text: Spider-Woman last edited by DA25AK02 on 11/18/20 07:15PM View full history OriginJessica Drew introduces herselfJessica Miriam Drew's parents were Jonathan and Miriam Drew, two scientists whose life's work was dedicated to harnessing the environmental adaptive abilities of spiders by grafting elements of their DNA into the human genome. Prior to Jessica's birth, the pair moved to Wundagore Mountain to conduct their research with funding from HYDRA, under the auspices of General Wyndham. While working on these experiments Jessica's mother was hit by a laser beam containing the DNA, and subsequent physical traits, of several species of spiders. The unborn Jessica, still in her mother's womb, took on these traits giving her a variety of spider powers. Jessica's parents disappeared under mysterious circumstances, leaving her to be raised on Mount Wundagore by a woman named Bova. Jessica was later recruited by HYDRA under the false pretense of HYDRA being a force for good in the world. There she was trained by Taskmaster in martial arts and the effective use of her powers to become a deadly assassin.CreationSpider-Woman - First AppearanceSpider-woman made her first appearance in Marvel Spotlight #32 in 1977. She was created by Archie Goodwin, Sal Buscema and Jim Mooney. She had a brief run of popularity in the 1970s, including her own regular comics-series Spider-Woman (lasting 50 issues until 1983) and a cartoon-series in 1979, but she was later depowered and then only made sporadic appearances for many years until a revival in the early 21st century as a member of the New Avengers and then the full Avengers team.Character EvolutionTaskmaster taught Jessica most of her skillsIn the original version of Jessica's origin, she was the daughter of Jonathan and Merriam Drew, born in London, England and at a young age, she was lethally poisoned by radiation while living near Mount Wundagore in Transia. To try to save her life, her father injected her with an experimental serum based on irradiated spiders' blood. Because the serum did not have any apparent effect on her, Henry Wyndham (later known as the High Evolutionary) placed her in a genetic accelerator that slowed her aging.Eventually HYDRA, under the control of Count Otto Vermis, found and recruited her as a HYDRA agent. They manipulated her, giving her a fake boyfriend who then died. She was trained rigorously (and abusively) by Taskmaster. Through brainwashing and manipulation, she was convinced she was not human but actually an evolved spider. During this time, she went by the alias of Arachne. As a HYDRA agent she battled Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D., until Jessica learned HYDRA's true nature.In the new version of her history, Otto Vermis, who originally recruited her into HYDRA, was instead an old, retired HYDRA agent who Jessica seduced in order to gain information to lead her to her mother. Also, Jessica's father was never possessed by the spirit of the Sixth Century magician Magnus, although this change created some confusion over why Magnus, decades later, would help Jessica in many of her adventures.Several other characters have held the mantle of Spider-Woman. Julia Carpenter appeared during the first Secret Wars crossover and held the title for a while. Mattie Franklin also acquired powers and became Spider-Woman for a time. A villain named Charlotte Witter genetically modified by Dr Octopus also named herself Spider-Woman and Queen Veranke posed as Spider-Woman during the Secret Invasion storyline.Major Story ArcsBecoming the Spider-WomanSpider-Woman's original cowled costumeGoing by the name Spider-Woman, Jessica used her new identity to track down her father's killer, starting her search in London. During this time Jessica was recaptured by HYDRA and brainwashed into working for them. This brought her into direct conflict with Ben Grimm. After HYDRA's brainwashing was reversed, she battled magical elements alongside the Thing and Modred the Mystic.Jessica battled Excalibur, an agent of Morgan Le Fay, and then came into contact with Morgan's arch nemesis, the sorcerer Magnus. Magnus would become one of her strongest allies, later providing information leading Jessica to relocate with him to Los Angeles and begin her career as a costumed crime fighter. While in Los Angeles, Jessica encountered Morgan Le Fay's ghost and also tracked down her father's murderers. Jessica was pursued at this time by S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jerry Hunt, who followed her to Los Angeles, to begin a romantic relationship with her.Spider-Woman versus NekraIn her early days as Spider-Woman, Jessica chose to keep her presence in Los Angeles a secret. She fought super-powered foes such as the Brothers Grimm, Hangman, the Enforcer, the Needle, Hammer and Anvil, Nekra, the Silver Samurai, Viper, Gypsy Moth, and the Waxman, and made allies such as Werewolf by Night and the Shroud.Jessica also sought to discover the true nature of her pheromones, which appeared to produce a strong sexual attraction from men and repulsion from women. Her search led her to the Hatros Institute and her first true job. Working as a secretary, she was able to gain free medical treatment to suppress her pheromones so that she could move effectively among people without producing any unwanted side-effects. Alongside the Shroud, she battled the above mentioned Nekra and the cult of Kali, and learned of her pheromone secretions. The culmination of her time at the Hatros Institute led Jessica to her encounter with Nekra, and the loss of her job.Bounty Hunter and P.I.Unemployed, Jessica briefly considered stealing, but at the last moment decided against it. She came into contact with Spider-Man, who advised her to use her unique talents to help others in need. Jessica chose to heed his advice and became a bounty hunter. She worked closely with former FBI specialist, Scotty McDowell, who later became the Hornet. When their working relationship failed, Jessica moved to San Francisco with her best friend Lindsay McCabe, where she set up a practice as a licensed private investigator. On her first assignment, she battled Siryn, Black Tom Cassidy, and the Juggernaut alongside the X-Men. She also battled Morgan Le Fay once again.Spider-Woman battles ViperWhile working as a P.I., Jessica crossed paths with the Viper and the Silver Samurai, who were planning to release a deadly virus contained within a man named Michael Kramer. Jessica had just been hired by Michael's daughter, Pamela to find him, as he was missing. After finally stopping the