan blamed Kirk for his wife's death. After hijacking a ship, killing a lot of people, and really messing up the Enterprise, Khan was defeated by Kirk in a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Khan was believed to be destroyed after failing to disarm a terraforming device. In anger for failing to disarm the device, Kirk yelled "KHANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
edit Later Life
Khan was presumably destroyed. In reality, Khan was sent to another Universe, due to the explosion ripping a hole in space-time and shoving him through. Because of the effects of going into another universe, he de-aged and became 16 years of age and more good looking. But he became more of a wuss as well. He returned to Earth, changed his name to Kira Yamato, and tried to live a normal life.
However, another war between genetic engineered humans and normal humans began. Instead of using tanks, the scientists decided that physics-breaking mecha called mobile suits were cooler to use in combat. Khan (now Kira), tried to stay out of the conflict. But while stalking a pretty, insane girl named Flay Allster, he accidentally gets involved in the war. He gets kidnapped by a young, pretty soldier to pilot a mecha called a Gundam. He also gets his friends accidentally drafted.
Khan is often confused with Kane of Command and Conquer. There are similarities: both are super-smart super-villains with a extreme hate of Captain Kirk (Kane is a big Picard fan), as well as having the hobby of watching exploding whales. Both are also pretty damn fine looking too.

ST. PETERSBURG (CBSMiami/AP) — A lawsuit was filed by Florida officials who were been blocked during attempts to inspect federal Veterans Affairs hospitals in the state.
The lawsuit is aimed at giving officials access as they seek to confirm allegations of substandard care.
The state Agency for Health Care Administration filed suit in a federal court in Tampa, on the same day that Acting federal VA Secretary Sloan Gibson announced the agency will release nationwide data on patient wait times next week. Gibson made the announcement Thursday during a visit to the Phoenix health care facility that was the initial focus of recent widespread complaints over veterans and wait times.
Florida health officials made several unannounced visits to inspect Florida's six VA hospitals and other VA-operated facilities in April and May. VA officials blocked them each time. In letters to Gov. Rick Scott and the state agency's secretary, Elizabeth Dudek, they said that federal facilities aren't subject to state laws.
The lawsuit also says the VA has not responded to Freedom of Information Act requests.
"The VA's refusal to permit any such inspection or respond to FOIA public records requests, in the face of an ever-growing body of consumer complaint evidence, has led AHCA to be reasonably concerned that the VA is failing the very population it is charged by Congress with protecting: America's veterans and their families," the lawsuit said, using the acronym for the state agency.
The VA's public affairs office did not immediately return a telephone call or email requesting comment.
The state visited VA hospitals in West Palm Beach, Bay Pines, Miami, Lake City, Gainesville and Tampa in April and returned to the Gainesville hospital in May.
One of the plaintiffs listed in the lawsuit is Nancy Hall, who served in the U.S. Army from 1984 until 1987, when she was honorably discharged. She received VA-funded hospital care and medical services at the James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa.
The lawsuit states that Hall experienced "substantial" delays in receiving treatment, especially on nights and weekends. Hall's husband, also a veteran, was diagnosed with tongue cancer and died in 2005.
"After determining his cancer was terminal, Haley VA Medical Center employees apologized to Hall for not treating her husband's cancer aggressively enough," the lawsuit said. "According to Hall, the treatment of her husband's cancer felt as though the medical staff were simply 'going through the motions.' "
Another plaintiff, Roland Dickerson, received care at Bay Pines VA Healthcare System in St. Petersburg. The Army veteran has chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, post-traumatic stress disorder, and heart problems, and was required to undergo emergency bypass surgery at Tampa General Hospital, a non-VA hospital, the lawsuit said.
Before going to that hospital, Dickerson tried to obtain treatment at another, non-VA hospital but was told that the hospital would not treat him due to "previous poor medical care at Bay Pines."
"As a result of the poor care Dickerson has received at Bay Pines VA Medical Center, Dickerson's wife has resorted to buying costly private insurance so that Dickerson may receive quality medical treatment at non-VA facilities outside the St. Petersburg area," the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit says that state health officials "have an unambiguous statutory duty to investigate complaints relating to violation of Florida public health and safety laws, and to inspect hospitals that are the subject of such complaints."
Against the backdrop of nationwide concerns with veterans' care, some members of Florida's congressional delegation have asked local VA hospitals about wait times and secret waiting lists. One VA facility in Chicago is facing allegations that its staff used such lists to conceal long patient wait times for appointments.
Congressman David Jolly, R-Florida, sent a letter to the director of Bay Pines, asking if there are secret lists at the facility.
"I have no awareness to a 'secret list' and have been proactive with my engagement of leaders and staff regarding my expectations of transparency, accountability and responsibility," Bay Pines Director Suzanne Klinker wrote Thursday.

