Released: November 9, 2007
Record Label: Band Stand Live Records
Dawning Days is the debut album from Hello Mahalo, released on the fledgling label Band Stand Live Records. This quartet from Massachusetts has put forth an album of compelling compositions with great musicianship.
Hello Mahalo's style is reminiscent of The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Incubus, Sublime, and the like. The sounds of Jared Pizzaro's and Justin Hardy's dueling guitars even remind me of Blind Melon at times. The songwriting is very strong, especially on the emotional track "Son". The production is a little thin in spots, but because the songs are so well crafted, it's easy to focus attention on what's important; the music.
Justin Joyce has a great voice. He uses his strong vocal abilities to deliver the intricate vocal arrangements with impressive precision. Though precise, the vocals also bear sufficient amounts of flourish to make the songs interesting. Joyce's ability to add a special flair to the vocals is what really separates Hello Mahalo from other bands in the genre, and it is one of the things this album could use more of.
Overall, this album is very satisfying. The band has a refreshing sound and style that makes them stand out. It's an uncommon treat to find a band whose members are not only extremely talented musicians, but also skillful song writers and story tellers. This will be a band to watch, and hear, for some time to come.
Track Listing:
- Eternal Sun
- The Chase
- Crowbar
- Son
- Nevertheless
- Mind Control

Not movie or TV news, but rather something that caught our eye. One of the stars of The Walking Dead looks like she could be headed to jail. Read on for the details.
A pregnant US actress who told FBI agents that her husband had sent ricin-tainted letters to President Barack Obama and New York City's mayor has been charged with threatening the president.
Shannon Guess Richardson, who has appeared in shows such as 'The Walking Dead' and 'The Vampire Diaries', was charged on Friday in Texarkana, Texas.
She faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted of mailing a threatening communication to the president.
US attorney's office spokeswoman Davilyn Walston said Richardson was arrested earlier in the day for mailing ricin-laced letters last month to President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
It wasn't immediately clear if she has a lawyer.
FBI agents wearing hazardous material suits were seen going in and out of Richardson's house on Wednesday in New Boston, northeast of Dallas near the Oklahoma and Arkansas borders.

The reigning queen of canvas artwork in Australia, Suzie Atkin (aka Urban Road) has teamed up with the creative girls at Little Branch to launch a wonderful new range of canvas art prints.
The original painted art created for the Little Branch canvas collection is based on still lives and images that the Branchettes (Maree Oaten and Anna Johnson) have admired in European flea markets and mysterious hallways of eccentric art collections. The idea is that we can all recreate a rambling bohemian spirit or welcoming country house aesthetic with artwork that has impact, and is affordable.
Images: All images from Little Branch, on Urban Road.
Images: All images from Little Branch, on Urban Road.
The artwork is professionally printed on 100% cotton canvas, then stretched and wrapped around a 38mm wooden frame and comes ready for instant hanging. Prices range from $120 - $345 per canvas, depending on the size chosen. All canvas prints are made to order and take 2-4 weeks for production and delivery.

Hi there,
I'm just wondering what the future roadmap for client generation might look like. There is the raml-javascript-generator which depends on the raml-generator. The last tool has been inactive since half a year. And it's initiator seems to have no access anymore. And then there is the raml-java-client-generator. Written in pure java.
When I take a look at the swagger community, there is only one tool chain for generating clients. And this is using Java. As I spend a lot of time building a generator for PHP I would really like to know which tool chain will be the one supported in the future. If the future tool chain will be javascript I would like to see some traction at the related tools. Cause it's very annoying to be dependent on a raml-generator using a really outdated raml-parser (using 0.10.x, actual version: 1.14).
I mentioned this in another thread, but I'm underway on a Go based RAML 1.0 tool here: https://github.com/mattbaird/RAMbLOn
I'm making good progress, not quite 100% on the parser yet.
Really the client (and any generator) is expected to be done by the community. Mulesoft as far as I know is helping with some of it, besides the RAML spec, this site, and other things, they have some people dedicated to RAML that I know of. If you think of what Swagger has done.. most of their stuff is all community contributed. The problem with waiting on the community is everyone has different ideas of how a generator should be implemented, and what it should produce. There is no one project that aims to generate all the SDKs, CLIs, documentation, tests, etc. Even if there was, given the community process, it would probably still require quite some time to get groups of people to meet/chat/email one another and come to some agreement on the direction of the generated output, language to write it in, etc. For a spec like RAML or Swagger, thats a pretty big undertaking.
Having said that, while I am largely a Java (and like to think NodeJS) developer, I really really like the idea of using Golang as the primary generator project. That it compiles on any platform and for any platform, native code, and is from what I have been told and reading up on a kind of uber language of Java, NodeJS, C and C#, it just seems to have all the right elements to produce a solid RAML to ?? generator. To that end, I think Matthews project is very promising. I have asked that he is able to break out the parser to its own project at some point, and if I was confident with Go and able to help, I would love to dive in on his project right now. So take a look at his tool, and see if you can maybe help with that.
Another good project is the RAML2HTML. It is almost 1.0 capable.. although it is a doc generator. Me personally.. I would love to see a single tool, specifically Mathews toold, become the standard tool that we build generators off of.. and that includes doc generators, language generators, etc. This would fit well with my idea (that I responded to here (http://forums.raml.org/t/back-end-behaviors-where-to-describe-specifiy/1615/3) in having a way to provide a common set of annotations that generators would all agree (or try to agree) to support. Things like deprecation, HATEOAS, and more wild ideas could be handled in one tool (at least parsing) in a manner that add on generators could take advantage of more easily.
What I would REALLY like to see though, is some sort of consortium/community agreement on the direction of generators. The problem I have with the central Swagger generator is it is a crap shoot of whoever decides to work on it.. and every generator has different output capabilities. Some support the full spec, some a subset of it, some dont work well with parts of the spec, some ignore things in the spec they shouldnt. Most seem to be one off developed projects out of some need, that often seem to eventually lack support and/or continued improvement and fixes. And somehow, companies seem to jump on board with this idea of using Swagger because they have all these code generators they can provide SDKs and such with. No thank you. Give me a set of generators that put out good code in different languages that are all at the same completion level. Same with documentation output, tests, etc.
Anywho.. I do hope to see @Matthew_Baird project become the primary way in which we generate SDKs, CLIs, docs, etc in the near future and more people will jump on board to help him with that.
I can just backup what @Kevin_Duffey already said; it would be very cool to see one single project that uses a template-like approach to generate all sorts of things. @Matthew_Baird is definitely going in the right direction, and there are also some NodeJS approaches, but the community needs to come together and we all need to contribute. If there is one project where we only have to provide templates, that would make a lot easier.
@Matthew_Baird could your project be used for something like that? So it has a main project that generates the object for the templates (not sure if there is something like handlebars and such for Go) where people could add their own templates?
Additionally, if we go for handlebars or another standard; these templates can be reused for other languages or projects.
Yeah. I also don't mind whatever language it will be. When I started, there was the NodeJS client generator. Which was also using handlebars templates. Half a year later it's now using typescript. Personally i liked the handlebars approach better. But for additional features the Typescript approach can be easier extended. When I find some time I may have a look at the Go-Tooling
I saw your PR on the raml-generator project which is the foundation for the handlebars / template-like generator approach. Still need to review your last response though