villains' plan and reuniting father and daughter, Jessica revealed to Lindsay McCabe that she and Spider-Woman were one and the same (although Lindsay claimed that she had known all along). When Jessica hunts down Viper seeking revenge for hurting Lindsay, she battles her, only for the demon Chthon to appear and claim that Viper was actually Jessica's real mother. The resemblance between the two was apparently uncanny and had earlier fooled Viper's agents when Jessica was trying to find Michael. Viper was revealed to be under the control of Chthon and she betrayed him during her fight with Jessica. Jessica later encountered and battle the Viper again, although now the Viper believed that Jessica had brainwashed her into believing that she was her mother. The whole thing turned out to be an illusion created by Morgan Le Fay. Not long after that, Jessica gave up her immunity powers to save Giant-Man.Death of Spider-WomanTigra and Shroud find JessicaJessica traveled in astral form with Magnus to the sixth century England to free her friends' souls in a showdown with Morgan Le Fay. She managed to vanquish Morgan, but Jessica's human body died while her spirit was gone from it. Jessica was believed dead and the sorcerer, Magnus, placed a spell over humanity to remove all traces of Jessica's existence. However, this spell was faulty, and Tigra and the Shroud discovered Jessica's dead body and contacted the Avengers and Doctor Strange. It turned out that Jessica was in fact trapped on the astral plane, and was attempting to make contact with her body again. The Avengers and Strange traveled to the astral plane to battle Morgan Le Fay, who was also trapped on the astral plane. Morgan attempted to foil the Avengers' attempts to revive Jessica, bringing her into direct conflict with both the Avengers and Dr. Strange. Eventually, Doctor Strange was able to reunite Jessica's spirit with her human body and trap Morgan, but it was not without a cost: her bioelectric powers were eliminated and Magnus sacrificed his astral form to help restore her to life. Jessica was nevertheless grateful for returning to the land of the living, and abandoned her Spider-Woman identity. She continued her life as a private investigator in San Francisco, assisted by Lindsay McCabe and occasionally by Tigra, the Shroud and (during their brief time in the city) the X-Men.Jessica Drew frequented Madripoor as a private investigator, partnered with Lindsay McCabe. During this time she had lost her ability to discharge bioelectricity, but found that her super powers were slowly returning. She still possessed superhuman strength and agility, and the ability to cling to walls. At one point, she became ensorcelled by the Black Blade and battled Wolverine. Despite this Jessica became an ally and confidante of Patch (an alter-ego of Wolverine) and developed a friendship with pilot Archie Corrigan, who helped her return to San Francisco and sort out her life.A Normal LifeCharlotte Witter, a.k.a. the fourth Spider-Woman.Jessica Drew's life settled down until Charlotte Witter, a villainess going by the name of Spider-Woman, stole her powers. After the theft, Jessica returned to her life as a private investigator and served as a teacher and mentor to Mattie Franklin, a young woman who had assumed the identity of the Spider-Woman (the third person to become Spider-Woman). Jessica began to regain her powers at this time while investigating two cases with Mattie, making use of her restored superhuman strength and agility. Although she regained the bulk of her spider-powers they were unstable. For example, her "venom blasts" worked efficiently in one fight then would fail unexpectedly on another occasion.When Mattie Franklin was drawn into a highly abusive and parasitic relationship with a New York-based drug dealer who cannibalized her tissue to make the "Mutant Growth Hormone" (commonly known as "MGH"). Jessica didn't hesitate to investigate, despite the instability of her powers. An initial misunderstanding with local P.I. Jessica Jones, who shared many surprising similarities to Drew, turned into an alliance when the women teamed up to rescue Mattie from her captors.Secret InvasionQueen Veranke as Spider-Woman.A HYDRA agent, known as Connely, attacked Jessica and offered her powers on the condition that she rejoined S.H.I.E.L.D. and acted as a double agent. Knowing Connely would kill her if she said no, Jessica agreed and contacted Nick Fury, who confronted her securely and urged her to accept the offer. Nick offered to feed her selected safe information, allowing S.H.I.E.L.D. to use Jessica to research the HYDRA cell and take it down. However when she went undercover to regain her lost powers, she was ambushed by the Skrulls and replaced by their current Queen, Veranke, who took her place in the New Avengers and assumed her role as Fury's spy in preparation for the upcoming Invasion. In the aftermath of the Skrull Invasion, Jessica and many other superheroes were found on an orbiting Skrull ship by Iron Man. Sadly, Jessica's homecoming was rather cold, until her old friend Carol Danvers (Ms. Marvel) ran up to her and gave her a hug. Unaware of the Skrull Queen's actions, Jessica asks why the other heroes have been giving her strange looks, to which Carol responded that "No one knows for sure.".SWORDJessica against ThunderboltsIn the aftermath of Secret Invasion, Spider-Woman returns to the city of her birth, London, where she was approached by Agent Brand to become an agent of SWORD. SWORD provide her with a new mission, to hunt down any remaining Skrulls from the Secret Invasion. Equipped with an alien activity detector, Jessica sets out for Madripoor to track down the first name on their list. After fighting and killing a Skrull posing as Spider-Man, Jessica wakes up in a filthy jail cell, but refrains from breaking herself out with her powers. She is brought out for questioning and interrogated about her alien detector device. Norman Osborn requests she be taken back to the US for questioning.Victory over the Skrulls.Jessica uses her emotion influencing power on her interrogator, but as they leave, he is shot in the head. The assassination was carried out by HYDRA, specifically a group led by Madame Hydra who threatens to kill all the pursuing policemen forcing Spider-Woman to follow along reluctantly. Viper wants her to rejoin HYDRA, who knows about her mission to hunt Skrulls through her inside connection to SWORD. Arriving at the Hydra base, Jessica tries to kill Viper, but fails as she's protected by a SHIELD force field. Viper brings her