I love my son, he's great. But when he picks up the iPad I have a number of concerns…
1 – Chocolate, like, everywhere.
2 – At least six thousand games will be installed. All have something to do with jewels.
3 – The battery will be flat.
So, the new Galaxy Tab 3 Kids is here to address some of those concerns. It'll be available tomorrow online and from November 8th in stores.
Inside there's a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, 1GB RAM and… well, if you like your cool, sexy, beautiful Samsung devices, prepare to squint your eyes and say, "Eeeuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu………."
Yes, it's available in a "bright and interesting" colour, but inside there's a stack of pre-loaded "kid friendly" content to keep your kids entertained and educated at the same time. Not only that, but there's also a Kids Store where you can get a range of apps that are suitable for children.
The Galaxy Tab 3 Kids also includes a time-management function to ensure that your child doesn't go rectangular-eyed* and you can control which apps your child can access too. Nice huh?
Press release below, or dive into the gallery..
* – Remember your parents telling you that you'd go square-eyed? Well, screeens aren't square any more :)

Okay what is this City ID app? Its always turned on in my task killer and I dont even know what it is or use it. Can anyone help, I tried unistalling it but it wont let me.
I noticed the same thing... It's on the phone by default even though it's a 14-day trial of a paid program. I can't remove this from my phone, it won't even appear in any uninstall programs. Very aggravating that they would force you to keep a trial of a paid program on your phone. If anyone has any idea as to how we can remove it (without rooting), please let us know.
I don't see a way to uninstall it either. I actually want it but it should be uninstallable for those that don't.
When someone calls you it will tell you the city, state associated with that phone number as well. So when the task killer closes it, next time someone calls you it will activate city ID again.
Is there any reason to keep it if you don't expect to pay for the pro version though? If it did what it says it does and it was free to use, I would have no issues with it. Putting a trial version of payware on a phone and making it so it can't be uninstalled is ridiculous, imo.
I really thought the app was clever and like seeing the city/state id coming up for incoming calls. The really annoying thing is that somehow the developers feel this app deserves the $1.99 per month subscription! If it were a one time fee they would get that easily but every month, gezzzz.
Lame. I want to uninstall this app on principle alone... Found at least one free app from the market that does the exact same thing.
Anyone figure a way to uninstall it yet? I have tried Uninstaller and it hasn't worked. There are other uninstaller apps. I know we "theoretically" should be able to get rid of it once the phone is rooted......by going through the directories manually... But until then.....
Even using Astro, /system/app you then have the option once you click on it to select "uninstall" but it fails... I've got no idea.
Where does it talk about it being a trial? I noticed it running and I like the feature it provides, but I can't find anything about paying for it.
Its not even right on mine. Mine and my wifes phones and our house line are based in philly. They didnt have any of the usually philly area codes so ours is a little different. Instead of philly it shows us as Doylestown so this thing is pointless. I found it near the bottom in Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications but can't find a way to uninstall it from there.
It's actually kinda funny. I'm reading this thread and my phone rings. After I ended the call, I got a full screen display that says somethinig to the effect of you are currently using CityID app on a free trial (with a logo). It then had two button options at the bottom: Subscribe or continue my 15-day trial. I'm guessing after 15 days it'll ask you to subscribe or remove. Doesn't seem like it will force you into using it.
Just noticed it's only a trial and $3/mo after that. I don't know who worked on the pricing for the service but at $3/mo, I don't believe there will be too many takers. Just IMHO. Will appreciate any help in uninstalling it.
I'd like to know this as well. I don't want this thing spamming me in a month telling me to subscribe.
if you have advanced task manager, you can use that app to uninstall other apps on the phone including city ID
Nope. Have tried several different apps and not found one that works, Advanced Task Manager is among that list. Granted, I used the ad supported free version, but as far as I know, there shouldn't be a difference. I can't seem to get rid of VVM or City ID. =(