In view of the complexity of today's research problems, it is increasingly felt that scientists should move beyond the boundaries of their own disciplines, especially when it concerns issues and impacts related with global environmental and climatic perturbations. Knowledge of ecological, socio-political and several economic policies is essential when one requires to develop a sound understanding of ecosystem. While dealing with many of the recently evolved issues like "Ecological Foot-printing (EF)" and "Carbon Foot-printing (CF)" etc., the present paper illustrates some model development exercises for Region-Specific GHG-Emission-Factors (ERG), which are based on realistic parameters for which data can be easily collected. The article also discusses those issues on which we should focus our immediate attention and continuously work on their future refinement. In particular, issues related to methane emission from wetlands, mangroves and hydroelectric reservoirs are analyzed. Need for spatial as well as temporal extrapolations of the local and regional values to global scales are also discussed. In short, the article presents a snap-shot of the kind of activities which need regular pursuance, refinement, modification and application in regard to evolving site-specific, region-specific and ecosystem-specific environmental management plans aimed at combating the climate regulated environmental crisis which is unfolding before us every day with a newer dimension.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Doomsday predictions surrounding the start-up of Europe's Large Hadron Collider -- a giant particle-smasher designed to explore the origins of the universe -- come as little surprise to physicists.
The world's largest particle-collider has yet to begin experiments, but its trial run on Wednesday was accompanied by worries that it might spawn black holes with enough gravitational pull to swallow up the Earth.
Edward "Rocky" Kolb, chairman of the department of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of Chicago, says such fears come with the territory.
"This is an experiment at the frontier of our knowledge of nature. It is opening the door into uncharted territory," he said in a telephone interview. But Kolb feels awe, not fear.
"Rather than creating a black hole that destroys the universe, we expect to discover new laws of nature," he said.
A group calling itself the Citizens Against The Large Hadron Collider filed a lawsuit trying to halt the project and the father of a 16-year-old girl in India said his daughter killed herself on Wednesday after being traumatized by news reports of doomsday predictions.
So far, no particle smashing has taken place. Scientists have only circulated proton beams around the accelerator's giant 17-mile (27-km) tunnel on the French-Swiss border.
"The doomsday prophets would say they haven't had any collisions. They would say we are not out of the woods yet," said Kolb, who spent a year working at the European Center for Nuclear Research, or CERN.
"The reason I'm not concerned is that nature has already done this experiment. It was done in the early universe," Kolb said.
"Cosmic rays have hit the moon with more energy and have not produced a black hole that has swallowed up the moon," he said. "The universe doesn't go around popping off huge black holes."
Kolb and others said people made similar doomsday predictions before the opening of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven National Laboratory in 1999.
Other physics experiments have engendered fear as well.
When Enrico Fermi was testing the first nuclear reactor in a squash court at the University of Chicago in 1943, some scientists worried that it could generate an explosion that might blow up the Chicago neighborhood of Hyde Park.
"Fermi had sort of a wicked sense of humor. He was taking bets at the test site about whether the world would end or not," Kolb said.
And he said some scientists predicted that the first atomic bomb would ignite all of the nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere. "It turned out that calculation was wrong," Kolb said.

How to Keep a Firing from BackfiringDecember 31, 2001
Time was when firings, layoffs and reductions in force were financially painful only for employees. Increasingly, however, terminated employees are suing and collecting from former employers. Whether an employee can recover depends on who was terminated, why, which law applies and what a jury decides.
The Protected Classes
Federal and many state laws prohibit termination because of race, sex, national origin, citizenship, disability, union activity or even age (over 40 under federal law), filing benefit claims or protesting discrimination. Aggrieved employees can file charges with state human rights agencies and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If these agencies don't help, lawyers will gladly sue.
In many states, employees have won suits on allegations that they were fired for reasons against the state's "public policy" which can vary from state to state.
In New York State, supposedly an "employment-at-will" state, statutes prohibit discrimination for engaging in legal, after hours recreational activity, criminal convictions that do not create undue risks for the employer, filing workers' compensation claims or serving on juries. In New York City, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is also barred.
In most states, if the terminated employee contends a personnel manual or somebody in authority said employment would be "permanent" or termination would be only for "just cause," the employee is entitled to a trial to determine whether the reason for termination was sufficient. In a few states, like Massachusetts and New Hampshire, even if nothing is said in the manual, there is an implied obligation to act fairly and in good faith in terminating employees.
Employees who win such suits can win big — reinstatement, back pay, future lost pay, damages for pain and suffering, and if a jury thinks the employer acted willfully or maliciously, even punitive damages. Multimillion-dollar verdicts are possible.
Every termination must be treated as if it could be attacked in court. Once in court, the employer must present a reason for the termination that is not inconsistent with any statute or other law. During that litigation, all the company's records on this employee and others in similar situations can be brought into court and wilt have to be explained to a judge or jury whose decision will turn on some notion of fairness and justice.
What Happens in Termination Litigation
Terminated plaintiffs most commonly claim they were terminated "because" they were members of a group protected from employment discrimination by federal and state laws. To prevail, the terminee must prove that protected group status was a determining factor in their selection for adverse treatment.
This issue normally turns on the intent of the employer. The only direct evidence of intent is the testimony of the actor, but triers of fact are skeptical of testimony of sanctimonious intent.
The courts have, therefore, developed a complicated scheme of presumptions and shifting burdens to give plaintiffs a fair chance to reach the trier of fact without encouraging frivolous lawsuits.
The Employee's "Prima Facie" Case Burden
The employee may force the employer to articulate its reasons for selecting the plaintiff by establishing a prima facie case (sometimes called raising a presumption of illegal discriminatory intent) by showing:
- membership in a protected class (race, sex, age, etc.),
- termination (or some other adverse employment action),
- qualification for the job in question, and
- that someone not in the protected class received better treatment or that there are other indicia of illegal intent. E.g., McDonnell Douglas Corp. v. Green, 411 U.S. 792 (1973).
The Employer's Burden to Articulate a Legal Reason
The burden of production (but not persuasion) then shifts to the employer to articulate a nondiscriminatory business reason for its actions. E.g., Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248 (1981).
The Presumption of Illegality Disappears
The prima facie presumption then disappears from the case and plaintiffs have the burden of proving they were terminated because they were protected class members and that "a discriminatory reason more likely motivated the employer." Plaintiffs may do this in a variety of ways including:
- Proving a statistically significant adverse impact on members of the protected classes that is not explainable by business reasons. (Actions speak louder than words.)
- Actual admissions of illegal intent by authorized agents of the employer who participated in or influenced the action. (Anything an employer or agent says can be used against them.)
- Anecdotal testimony usually about statements made by supervisors tending to show illegal intent (in effect, smoking gun statements). ("A smite and a suitcase," "the old fellow's lost it," "that ethnic group is just lazy," etc.)
- Evidence tending to show that the articulated reason is untrue. Because employers are presumably reasonable, the only reason to lie is to cover up illegal intent to discriminate (this begins to sound a lot like the notion of consciousness of guilt which arose in criminal cases), and/or
- Inconsistent statements made by someone who speaks for the employer (everyone had better be on the same wave length).