to a cell containing another Skrull, not the one she's tasked with finding, but all the same she asks for and gets time alone in the cell with it. The confused Skrull still thinks Jessica is Queen Veranke in disguise and begs her to take him home. Jessica fights it with bare fists and kills it, escaping when Viper opens the door to the cell. Unable to fly, Jessica breaks her fall on a wire and crashes into a fountain. Back in hospital Jessica is taken and questioned again. She turns the tables on the detective by using her fear inducing powers. However, this backfires as the guy is too terrified to tell her anything and crumples to the floor. As the police burst into the room, Jessica pulls on her costume and escapes to the roof, only to be confronted by the Thunderbolts who want to bring her back to Norman Osborn. Jessica is able to beat them off and escape. She contacts Abigail Brand, who advises her to run.Brand is annoyed that Jessica is not keeping a low profile and was open about her mission with the police, but gives her information about the Skrull who posed as Spider-Man and attacked her when she arrived in town. Jessica finds the Skrull's human girlfriend who tells her about the bar where the fake Spider-Man met with his associates. Jessica goes there and provokes Koru Kaviti into breaking cover, revealing himself to be a huge Super-Skrull. As they fight Koru tells her that Queen Veranke picked her to be her disguise because no-one really cared about her enough to notice. As the fight proceeded to go downhill for Jessica (as Koru was a veteran warrior regarded as fourth in command below Veranke), the Avengers arrived to provide assistance. At first, Jessica, in a warrior-rage, thought they were Skrulls too. After coming to her senses, she managed to locate Koru, who had shape-shifted during the chaos. Wolverine then promptly impaled Koru from behind. Jessica was then comforted by Carol Danvers, a long time best friend of hers, and Jessica apologized for isolating herself from everyone.New AvengersSpider-Woman, A New AvengerDuring the Dark Reign of Norman Osborn's control of law and order in the US, Jessica was invited by Wolverine to join the New Avengers, having nowhere else to go. She informed the other Avengers that S.H.I.E.L.D. no longer existed and later helped search for Luke and Jessica Jones's baby, Danielle. Along with Iron Fist, they attacked a HYDRA base to see if the Skrull posing as Jarvis had contacted any Earth villains seeking a way to leave New York, possibly Earth. She also joined the Lady Liberators, who were trying to discover the identity of the Red Hulk.With the New Avengers, Jessica encountered The Hood and his gang and Dormammu /Hood before joining the Siege of Asgard where Norman's reign finally came to an end. She subsequently joined the newly reformed Avengers, alongside the three core members: Iron Man, Thor and Captain America.Personal DataHeight: 5' 11"Weight: 150 lbs.Eyes: GreenHair: BlondDefining Features: Though Jessica's natural hair color is blond, she prefers to keep it dyed jet-black, but now it is her natural hair.StatusCitizenship: British, AmericanBorn in: EnglandMarital Status: SingleOccupations: Adventurer, Private Investigator, Espionage Agent, Secretary, TeacherKnown Relatives: Jonathan Drew (father, deceased), Miriam Drew (mother, deceased)Powers and AbilitiesGenerating bio-electricityAs a result of a combination of a special serum derived from spider blood and a certain radiation treatment, Jessica possesses a number of superhuman powers. She has superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, agility, endurance and durability. As well as possessing the ability to focus the bioelectric energy that her body generates into "venom blasts" sufficient to stun or kill normal humans and adhere to almost any surface by excreting an unknown adhesive substance from her palms and soles. Jessica rapidly forms an immunity to all poisons and drugs and is totally immune to radiation. Her body also exudes a high concentration of pheromones which elicit pleasure in most human males while eliciting fear in most females, though she often uses a chemical "perfume" that can nullify this effect. She has also demonstrated superhuman senses in her solo series. Jessica has lost and regained her powers more than once, but she has recently emerged with her powers restored greater than ever.In addition to her powers, Jessica is also a superb hand to hand fighter and has trained in several styles of combat, including boxing, judo, karate, and capoeira, which she learned under the training of the Taskmaster. She has also had training in fencing and the use of many other weapons, including most firearms. Jessica was trained by HYDRA and later on by SHIELD in covert operations, stealth, espionage, and information gathering, and she is also a superb athlete. She speaks several foreign languages, including Korean, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German. Jessica also received vocational training in undercover detective work and sometimes carried a Walther PPK handgun.Whilst not on the same physical level as some of the other Avengers, such as Spider-man, Jessica has shown to be more than capable of using her improved dexterity and reflexes to give more powerful combatants a very difficult time. During her time with S.W.O.R.D, she was locked in a chamber alongside a Skrull Warrior (albeit, it was malnourished and exhausted). She managed to trade blows with it, eventually coming out on top and killing it in the process. Koru Kaviti, the Skrull that originally captured her, on the other hand, was fourth in command below Queen Veranke and near the pinnacle of the Super-Skrull warriors. Jessica, out of costume, traded blows with Koru, holding her own in a losing battle. She took a variety of heavy hits, yet still refused to go down. The fight escalated, smashing through a bar and outside into the city of Madripoor. Whilst the outcome of the fight would most likely have ended in Koru's favor, Jessica held her own until the Avengers arrived, whereupon Koru was impaled by Wolverine.Alternate UniversesEarth-1610 (Ultimate)Ultimate JessicaIn the Ultimate Universe, Jessica Drew is a clone of Peter Parker. She was the most successful and youngest clone of Peter. She was supposed to be implanted with the memories of a new identity, but on the day it was supposed to happen there was a commotion at the lab allowing the clones to escape. She then makes contact with Peter who fights her. One of the other clones abduct Mary Jane and Jessica take Peter to him.