Review Paper Trail
Disparate Treatment
Consider Settlement of Troublesome Cases
Neutral References
Did the Employee Do it?
Defendants Then Have an Opportunity (and Burden) to Show it Would Have Happened Anyway
Finally, if the plaintiff establishes "direct evidence" that discriminatory intent was "a determining factor" in their selection, the employer is given an opportunity to prove that the plaintiff would have been treated in the same manner notwithstanding the proven fact that a discriminatory motive played a part in the decision. Such proof will limit judicial remedies to declaratory and/or injunctive relief and attorneys' fees and costs and save the employer from an award of damages and/or an order requiring admission, reinstatement, hiring or promotion of the plaintiff or payment of back pay.
What Employers Stand to Lose
Losing employment discrimination litigation means the employer pays two people for the same work: the retained employee and the terminee. Losing an age discrimination claim can mean paying three times because a terminated employee wins double damages if the plaintiff shows that the unlawful age discrimination was "willful." Losing a federal discrimination claim concerning sex, national origin or religion can add up to $300,000 damages for "pain and suffering" or even punitive damages if the judge or jury deems the employer to have evil intent as well as uncapped back pay and front pay for lost wages. There is no cap for race discrimination. in New York City, there is no cap on punitive and other damages. Violations of New York State antidiscrimination statutes can result in unlimited damages for pain and suffering but not punitive damages. And losers pay employees' legal fees to boot.
But the saddest fact is that no employer can "win" a discrimination suit. Even a successful defense costs executive time and distraction and incurs considerable legal fees.
How to Keep a Firing from Backfiring
The only way to win litigation is to avoid it. So employers should plan litigation avoidance early and follow preventative human resource practices.
The Time to Defend Begins Before Hire
The time to defend against termination lawsuits begins before an employee is hired. When employers hire someone, they enter into a contract of employment with that person. That contract may be oral (typically, what is discussed are wages, hours and benefits Like medical insurance, holidays and vacations), but it is nevertheless binding on the employer.
If an employer wants to retain the prerogative of terminating an employee for any reason (other than those that are contrary to a statute or, in some states, to public policy), that had better be spelled out in writing and signed by the employee before or at hire. The best place is in a signed employment application spelling out at-will employment.
Watch Out for Unintentional Promises
Great care should also be taken to review personnel manuals, employee bulletins and other documents that state terms of employment. High minded promises of fair treatment can result in lawsuits where juries decide what they think is fair.

Obtaining valid releases —
Cut Down Your Risks Before You Use the Ax
Be sure that there is a provable, unassailable business reason — such as a clear violation of a published work rule or a documented record of warnings for poor performance or excessive absenteeism — for any termination. That reason should be reviewed and established before the employee is let go, not after.
A typical recipe for a disastrous lawsuit involves a long-term employee who received wage increases every year and whose personnel file contains no written warnings. One day someone decides that a formerly acceptable level of performance is inadequate. So the employee is unceremoniously let go. If the employee had been warned of substandard performance and given fair warning and a reasonable opportunity to improve, the employer would have a better case.
Another invitation to a lawsuit occurs when there are several employees with a chronic problem (like absenteeism), but the older employee is the first one fired. Better to discipline the worst first. When younger people, not in any protected group, with similar absenteeism problems are not terminated, the employer faces a strong inference that the real reason for termination was age. But if those with the worst absenteeism records are terminated first, especially after warnings, it will be harder to prove that hidden discrimination was the real reason.
Ten Ways to Avoid (or Win) Employment Termination Litigation
- Say what you Mean — You may be stuck with what you Say
Before hiring, review documents that are likely to be involved in a termination lawsuit. Be sure that they promise only what you want them to deliver. Be sure that they spell out that oral promises will not change the written rules.
- Loose Lips Sink Ships
Be sure no one in authority makes promises you do not intend to keep. And tell employees that only property promulgated written policies will be honored.
- Fair Warning Wins Lawsuits, Communicate Work Rules and Warnings
Establish basic, written work rules and make clear that infractions can lead to discipline and discharge. Don't adopt overly specific rules. Use rules like honesty, courtesy, excessive absenteeism, sobriety and a duty to cooperate in company investigations. Be sure every employee receives a copy and signs for it. Use (but don't promise) progressive discipline for lesser infractions — that is, give an employee an opportunity to correct unacceptable behavior. This might include a written warning or two acknowledged by the employee.
- Discipline the Worst First
If discipline is necessary, deal with the worst offenders first.
- Look Before You Leap
Get the employee's side of the story in front of witnesses and, if possible, in writing signed by the employee. Then, check it out before you act. It is best to recognize factual weaknesses in your case before it is too late. If you really don't want the employee on the payroll until the facts are clear, suspend the employee during your investigation but offer back pay if the employee is "cleared."
- Consistency is the Best Preventative
Be consistent in discipline — similar infractions should receive similar punishment.
- Fair Treatment Wins Cases
Review the employee's personnel file with an eye to fairness: Fair treatment as well as fair warning. For example, employees with longer seniority merit more opportunities to correct their actions than newly hired people.
- Buy out the Bad Risks
If you must fire someone but think your termination rationale could be viewed as suspect, consider severance pay in exchange for a release from any claims that might arise from the termination. Not the severance pay or vacation pay that you give to anyone who is terminated, but additional compensation. To be valid, a release must be knowing, voluntary and for a valuable consideration, over and above otherwise mandated severance benefits.
Under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, you have to give 21 to 45 days to consider the release and must explicitly advise the terminee to consult a lawyer.
- Never Speak Ill of the Recently Departed
Don't stand in the way of the terminated employee's future employment. An employee who has a new job is less likely to bring a lawsuit against a previous employer. Bad references can lead to expensive lawsuits. But good references are an admission that there was not cause to terminate. So, adopt a policy of simply confirming dates of employment.
- Consider Alternatives to Juries Like Arbitration
Wouldn't you prefer to have a businessperson decide rather than a jury of employees? Why not offer or require Commercial Rules Arbitration of employment termination disputes. To these general rules add one more: Know which laws are applicable in your jurisdiction. The laws are changing quickly and often vary from state to state.