However, the world that Jessica woke up in was the mutant-dominated House of M reality, under the control of Magneto. It's unknown what happened to Jessica, as Queen Veranke under Jessica's disguise was the one who was recruited into SHIELD where she worked her way up to an active role on Wolverine's Red Army Squad. The House of M reality finally crumbled when a girl named Layla Miller was discovered to have the ability to restore memories. She then restored the memories of Earth's superheroes and the heroes fought and won an epic battle with Magneto at the House of M, and reality was restored to normal.Earth-2149 (Marvel Zombiverse)In this reality, Spider-Woman was one of the remaining uninfected superheroes assembled by Nick Fury on a SHIELD helicarrier, where he briefed them on their dire situation.

Jonathan, being an expert on the regenerative and immunological properties of arachnids' blood, injected Jessica with an untested serum made with the blood of several uncommon species of spiders, in the hopes of stopping the tissue damage and immunizing the girl from the Uranium radiation in her blood.Then, he sealed her in a genetic accelerator created by Herbert Wyndham (aka the High Evolutionary) to speed the process, but it only seemed to work at a very slow rate. In stasis for decades, her aging greatly slowed, she awoke with no memories of her past, to a world in which both her parents had disappeared mysteriously, and possessing powers that made everyone around her scared and resentful.

Atlanta: Brunch Burgers Worth Waking Up For at Buttermilk Kitchen
Burger reviews in the Atlanta area.
Buttermilk Kitchen
4225 Roswell Road, Atlanta GA 30342 (Map); 678-732-3274; buttermilkkitchen.com
Cooking Method: Cast iron skillet
Short Order: Breakfast and lunch spot does a cool brunchy twist on a burger
Want Fries with That? The Crispy Fried Potatoes are a great add-on
Price: Dad's Waffle, $13; Bacon-Cheddar Burger, $12
Note: Opening hours: Tues. to Fri., 7:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.; Sat. and Sun., 8. a.m. - 3 p.m.; Bacon-Cheddar Burger only available during weekend brunch
I love brunch. Mainly, I think, it's the anything-goes variety of what you can get away with eating in a single meal. Let's see, I think I'll have eggs Benedict, a slab of prime rib, pancakes, chicken fingers, home fries, and some red velvet cake. Right away, sir. Enjoy your brunch. (Yes, I have a bit of an overeating problem. Especially at brunch places. Shut up and pass the banana pudding.)
And while a hamburger may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you're handed a midmorning menu, maybe that just means you're not brunching at the right place. Buttermilk Kitchen, tucked away in the Chastain area, has more than one burgercentric brunch option; either one will totally make your morning, whether you're dragging yourself in after a long night, or just getting a leisurely start to a busy Saturday.
The old residence can get lost on busy Roswell Road, despite the bright blue paint job. Inside, it feels authentically homey, with timeworn hardwood floors and mismatched seating spread throughout the former rooms and outdoor patio. Open for breakfast and lunch, chef/owner Suzanne Vizethann's weekend brunch menu brings them together and is liberally dotted with Southern classics and homestyle favorites alike, from shrimp and grits to biscuits and gravy.
But it was Dad's Waffle ($13) that caught my eye. Instead of the more common slap-an-egg-under-the-bun-and-call-it-a-breakfast-burger approach, Dad's Waffle brings the burger to the breakfast by topping Buttermilk Kitchen's sourdough waffle with a huge burger patty, gracing it with a pat of house butter, and serving it with maple syrup.
I know. It's a burger on a waffle. Surprisingly simple in its construction. But Dad's Waffle is superb in its execution. First, a word on the waffle. That bad boy is made from 105-year-old starter. Not overly sweet like many versions, Buttermilk's sourdough batter has a yeasty, tangy flavor about it that makes feel it much heartier than just an oversized Eggo.
The burgers themselves at Buttermilk Kitchen are impressive, too. At least eight ounces (I'm guessing more) of grass-fed beef, given a fantastic char in a cast-iron skillet, cooked to a beautiful medium-rare that I regret not getting a flattering photo of. But that's a testament to how quickly I devoured my Dad (not a phrase I ever expected to type) once the butter melted and the syrup gave it all a sweet, sticky bath.
A burger-topped waffle isn't everybody's cup of tea, though. My server Jamez (yes, with a z) called it, despite it being his favorite thing on the menu, "the least seller." Apparently no one orders Dad's Waffle. I promised him I'd get the word out that this is a tasty twist of a dish...but I might humbly make a suggestion. Next time I order Dad's Waffle (and there will be a next time), I'm ordering a side of bacon, crumbling it up, and sprinkling those beautiful pork bits all over the top of everything for some textural crunch and an extra hit of needed saltiness.
But maybe you're not looking for any breakfast component at all. (That's okay. It is brunch, after all. Whatevs.) For a more traditional burger choice, go for the Bacon-Cheddar Burger ($12). Available only for brunch, that same grass-fed, cast-iron-kissed beef sits atop a beautiful and squishy bun, with lettuce underneath, and grated cheddar, superthin-sliced red onion, house pickles, and two strips of thick, holy-crap-TRY-this-but-one-bite-only bacon on top.
One of the more photogenic burgers I've been served recently, it was also one of the better tasting ones, with every element proportioned just right and another spot-on medium-rare by the cook. Buttermilk Kitchen would never call itself a "burger joint," but they do an exceptional burger nonetheless.
The accompanying Crispy Fried Potatoes feel brunchier than standard fries and are fantastic any time of day. Tossed in fresh herbs, fried onions, and sea salt, mine had an outer shell that almost shattered on impact and gave way to a warm and fluffy interior that had me wishing for even more of them in an already-respectably-sized side order.
I didn't expect to be blown away by burgers at a brunch place, but Buttermilk Kitchen's burgers did just that. My biggest complaint about them is that they'll make it harder for me to work my way down the rest of the menu. That Pimento Cheese Omelet/Blueberry Cobbler Pancakes/John & Yoko Ono Whoopie Pie combo platter extravaganza I had fantasized about may have to wait longer than expected.