Favorite Passages
Text-to-Self Connection
Setting: England, Wonderland during the Victorian era.
Main Character: Alice
Conflict: Alice follows a rabbit down a rabbit hole and lands in an unfamiliar place. She also undergoes many individual changes.
Story Details: Mad tea party, disappearing cat, caterpillar smoking a hookah, cards that are alive, and animals that talk.
This story is both hero and innocence in that she she goes to Wonderland on her own and she didn't know where she was going or what will happen in there.
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?" -Alice
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to." -Caterpillar
"I don't much care where –" -Alice
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go." -Caterpillar
"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle." -Alice
It resembles some questions that I have puzzled about as a senior.
I chose this novel because I had watched the movie and SparkNotes made it appealing.
I remember the mad tea party most.
If you like a story that doesn't reveal itself until the very end of it, this book is for you! This story talks about events that could never happen and you don't know why all of it happens until you reach the very last paragraph.
I would advise you to go buy this book because it relates to everyday obstacles by everything not making sense, at that point time. Although you do not know where you are heading in life, you should always have a goal, because if not then does it matter if you go anywhere in life? Read the book to see what I mean!
Time to go read it for yourself!

The Great Commander
"For Who is a God besides the LORD? And Who is a rock, besides our God?"
II Samuel 22:32
July 21, 1861 the First Battle of Bull Run occurred. It was the first real major conflict of the American Civil War. A Union army, consisting of 28,000 men, fought 33,000 Confederates. The Union army, under pressure to crush the rebellion in the South, marched towards Richmond, but met the Confederate forces coming from the North. At the beginning of this five hour battle, the soldiers had the confederates on the run except for one brigade led by General Thomas Jonathan Jackson. Jackson was known for his stubbornness and resilience to stand against any opposition. One man from another division saw Jackson mounted on his horse with such fierce boldness he yelled out, "There stands Jackson like stone wall…rally behind him", hence the nickname, "Stonewall Jackson".
Although the enemy's shots were soaring all around them, they saw Jackson standing before them as an impregnable wall of stone. Hearts of fear and bewilderment turned upward soaring with unwavering courage and newfound hope for victory. That day, in the heat of battle, Jackson was a symbol of valor for the Confederate soldiers. His banner of strength ascended above the plains of the battle field as a symbol of immoveable bravery for his men. Even in the face of the raging tempest of war they were anchored with a confidence that no enemy could stand in the face of. It was the banner of one man's life standing in the position of victory that made the difference upon the battle field. Fighting under the shadow and safety of Jackson's stance, the enemy's power to prevail diminished and trepidation took flight. All we need at times in the battle is one act of valiance anchored in the truth of victory for us to make it! The battle of life was never meant for us to fight!
Today, there is a banner flying high above our life mounted in the Heavens and it stands for victory for each and every one of us. This banner is a symbol of hope and courage. Every foe, every impending circumstance, all fear, every pain, suffering, struggle or strife exists under the shadow of this Holy Banner. It never lowers itself from above your life, not even in the darkness will it seek to rest from its purpose; to soar above you as a symbol of hope all the days of your life. It is this Holy Banner that will fly over your life no matter what assails it, until the day you die. God is an ever present help and a steadfast commander we can follow no matter where He leads.

100 startups, 50 from Europe and 50 from Africa are sponsored by the European Commission to attend the 6th EU-Africa Business Forum in Abidjan on 27 November 2017.
The Commission launched a public consultation on 12 May 2017 to collect input on whether the .eu legal framework still serves its purpose. The summary report provides an overview of the quantitative aspects and the main trends that emerged from the contributions.
The European Commission has opened an in-depth investigation into the proposal of the Romanian telecoms regulator ANCOM to continue applying the current price caps for the wholesale voice call termination services offered by Romanian fixed and mobile operators. The termination rates that ANCOM proposes to keep were set in 2014 on the basis of figures which are now outdated. The Commission notes that Romanian termination rates remain high in comparison to the termination rates in the other EU countries.
Greece is the 12th country to sign the European declaration on high-performance computing (HPC).
With this signature, Greece agreed to join the European effort to build the next generation of computing and data infrastructures.
The study explores some contractual aspects in copyright licencing linked to cross-border issues.
The document, prepared by the College of Europe, analyses the replies to the public consultation on the freedom of panorama exception.
This economic study provides for an overview per sector (music, images and audio-visual) of the role played by certain content sharing platforms in giving access to online copyright protected content.
The European Commission will soon launch a call for tenders for a service contract of a maximum value of EUR 50 000.
The purpose of this call for tenders is to support the work of a working group on digital entrepreneurship at the UN Broadband Commission on sustainable development (UN BBC)
The networking session on the 5G Infrastructure Public Private Partnership (5G PPP) will cover research and innovation topics on 5G PPP Phase 3 and global 5G collaborations, leveraging on the previous results of the 5G PPP initiative.