SEOUL, South Korea — In a move to squash dissent within North Korea's ruling elite, the once-powerful uncle of Leader Kim Jong Un was removed from his government position at a Ruling Workers' Party politburo meeting Sunday, North Korea's state news agency KCNA confirmed.
Jang Song Thaek, who married Kim's aunt, was the vice chairman of North Korea's top military body and has often been pictured beside Kim, who has ruled North Korea since his father's death in 2011.
"Some see this as perhaps the last part of the power consolidation phase, that Kim Jong Un has in fact removed all of the old guard close to his father and is now finalizing the inserting of his own inner group," said John Park, a Northeast Asia analyst at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
Jang and his allies were accused by Kim of double-dealing behind the scene, "dreaming different dreams" and selling off the country's resources at cheap prices, thereby threatening North Korea's economic development, according to the KCNA statement.
"Jang desperately worked to form a faction within the party by creating illusion about him and winning those weak in faith and flatterers to his side," the statement said.
The public document also scolds Jang for improper relations with several women, drug use, gambling, eating at expensive restaurants and getting medical treatment in a foreign country.
Last week two close allies of Jang — Lee Yong-ha and Jang Soo-kee — were publicly executed, South Korean lawmakers said at a news conference.
The lawmakers, including Cho Won-jin of the governing Saenuri Party, said this after receiving what they said was a briefing from South Korea's National Intelligence Service. CNN has not been able to independently confirm the report.
North Korea, a state shrouded in secrecy, is involved in a protracted standoff with its neighbors and Western powers over its nuclear weapons program.
Tensions between North and South Korea soared this year as Pyongyang reacted angrily to tightened United Nations sanctions imposed in response to its latest nuclear test.
The two sides are still technically at war after the Korean War, from 1950 to 1953, ended in a truce, not a treaty.

Some workshop - sounds like 'chicken' and something to do with movement wanted to use the gallery this afternoon. They said that they had been told that they could use it, but there was all this paper on the floor and a carpet under that and a sign saying don't move anything. So I turned all 2 of them away. Does there need to be more communication between the workshop and gallery people?

Blue Cat-Eye Makeup
Get the Look: Emmy Rossum's Frosty-Blue Cat Eye
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. POPSUGAR has affiliate and advertising partnerships so we get revenue from sharing this content and from your purchase.
At a screening for Beautiful Creatures yesterday, Emmy Rossum redefined the cat eye, as we know it — with metallic blue liner. Keeping the rest of her makeup simple, Emmy allowed her eyes to be the star of the show, updating the classic cat eye with a frosty shade of blue. Although this bold look makes a statement, it's rather easy to pull off. Following the steps you would to create a basic cat eye, simply swap your black liner for a shade like this Yves Saint Laurent Eye Pencil in Oriental Blue ($30). And if you're still concerned about blue eyeliner's infamous 1980s reputation, don't be. Shades of blue complement every eye color and are perfect for cat-eye newbies, since a light blue line is more forgiving than black. Transition this eye-catching look into the Spring with pale pink blush and a swipe of gloss.

How a $17 Billion Bailout Fund Intended For Boeing Ended Up In Very Different Hands
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
November 28, 2020 - by AARON GREGG and Yeganeh Torbati The Washington Post for www.seattletimes.com
The Trump administration has used a $17 Billion loan fund meant for businesses critical to U.S. national security to help a hodgepodge of little-known companies with unclear importance to national defense, and the fund remains mostly unspent nearly eight months after Congress approved it as part of a $2 trillion stimulus bill.
Aircraft manufacturers including Boeing were the fund's intended recipients but balked at the terms and did not apply. Instead, the 11 companies that have tapped the fund so far include a company that has pitched its products as an enabling technology for the facial recognition tracking of immigrants, a manufacturer of roadblock barriers and surveillance firms.
One company that received a loan is an experimental spaceflight technology firm backed by deep-pocketed venture capital investors. Others have a history of financial losses.
One manufacturer relies on minimum-wage prison labor to make wire harnesses for military and commercial customers...

- Trump administration's reported plan would restrict US exports of parts to 89 Chinese companies with military links
- Comac, the state-owned firm building the C919, depends on US suppliers for key components, including flight controls and jet engines
China's plans to roll out the home-grown C919 passenger jet next year could be severely disrupted if the Trump administration restricts US companies from doing business with the state-owned conglomerate developing the plane due to its alleged links with the Chinese military.
The Trump administration is expected to soon announce export controls on a list of 89 Chinese companies with military ties, including the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (Comac), Reuters reported.
US suppliers would be required to seek special licenses to sell commercially available items to companies on the list.
In Comac's case, the C919 depends on a series of components made by American companies, including flight controls and jet engines....

Global Airline Body Claims It Has The Solution That Will Allow International Travel To Resume!
The International Air Transport Association is looking to pilot its digital platform later this year for a launch in Q1 2021.
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
November 27, 2020 - by Aimee Chanthadavong for www.zdnet.com
The International Air Transport Association is looking to pilot its digital platform later this year for a launch in Q1 2021.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) said it has reached the final development stage of a standardized digital platform that it claims would enable international borders to reopen safely and allow overseas travel to resume.
According to the IATA, the IATA Travel Pass would incorporate four open-sourced and interoperable modules that could be combined to deliver an end-to-end solution.
These modules include a global registry that would enable airline passengers to find accurate information about travel, testing, and eventually vaccine requirements for their journey, as well as the location of testing and vaccination centres at their departure location, which meet the standards for vaccination requirements of their destination.
The pass would also...

Boeing vs Airbus: who develops aircraft faster? | Data
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
November 27, 2020 - by VALIUS VENCKUNAS for www.aerotime.aero
It takes years to develop a modern aircraft. But which one of the two giants – Boeing and Airbus – manages to do it faster?
Theoretically, it is not difficult to calculate the time it took to develop a particular model of aircraft. All we have to do is measure how many years, months or days were spent between the two points: when a particular airplane went into development and when its first production unit was delivered to the first customer.
The chart below shows how many years particular aircraft spent in the development cycle, including several significant checkpoints: the official launch of the program (often coupled with the first official order) and the first flight of the prototype. The most popular models are shown here, including significant modifications that often come with their respective generations.
Aircraft, developed by other companies, but sold by Boeing or Airbus (such as the Boeing 717 and the Airbus A220) are excluded, as are modifications of particular base model (such as the Boeing 737 MAX 9 or the Airbus A321 – derivatives of the 737 MAX 8 and the A320 respectively)....

November 27, 2020 - by Dhierin Bechai for www.seekingalpha.com
- Boeing deliveries increased modestly.
- Boeing cancellations also saw a modest increase as Boeing 737 MAX cancellations continue.
- Cancellations should start showing signs of stabilization.
- Rebuilding the delivery volumes is more important than orders at this stage.
Boeing (BA) and Airbus (OTCPK:EADSF) (OTCPK:EADSY) are looking at a reset on prospects for the commercial aircraft industry, which also affects the order inflows where the focus has shifted from looking to who can book the most orders in a year to containing the order book.
Early on in the pandemic, our monthly coverage for order inflow and deliveries showed us that, while deliveries came to a standstill, jet makers were still seeing higher order inflows, which primarily was driven by a strong start of the year for Airbus, but we expected that, along the way, we would see that lead diminish as airlines and lessors would throttle back on new orders and cancel orders, aligning themselves for a stretched market recovery requiring less aircraft in the near future.

Why Did Airbus Make Indian Airlines A320 Width Different Landing Gear?
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
November 27, 2020 - by The Flight Detective for travelupdate.com
Indian Airlines was primarily a domestic airline, later absorbed into Air India. When Airbus sold the airline a number of Airbus A320s, the European plane maker created a special version with unique landing gear just for them.
Aircraft manufacturers sometimes make special versions of their planes to meet the needs of specific operators. For example, Boeing made Qantas a shorter 707 than other airlines and many years later added a flight engineer position on Ansett's Boeing 767s.
The main landing gear on virtually all Airbus A320s features a two wheel bogie.
With a maximum take-off weight of around 78 tons, the pair of wheels on each side is...

International Air Connectivity Crisis Threatens Global Economic Recovery
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
November 26, 2020 - by www.iata.org
Geneva - The International Air Transport Association (IATA) released data revealing that the COVID-19 crisis has had a devastating impact on international connectivity, shaking up the rankings of the world's most connected cities.
- London, the world's number one most connected city in September 2019, has seen a 67% decline in connectivity. By September 2020, it had fallen to number eight.
- Shanghai is now the top ranked city for connectivity with the top four most connected cities all in China—Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
- New York (-66% fall in connectivity), Tokyo (-65%), Bangkok (-81%), Hong Kong (-81%) and Seoul (-69%) have all exited the top ten.
- The study reveals that cities with large numbers of domestic connections now dominate, showing the extent to which international connectivity has been shut down.
"The dramatic shift in the connectivity rankings demonstrates the scale at which the world's connectivity has been re-ordered over the last months.
But the important point is that rankings did not shift because of any improvement in connectivity. That declined overall in all markets. The rankings shifted because the scale of the decline was greater for some cities than others. There are no winners, just some players that suffered fewer injuries. In a short period of time we have undone a century of progress in bringing people together and connecting markets.
The message we must take from this study is the urgent need to re-build the global air transport network," said Sebastian Mikosz, IATA's Senior Vice President for Member External Relations.
IATA's 76th Annual General Meeting called on governments to safely re-open borders using testing. "The systematic testing of travelers is the immediate solution to rebuilding the connectivity that we have lost. The technology exists. The guidelines for implementation have been developed. Now we need to implement, before the damage to the global air transport network becomes irreparable," said Mikosz.
Air transport is a major engine of the global economy. In normal times some 88 million jobs and $3.5 trillion in GDP is supported by aviation. More than half of this employment and economic value is at risk from the collapse in global air travel demand. "Governments must realize that there are major consequences for peoples' lives and livelihoods.
At least 46 million jobs supported by air transport are in peril. And the strength of the economic recovery from COVID-19 will be severely compromised without the support of a functioning air transport network," said Mikosz.