Why ECHO?
With so much business being done via contracts these days, there has to be an easy way to manage them. ECHO provides a web-based software solution for Federal vendors and Federal purchasers to manage their contractual agreements with one another.
- Missing deadlines
- Overpayments
- Increased business risk
- Loss of contract renewal due to poor management
Unlike an "enterprise contract management system," which usually requires a huge up-front investment and ongoing support, ECHO provides a clean, organized system that is well-designed, affordable, and easy to use.
Ledger Work now gives these companies an "easy to try, easy to buy" option to take control of their contracts and ultimately, the way business is conducted in the federal marketplace. The bottom line is, we are here to help your bottom line.

To ensure consistency in the data generated for this study, particularly that of microbiota profiles which are highly variable in phylogenetic composition across individuals, we will centralize all bacterial community profiling pertormed for this Program Project Grant application in Core D. To further standardize microbiome profiling efforts, analyses will be performed using the recently developed G3 16S rRNA PhyloChip, a phylogenetic microarray capable of detecting -60,000 bacterial taxa (defined as groups of organisms that share at least 99% 16S rRNA sequence homology) in a single assay. This approach provides a highresolution profile of the microbiota present, which due to the semi-quantitative data generated, is ideal for both comparative analyses across treatment groups and correlative analyses using measured immunological or environmental variables. The Core will be responsible for extraction of nucleic acids from house dust and stool samples using methods optimized for efficient extraction of both gram positive and negative organisms and for profiling the microbiota present in these samples. Personnel in the Core have extensive expertise in using this technology and in performing microbial ecology studies;these individuals will calculate gross bacterial community composition (BCC) indices (richness, Pielou's evenness and Inverse Simpson's diversity). In addition, Core personnel will generate datasets containing taxonomic relative abundance (based on normalized fluorescence intensity reported by the array) for each sample analyzed. All of this data will be transferred to the Biostatistics Core (Core B) for subsequent large-scale analyses. Use of Core D specifically for microbiome profiling for all Projects in this application ensures standardization of the approach used for microbiome profiling. It also permits data reduction by individuals with extensive expertise in microbiome data analyses using an established analysis pipeline. Finally, this level of consistency in microbiota profiling across all studies proposed in this application will permit cross comparisons between individual studies which is key to ensuring synergism between projects.
Finding discrete differences in microbiota profiles across exposure groups or in association with specific measured variables necessitates a highly standardized approach. The methods proposed in Core D will provide standardized sample handling and processing for bacterial community analysis in environmental and baby stool and, using an economical assay, determine the relative abundance of -60,000 bacterial groups in a single assay, providing a high-resolution profile of community composition for every sample analyzed in this study.

Image of Syrian boy a reflection of war-ravaged Aleppo
Syrian opposition activists have released video footage showing a young boy sitting in an ambulance after his rescue from a building hit by an airstrike in Aleppo. A screenshot of this video has gone viral. A Syrian Civil Defense volunteer rescue worker confirmed the boy, identified as 5-year-old Omran Daqneesh, was being treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
An hour after his rescue, the building the boy was in collapsed, the Associated Press reported.
Russia ready for cease-fire
The Russian military says it's ready to join a United Nations call for weekly, 48-hour cease-fires as soon as next week. The cease-fires would allow humanitarian aid deliveries to Aleppo. Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said Russia would support the cease-fires on the condition the aid trucks travel to both rebel-controlled and government-controlled sectors of Aleppo, and that Russia receive guarantees of safe passage from the U.S military.

Sometimes I drive myself crazy waiting till the last minute, but both of the boxes turned out very nice. Next ones I do will have the hardware that allows the drawer to come up when the lid is lifted. But those things were a little out of my budget this year

I have an HP Compaq nc8430 installed with Windows XP Professional. The screen is entirely too dim, and the culprit appears to be the ambient light sensor. I can shine my flashlight into the sensor window and the LCD lights up brilliantly. If I cover the ALS, it'll get very dark--as expected.
The probmem is, I have the ALS shut off in Windows using HPs QuickKeys, (FN+11), as well as turned off in the BIOS. I cannot turn up the brightness, nor find a way to turn off the ALS.
Is there a way to jumper past the sensor on the inverter at all, or perhaps something I'm missing? I installed the latest HP software using Softpaq, and updated the BIOS to v. F16. So far, no luck.

20-year-old photographer Felicia Simion, who recently reached out to us to share some of her latest images, has only become more masterful at her craft since we last posted her work three years ago.
Rather than confine herself to one genre of photography, the Romania-based creative dabbles in them all, mixing portraiture, landscapes, street scenes, and conceptual photography for a stunning portfolio of diverse images.
Several of her newest photos, which she labels as "dreamscapes," follow silhouetted figures in their journeys across vast, mysterious landscapes.
Wandering through surreal vistas such as endless mountain ranges and paths obscured by fog, the subjects appear small and isolated compared to the sweeping, grandiose beauty surrounding them.
According to Simion, this series follows her continuous quest in pursuit of happiness. She told us, "The choices I had to make only to escape the dull, the known and the feared.
But through him (the silhouette-shaped little man), I discovered the latent feelings inside me, the passion that needed to erupt out of my chest and breathe by itself.
This project is an ongoing journey where being small actually counts as great, giving me power and freedom to learn while creating."
We were lucky enough to have the opportunity to ask Simion a few questions about her passion and growth as a photographer. Be sure to read that exclusive interview, below.

Destiny: From guardians to farmers?
With the highly anticipated expansion, "House of Wolves," Destiny players were able to have a breath or fresh air. With the expansion that released May 19th, players got 5 new story missions, 1 new strike, tons of new legendary and exotic gear as well as a new end-game activity named The Prison of Elders (which has 4 difficulty levels) in place of a new raid.
We are Farmers...
A few new items were added to the game to help players reach the new Light level cap of 34. One of the new items is called Etheric Light. This item is used to "Ascend" your legendary gear from Light 36 to Light 42. Etheric Light has a chance to drop from the weekly nightfall strike, Trials of Osiris, Iron Banner rans 3 and 5 and from Prison of Elders (PoE).
The other new item is the Treasure key which is used to open the giant reward chest at the end of each Prison of Elders run. The key drops from new specialized public events that deal with clearing waves of fallen wolves and opening the chest that appears in the area within 1 minute and 30 seconds.
These items are a great help to help everyone reach the new level cap but the drop rate for them is so low, its basically non-existent. This has caused everyone to "farm" for etheric light in PoE to ascend their armor and weapons and the chests during the public events to get treasure keys in order to do PoE. The farming is such a huge nuisance for the Destiny community it frustrates people to the point where some don't bother going through with the farming.
I myself have farmed for 6+ hours and only got 2 keys on my day off from work. This is such a let down as the rest of the content is amazing but the drop rate and RNG loot system that Destiny has in place can be a real pain in the behind!
According to DeeJ, the Destiny community dev in this week's latest weekly update, Bungie is working on these issues and making sure us Guardians won't be farmers for long.