My name is Normand Hamel. After a 35 year career in aviation I retired in 2009 to better concentrate on my favourite activities: reading and writing. If you wonder what Run-up Pad means it refers to this special section of a run-up area on an airport that can be heated up in cold temperatures to prevent an aircraft from slipping forward when power is applied to test the engines. It also refers symbolically to the yellow pad I am using to write these articles for which I intend to bring our readers to contribution to test my ideas, like one would test an engine to make sure it works properly.

Two people injured in a shooting that left another dead Thursday are from the Lower Mainland in British Columbia and had arrived in Calgary only a few hours before they were shot, police say.
A 22-year-old woman remains in serious condition and is unable to speak to investigators, while an injured man, also 22, is stable and not co-operating with police.
"She's unable to be spoken to at this time. The third person, the other male, is choosing to not co-operate with this investigation at this time," said Staff Sgt. Grant Miller with the homicide unit.
Police identified the dead man as Trevor James Munro, a 22-year-old from Surrey, B.C.
The shooting was not random, police say.
Shots rang out Thursday night in the 1900 block of 5A Street S.W. shortly before 9 p.m.
The shooter fled the scene and remains at large.
Miller said police are trying to determine the validity of the tips they have received about a potential suspect.
"There is talk that a vehicle left the area at a high rate of speed. We also have reports of people leaving the area on foot," he said.
Calgary police are working with authorities in the Lower Mainland on the case.
Police believe the three friends left the Lower Mainland on the weekend.
Cliff Bungalow residents were greeted by yellow crime scene tape as they left for work Friday morning.
"It's an unusual situation, but since it was in a parking lot, it's most likely people who don't live here," said Cliff Bungalow-Mission community president Bob Lang.
"We have our share of issues, but nothing overly serious."
The area, which abuts Western Canada High School and the Villa Jean Toupin retirement home, remained cordoned off Friday as Calgary Search and Rescue volunteers searched for evidence.

A man has died and 13 people were injured when a car collided with a night bus.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, was one of four men in the car when it was involved in an accident with a bus in Clapton, east London, at around 2.20am today.
The three others in the car were also badly injured, one critically, while 10 people on the N38 bus were treated as "walking wounded", Scotland Yard said, and some were taken to hospital.
The bus was travelling towards Whipps Cross, north east London, when the accident happened in Lea Bridge Road, at the junction with Essex Wharf.
A wrecked blue car thought to be an Audi lay across a central reservation next to traffic lights close to the Lee Valley Ice Centre.
The N38, with destination of Walthamstow Central on the front, stood nearby, its right front corner crumpled and its right side angled into a grassy verge.
Paramedics treated bus passengers before a number of the injured were taken to hospital by another bus. It is believed they all received minor injuries.
A police spokesman said: "One man who was in the car was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision.
"Another man who was in the car was taken to an east London hospital where his condition is described as critical.
"Two men who were in the back of the car suffered injuries. They are in a serious but stable condition after and are being treated at an east London hospital.
"The four men in the car are believed to be in their early to mid-20s. We await further details."
Police said that no one had been arrested and inquiries into the cause of the collision were taking place.
Roads from Chatsworth Road with the junction of Lea Bridge Road to Orient Way with the junction with Lea Bridge Road were closed and motorists are advised to avoid the area.
Rose Friggi, 32, a mother-of-two from nearby Paradise Park, said she heard what sounded like an explosion last night.
"I was up in the night because my baby was sick," she said.
"I heard what sounded like an explosion. My husband went to work at about 3am and he said there were police cars and a helicopter at the scene."
Anyone with information or who witnessed the collision is asked to call police on 101.

Hi Marissa,
I've been trying to figure out how to make bling???? I can not figure it out like what's in the banner for your "Love Me" Kit.
I love using bling, but using premade bling to do what I want it to do is impossible. I love making swirls and flourishes but I can never get the bling to look right (from an already downloaded file), So I was wondering, how do you make bling in Photo Shop Elements?
@Gabriela Wish I could understand your posts .
I'm not sure if this tutorial has been made yet but I would like to see one on how to convert a .jpg to a .pdf.
Not sure why you directed me to read forum guidelines. Am I doing something wrong? I haven't been able to find a way to specifically organize cu papers.
Hi Marisa,

Originally published: 04.01.07 by Tonya Vinas
I bought my first brand new car in 1989. It was a Honda Civic, and my husband-to-be was with me. I had a lot of questions about the car, which I asked directly to the salesman. He answered them. But he didn't look at me when he did. He looked at my mate.
Hello! I have the money here! I'm making the decision!
Granted, that was almost 20 years ago, but I can attest that women still feel ignored at times by salesmen and technicians when it comes to some major purchases and repairs that somehow have become to be known as "masculine." Boilers, AC units, and other hvac equipment unfortunately falls into this category at times.
Don't make that mistake! Women are a lucrative market, especially when it comes to providing a comfortable, cost-efficient home for families. They want quality, performance, and ease of maintenance. This is something Weil-McLain, Michigan City, Ind., has decided to capitalize on with a marketing campaign geared toward women. The manufacturer of oil- and gas-fired boilers recently earned the Good Housekeeping Seal, and it plans to tell as many women as possible about it with print ads, store promotions, product packaging, and online information. The online
"The Seal is dedicated to helping consumers find products and companies they can trust," said Weil-McLain's Dave Dolan, vice president of marketing. "Our marketing efforts reflect this mission."
The Good Housekeeping Seal has been around since 1909 and in branding circles is a legend. Technically, the Seal is a guarantee of Good Housekeeping magazine's consumer policy, which sates: "… if a product bearing the Seal proves to be defective within two years of purchase, Good Housekeeping will replace the product or refund the purchase price."
Women have trusted the Seal for almost 100 years as an endorsement of quality and value. According to Weil-McLain, it enjoys a 94% recognition rate among consumers and will influence a consumer to buy a Seal-endorsed product 81% of the time when prices and features are similar to other brands on the market.
The Good Housekeeping audience certainly sounds like a good group to be marketing to. According to publisher Hearst Corp., 22 million of the 25 million readers are women. The median annual household income of readers is $48,347. Her family and her home are her top priorities, and she considers herself to be technically savvy. She is extremely loyal to brands and seeks out the best products she can afford.
If you need more convincing, consider this: According to Fara Warner, a business journalist and author of the book "The Power of the Purse," women make 80% of all buying decisions and control $7 trillion in purchasing power.
I know that many contractors out there recognize the purchasing power of women and have marketing campaigns, training, and other efforts to reach them. Good going. But if you aren't one of them, why not? Particularly, IAQ marketing efforts should target women. No wife or mother wants her family members to breathe air that could make them sick. Also, women are becoming more concerned about environmental degradation, research shows, and are interested in energy-saving, environmentally safe products.
Take a cue from Weil-McLain. Position your products and services so that they respond to the concerns of women, and stress quality and ease of maintenance. If you have a product that will solve a problem and/or make their homes more comfortable and healthy, they want to know about it!

Are electric vehicles right for your company? Many contractors are unsure, as was Tom Robichaud, owner and president of Precision Plumbing Heating Electric in Boulder, CO. The CEO of one of Precision's long-time clients, Boulder Electric Vehicle, convinced Robichaud to take a test drive because he thought the truck would be a perfect fit for the short routes service technicians drive daily. After that test drive and some additional research, Robichaud became an electric vehicle advocate.

Contractors, equipment suppliers, and industry groups expect 2011 to be an improvement over 2010, but not an immense improvement. Consumer trends, regulatory requirements, and incentive programs are making anything related to energy efficiency a promising opportunity; and expanding and/or rebounding sectors such as healthcare and stimulus-fueled public works projects are also brightening the outlook somewhat.

Strange-looking fish puzzles anglers
AUGUSTA — On Jan. 25, anglers were taking advantage of a fish salvage order as Augusta City Lake was being drained for renovation. During a fish salvage, anglers can take sportfish with equipment not ordinarily allowed, such as seines, snagging rigs, bow and arrow, and gigs. Most of the prizes hauled in were large flathead catfish, but one angler snagged a fish estimated to weigh about 55 pounds that no one could identify. Officials with the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) became involved with the catch when a picture of the fish appeared on local television. It was immediately identified as an aquatic nuisance species (ANS), an Asian carp.
"This report supports our long-standing recommendation that fish should not be moved between waters," said Jason Goeckler, KDWPT aquatic nuisance specialist. "Here is a case of a lake with Asian carp that we didn't even know about."
Asian carp were imported to the U.S. in the 1970s for aquaculture purposes but escaped into Midwestern rivers and streams. Previously, they had been found only in the Kansas, Missouri, Big Blue, and Wakarusa rivers and Browning Oxbow Lake in northeastern Kansas. Officials believe that the fish was released into Augusta City Lake or waters above the lake.
Two species of Asian carp have been discovered in Kansas — bighead and silver carp. Both species have scaleless heads, and silver carp may grow to more than 60 pounds and as long as 4 feet. This fish, however, was a bighead carp, which may grow to more than 100 pounds. Both species have low-set eyes and a large upturned mouth without barbels ("whiskers").
Asian carp directly compete with other fish for food resources, grow quickly, and feed voraciously. They can consume 40 percent of their body weight each day. Silver carp pose physical danger to boaters because of their leaping ability. Anyone boating in silver carp-infested waters should be aware that these large fish may jump into their boat.
Shortly after news reports of the Augusta City Lake Asian carp, KDWPT began receiving calls and emails.
"We want to thank the public for sending in reports," Goeckler said. "Unfortunately we did not hear about this discovery prior to press-time. But the big news is that we received countless emails, calls, and online reports from the public. They shared our concern about the discovery, and their reports help us monitor these species."
Anyone who catches an Asian carp should not release the fish back into any body of water. Anglers who catch Asian carp somewhere other than the Kansas, Missouri, Big Blue, and Wakarusa rivers should freeze the fish in a sealed plastic bag, note the date and location, and call the KDWPT Emporia Research Office at 620-342-0658 or email email@example.com.