In Look-Alike Land, the more you look, the more you see! Using everything from acorns to zippers, artist Joan Steiner has created stunning three-dimensional scenes that will amaze and captivate puzzlers of all ages.
Several reissued picture books are just right for kids who love poring over detailed pages. The paper-over-board Look-Alikes: The More You Look, The More You See by Joan Steiner, first published in 1998, collects 11 photographic scenes of a train station, a city, a general store, a park, a circus and more, each composed of hundreds of everyday objects used in unexpected ways. A giant coffeepot becomes a train engine, razors resemble vacuum cleaners, and a tambourine transforms into a sandbox. A complete list of look-alikes provides an answer key at the end of the book.

We don't just extrude profiles.
We help create them.
We produce extruded plastic profiles. That's what we do, of course, but we do a lot else besides. We help create new products in close collaboration with our customers. Throughout the entire value chain, we bring our passion and our experience to bear so that our customers can rely on us to add extra value every step of the way.
In each of our business areas, you will find dedicated professionals with extensive experience in project development, materials science, standards and regulations, production methods and logistics. Teaming up with your experts, the combined team effort often creates entirely new solutions and smarter ways of getting the product to market.
What we learn in confidentiality stays confidential. That has always been the Primo way. But we still add to our knowledge base every day, in every project, and what we gain in experience will be to your benefit when we sit down to design a new profile product together.
From the initial rough idea to the first prototype, you'll find that we are behind you all the way. You know your market and your customers, and we know plastic extrusion down to the last detail. So once the first prototypes are being tested, you can rely on us to be passionately interested in the outcome. With our own tooling department, we can make adjustments quickly until everyone is happy and production can begin.
There's a lot more to our business than just plastic extrusion.

Lars Ulrich Considers 'Load' and 'Reload' 'Creatively On Par' With Every Other Metallica Record
"I'm very proud of those records," the drummer says.
Although "Load" and "Reload" are not something most fans see as the finest of Metallica's studio work, drummer Lars Ulrich would seemingly disagree, as he sees them as the group's most underappreciated releases. The drummer did admit that the image change the four-piece went through was an understandable shocker for fans at the time, but firmly concluded that the entire era was "creatively on par with everything else" the band has ever done.
"I think 'Load' and 'Reload' are great records," Ulrich said during a recent Revolver magazine interview. "They are creatively on par with every other record we've made. Obviously, theyre bluesier records, and at that time, we were listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and AC/DC, and we had a different kind of foundation than records before or after. And I understand that there are people who couldn't quite figure out what was going on with the haircuts and the rest of it, and that's fine.
"But musically, if you strip all that other stuff away, if you just listen to the 27 songs - 'Load' and 'Reload' were intended as one double-record - it's a great collection of songs that is on par with everything else that we've done creatively. But, I mean, who needs another person to sit there and argue about, you know, f--king 'Carpe Diem Baby?' They are different records, but that was the intention. [laughs] It's not like we sat there and thought we were remaking '... And Justice for All.' [laughs] We are obviously aware of that. But I think personally theres great songs on both of those records and Im very proud of those records."
As far as the new Metallica record goes, the drummer didn't give too much new info, saying once again that the band is still in the early writing phase and that "there's no rush" to it.
"We're in the early stages of writing, and all I can say is there are some good things lurking. It's fun. Between doing the film and the Orion Festival, we've been taking a few days here and there to shift through riffs and get all that shit done. We've got to put them into song shape and get our asses in the studio. I hope we can do that by the end of the year, maybe early next year.
"2014 is a bit optimistic for the album to come out, so '15 is more realistic. But listen, there's no rush. It's gonna take what it takes."
In related news, Devin Townsend reached the topic of Metallica in one of his recent interviews, saying he is confident they "have got more money than God." When asked to comment on Kirk Hammett's statement saying that the band has to tour due to financial reasons, Townsend replied:
"I'm sure Metallica have got more money than God, but they have got a group of people who rely on them. They've become like a family over the years," 41-year-old tells the Irish Times. "There are lots of people who are heavily invested in the project. In order to keep the boat floating to allow them to do what they do with these people, they've got to make sure that everybody makes a living."

EXACTLY the same!
We will soon be awarded support from the National Institutes of Health for a clinical trial of interventions to benefit children with CM whose brains have massively increased in size.; Having identified the problem, we will now be able to evaluate different treatment options. It is thrilling. And, as luck would have it, Madonna is building a pediatric ICU at our hospital, right across the driveway from our MRI. The timing is PERFECT! I am currently fundraising for nurses' salaries (we need to staff the ICU): $20,000 per year, per nurse --- and the trial runs for six years AND for the hardware and software for an electronic medical record system. We are working with a high quality local group, the Baobab Health Trust (http://baobabhealth.org), and they estimate that the hardware and software development will cost $100,000.
Absolutely. I am astounded at the "reach" --- it has brought word of our work to far more people than I would have ever dreamed possible.
Be sure to always check the batteries in the "remotes".

LADY Gaga really put the gag in gaga after she let someone vomit on her live on stage during a show.
It happened during her set at the SXSW festival.
If you can believe, it was actually an artistic stunt though many simply found it, well, sick.
Gaga was playing drums on a song called "Swine" when Millie Brown, a self-styled "vomit painter", performed her routine.
According to TMZ, Brown drank neon green liquid then threw it up all over the controversial singer.
The reactions on Twitter ran from amazement to disgust, with most falling in the latter category.
I am a fan of Lady Gaga but this vomit stunt from #SXSW is foul & equates bulimia with art, while cheapening what art is at the same time.
— Conor McAdam (@CJMcAdam) March 14, 2014
Others were more supportive.
If you can't handle Lady Gaga covered in vomit, then you don't deserve her covered in Versace.

text: http://apnews.myway.com/article/20050527/D8ABOPG81.html RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - King Fahd, the elderly Saudi ruler whose actions to strengthen the oil kingdom's ties with the United States provoked the wrath of Islamic militants, was hospitalized Friday, apparently suffering from pneumonia. Fahd's half brother, Crown Prince Abdullah, has been Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler since Fahd suffered a debilitating stroke in 1995. Abdullah is expected to become king should Fahd die. Nevertheless, Saudi Arabia's strategic importance as the holder of the world's largest oil reserves and the fact that it is home to Islam's two holiest shrines means even a stable succession could impact world markets and have widespread political fallout. The government's official news agency said only that Fahd, who is believed to be 82, was admitted to King Faisal Specialist Hospital in Riyadh for unspecified medical tests. But reports of Fahd's deteriorating health had been blamed for sending the Saudi stock market tumbling 5 percent earlier in the week. Friday's news that he was taken to a hospital helped push crude oil futures to near $52 a barrel ahead of the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend, the start of the American summer driving season. An Arab official, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said the Saudi government had put the kingdom - the world's largest oil exporter - on a state of alert and canceled military leaves. Other officials confirmed the alert among security forces and said leaves were being discouraged and government meetings with foreign dignitaries would be canceled. The Interior Ministry denied that any emergency had been declared. "This is absolutely not true," ministry spokesman Mansour al-Turki said. "There's no canceling of leaves and no state of emergency or anything." Asked about the king after a speech in San Francisco, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she did not know the extent of his health problems. "He has in fact had some health problems for quite a long time. We have an excellent relationship with Crown Prince Abdullah," Rice said. With the portly, goateed Fahd only a figurehead in the last decade, it has been Abdullah who has overseen the kingdom's crackdown on Islamic militants after followers of Saudi-born Osama bin Laden launched a wave of attacks. Abdullah tried to rebuild relations with the United States in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks; 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. At one Riyadh coffee shop Friday, patrons flipped from channel to channel on a television set, intently seeking information on Fahd's condition. "This is all we're talking about tonight," said one man who would give his name only as Khaled. "Everyone is talking about what is going on. ... We're waiting for more news." On the streets, there was no sign of an increased security presence. One official said doctors believe the monarch has pneumonia. The official requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of his position. A royal office official said the king had a fever and "water in his lung" but was expected to leave the hospital soon. He did not elaborate. "We ask God to keep and protect the Custodian of the Two Holy Shrines, grant him health and well-being," said the royal office statement announcing the hospitalization, carried by the Saudi Press Agency. Fahd, who rose to the throne in 1982, suffered short-term memory loss and an inability to concentrate for long stretches after his stroke in 1995. Visitors who saw him after the stroke reported the king was barely aware of what was going on around him and could not recognize those who shook his hand. Fahd is the son of the founder of modern Saudi Arabia, King Abdul-Aziz. During his rule, Fahd brought the kingdom closer to the United States. His most significant action was a step that enraged many Islamic extremists - allowing the basing of U.S. troops on Saudi soil after the 1990 Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Bin Laden, the al-Qaida leader, cited the U.S. troops' presence as a main provocation for launching the Sept. 11 attacks as well as a wave of violence inside the kingdom. The U.S. military withdrew all its combat forces from Saudi Arabia in 2003 after major combat operations in Iraq were declared over. But a small military contingent stayed behind in a training and advisory role to Saudi armed forces. The United States and Saudi Arabia have been talking in recent months about organizing joint training exercises for U.S. and Saudi ground combat forces on Saudi territory. During his rule, Fahd tried to balance overtures toward the West with concessions to hard-liners, hoping to boost his Islamic credentials. He had himself named the custodian of Islam's two holiest sites, in the western Saudi cities of Mecca and Medina. In 1981, when he was still a crown prince, Fahd proposed a plan calling for Israel to withdraw from all Arab territory occupied in 1967, including Arab East Jerusalem. According to that plan, Israeli settlements built on Arab lands after 1967 would be dismantled. The West Bank and Gaza Strip would come under U.N. control for a limited period, after which an independent Palestinian state would be set up with Jerusalem as its capital.

GQUser is a class in another of the five smallish projects that make up my application. In the project of which my JUnit test is a part of, I get it via a JAR. Once I step past that statement, however, and I click on smacko in the (debugger) Variables pane to see its value, the value appears as (the exception) noted above.
This happens regardless of whether I put this code in my test method or in setUp().
I've Googled this and found 9 results--several people have seen this, some in exactly my same circumstances. Only 2 of them are interesting in that they have answers and neither shows any real explanation or an encouraging solution. One answer is by someone who completely gives up. The other one waffles. I've also asked around a bit here, but none of my acquaintances have ever seen it.
This mess absolutely destroys any chance I have of being able to step through my application as this class is used all over. While this situation is created to simplify what's happening (which it does very nicely), I have a class, ProgGlobals, that must instantiate several pieces of static final data of this class in order to function. I am unable to see a way to program around it.
Thanks for reading this and for any comments made.

To update this issue, I have discovered that the class is indeed loaded and functioning. It's just the Eclipse debugger that does not somehow have access to it. What's going on underneath, however, is fine and working as expected: I just can't look directly at it in the debugger. A print statement in the code, even when running the debugger, demonstrates that all is well. Go figure.

I have the same problem with eclipse J2EE Version: 3.4.0. Have you solved it with a newer eclipse version?
1)What is your JAVA_HOME version in your command prompt type echo %path%
2)In your eclipse IDE go to Windows Preferences, select java then complier that is where your JDK is, make sure its the same as your java home
3) At bottom of the preferences window if you are not using a compatiable jre it will prompt you, make sure its using the same version as your JDK in my case 1.6

There is as much as a $4 trillion gap between what states have promised their public workers in retirement pensions and what they've actually set aside and invested in order to pay for them.
There are enough reasons this has happened to count as a survey question on the most boring episode of Family Feud ever—states and cities didn't set aside enough money, employees didn't contribute enough, and guaranteed investment returns are overestimated, among many other problems.
But what does the average American think about the pension crisis and what would they do? A small number of communities like Phoenix, Arizona, and San Jose, California, have put pension reform in the voters' hands, with mixed results. In our latest Reason-Rupe poll, we decided to focus almost entirely on the pension crisis, asking Americans how seriously they view the problem and what sort of trade-offs they would accept to fix it.
Yes, Americans Are Concerned About the Pension Crisis
Pension worriers will be pleased to hear that Americans are at least paying attention. A full 72 percent of those polled are either "very" or "somewhat" concerned about state and local governments' ability to fund the pensions they've promised to public employees. A similar number (74 percent) are concerned that state or local governments will raise taxes in the future in order to meet these pension obligations. When asked to prioritize dealing with the pension crisis, 35 percent said pension reform should be a top priority, while 41 percent said pension reform should be an important but lower priority.

Software Restriction Policies is wrongly applied to Administrator
I have Windows 7 64-bit and have configured Software Restriction Policies so that "Disallowed" is the default security level. I also have Path Rules defined so that software in C:\Program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), and C:\Windows can execute. I also want it to apply to only my limited user account, so it is configured for "All users except local administrators".
But it is still affecting my admin account. When I'm logged in as my admin user and I try to run any executable file in the C:\Users\admin\Downloads directory, I get a popup saying "This program is blocked by group policy."
Any idea why the Software Restrictions Policies are affecting my admin account even though it is set to "All users except local administrators"?

Hello Delerious, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Did you do this through Group Policy?
If so, then double check using the tutorial below to see if this how you setup the separate "All users except local administrators" group policy snap-in to set these policies in.
Local Group Policies - Apply to All Users Except AdministratorsYou might also look at AppLocker to see if it may work for this as well for you.

Thanks Shawn. I think this is related to UAC. If I run an executable file using "Run as administrator", then it runs fine and doesn't get blocked.

Win 8 Pro
I know this thread is old, but I found something yesterday that causes this very symptom, and since I couldn't find the answer after Googling for days, I thought I'd post what I found so it might help someone else.
Like delerious above, I configured Software Restriction Policies (under Computer Configuration), and under Enforcement, Apply software restriction policies to the following users, I selected All users except local administrators. I set the Security Levels default to Disallowed, and then built the rest of the policy by creating the Additional Rules (mainly path rules). All this went into a new GPO that was intended to be used only for SRP configuration.
When I tested with user accounts, it worked as expected, but my admin account was also denied access. I hate when my system tells me access denied. <grrr>
I Googled and found others who had this problem (here, superuser, wildersecurity) but no solutions. I somehow stumbled onto another GPO and discovered that it had software restriction policies enabled too. I checked its settings, and found that nothing had been changed from the defaults. It was as if another administrator found the "No Software Restriction Policies Defined" message, so he clicked on New Software Restriction Policies menu item. But then he didn't configure anything.
Which would have been OK, except for the fact that -- and here's an example of yet another retarded Microsoft default -- the Apply software restriction policies to the following users radio button is set to All users by default. I found several other GPOs had been done this way. So guess what? All those GPOs were somehow overriding the one configured correctly.
After deleting all those unintended policies (and I might have rebooted the test machine, probably cussed a lot), it works like a champ.
Note: something else I learned through all this is that rsop.msc is your friend.

Q: What is SUP?
A: Essentially, SUP is standing on a stable surfboard while using a single blade paddle to propel yourself through the water. Stand up paddleboarding's roots are Hawaiian, dating back to the 1960s in Waikiki or even earlier!
Q: It looks like a surfboard. Do I have to know how to surf?
A: Not at all, but you must know how to swim since you will be in water.
Q: Where do I go for my lesson?
A: Beautiful Jordan Lake in Apex, NC or access points in Chapel Hill, NC! SUP on Jordan Lake is ideal. There's much to explore! Prior to your lesson we will contact you via phone or email to confirm location and meeting place.
Q: What should I bring?
A: A swimsuit or comfy water loving clothing, sunscreen & a towel. In the Fall/Winter, please be prepared with warm clothing, booties, etc. Also, if you wear glasses, be sure to have a strap so that they stay on! (See policies & lesson checklist under Lessons Tab.)
Q: What about adverse weather and wind conditions?
A: Sometimes, due to adverse weather or extreme wind conditions, we may have to cancel your lesson. In the event that we are unable to paddle, we will reschedule your lesson immediately. We'll be sure to contact you if things aren't looking safe enough to paddle.
Q: I want to buy my own board for your classes. What does a full paddleboarding setup cost?
A: Depending on the brand, model, & size, the cost of a good SUP board and paddle ranges from about $1,200 to $2,800 +. This is a "get what you pay for" kind of sport. As a Jimmy Lewis Boards ambassador, I can help you discover the difference quality makes!
Q: Do you rent your SUP boards?
A: We offer 2 + hours of time on your board accompanied by an instructor, have frequent paddler passcards. and make it easy for you to enjoy free-style exploration in all of our classes. Our rates and equipment are often better than any rental. You get much much more for your money at LYFSUP!
Q: Is there a minimum or maximum age or size to paddle?
A: The minimum age to attend our classes is 12 years old. All minors require parental permission. As long as you are in reasonable good health, there is no reason why anyonecannot paddle. Our boards can handle up to 275 - 300lbs.
Q: What forms of payment are accepted?
A: Payments must be made at our meeting place just outside of the park. Cash or check always accepted. We'll accept everything Paypal accepts at some point - credit, debit & electronic funds transfer.
Q: What does 'LYF' mean? Is that a word or does it stand for something else?
A: Both! You may be surprised to know that our present day spelling of "life" has appeared with the spelling "lyf" in old texts. LYF is also our acronym for Light Your Fire and Love Your Fitness. Because when you learn to paddleboard, you will stoke your inner fire and fall in love with fitness again!

Kylie Jenner Borrows Kim's Coat & Rocks It
Kylie Jenner is the queen of all that is fashion and makeup. Seen spotted arriving at her mothers management office in Calabasas, California Kylie wore an extremely daring outfit that showed off her taut stomach and amazingly long legs. We must admit, the color scheme looked absolutely gorgeous in contrast with her long, jet-black hair extensions that she recently collaborated with Bellami Hair Extensions to create.
The curls hung loosely against her tight white crop top as she wore a beautiful long blue-ish grey trench coat along with her incredibly chic outfit. Continuing with the color scheme Kylie wore a pair of tight ripped skinny jeans that flattered her figure amazingly and reached just above the ankle. Accessorizing with a grey handbag and opting for a pair of grey pumps, Kylie contributed to this edgy "bad girl" look with a pair of sunnies as she was photographed once again this time to have been coming to a meeting.
Although she may be the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, this 17 year old has already been planning multiple business ventures to supply her fans with endless amounts of clothing and hair to help recreate that infamous Kylie Jenner look. Although she may not be as curvaceous as her older sisters, Kylie Jenner's body is a dream!
