Mayhem # 3316478
About MeAshley Young developed an interest for the art of fashion at a very young age watching fashion television in her living room and starting her modeling career at 16. Her passion strives from her love of beauty and fashions as well as her dedication to helping women enhance their natural beauty with her artistry.
Passion, creativity, and the pursuit of perfection drives her success. Ash believes that makeup has been pre-conceived as something that interposes on someone's natural look or that it masks it, but this is not the case according to Ash. Makeup is simply a tool or technique, that with a bit of skill, can be used to accentuate your natural beauty.
Ash graduated from the makeup artistry program at the world-renowned John Casablanca Institute of Applied Arts and before even graduating was able to take the leap into the professional world being asked to work on photo-shoots as well as fashion shows with some of Vancouver's best. Since graduating, Ash has taken on many projects and has continued to challenge her creativity to keep up with all of the latest trends.

congrats to our winner Annette!
This post is written in partnership with DERMAFLASH
Sometimes, it still feels weird–that I'm this adult woman- responsible for shaping the fragile psyches of these two precious little people. What have I learned in the past 15 years about being a Mom (calling myself a Mother just doesn't sit right with me- too stern and serious!)? That like all other aspects of our lives we need to be our own cheerleaders! Rather than wait for the adulation and recognition about how wonderful we are–we need to pat ourselves on the back and shower ourselves with gifts.
Keep reading for a few tips to help you feel comfortable in your skin and recharge your self- both body and mind- because SMART BEAUTY starts from the inside out! And the best part- we are giving one DERMAFLASH away to one lucky reader!
Tips to get the skin you want: DERMAFLASH is an exfoliating device specifically created for the delicate skin on a woman's face. This little magic wand removes dead skin cells and built up debris from the skin's surface, while also getting rid of peach fuzz. DERMAFLASH instantly reveals smooth, radiant, camera-ready skin.
Check out my video below!
Inventor & founder Dara Levy owned a high-end med spa and sold over 6,000 dermaplaning treatments in five years. Dara loved how radiant her clients looked after a treatment and noticed an amazing difference in their confidence level. She had an epiphany that an at-home dermaplaning solution did not exist. She immediately got to work and spent the next three years researching and developing DERMAFLASH and the proprietary Edge system. DERMAFLASH now brings you HOLY S#!T SKIN IN JUST THREE STEPS.
DERMAFLASH enables all women to deal with their skincare issues on their own schedule in the privacy and comfort of their own homes. "Our skin cells turn over every 28 days. If we do not exfoliate, those cells build up and lead to a drab and dull complexion. This buildup impedes our skincare from doing its work and pesky peach fuzz gets in the way of flawless makeup application. When we remove the buildup on our faces, we instantly reveal the soft, smooth, luminous skin underneath," shares Dara Levy (founder, inventor). As Dara always says, "The skin you want is lying just beneath the skin you see! DERMAFLASH takes you From Fuzzy To Fabulous In A Flash!" Feeling is believing.
Tips to Get Physically Fit! Are you ready to jump right into regular workouts? Ready to bare your bathing suit-body? What do new seasonal beginnings actually look like? Nutritionist and Health Expert, Trishna Joshi shares these tips to do it all with the least amount of pressure.
EAT THIS, NOT THAT: The winter months have had us reaching for warm (not waistline-friendly) comfort foods. Time to swap out those heavy foods for lighter variations that still satisfy your cravings. Trishna recommends trying sautéed garlic spinach instead of creamed spinach and quinoa bowls topped with fresh, light flavors including roasted vegetables, vinaigrettes, lemon, and herbs. Opt for spaghetti squash or spiralized zucchini to replace pasta. The emphasis should be on lighter dressings and seasonings, fresher ingredients.
ON THE ROAD-READY SNACKS: The important factor here is to think about what foods that travel well and to pick snacks that will be play if they get bumped and do not have to be refrigerated. Nuts, seeds and kale chips are always a good choice: low in calories and in fat. Roasted chickpeas are high in potion and in starch that keeps you fuller longer. If you're taking a cooler, opt for yogurt. Pair hummus and peanut butter with celery or cucumbers because they're non-starchy vegetables. Remember that protein helps to satiate your appetite while sweets tend to make you hungrier.
BLOAT-LESS BITES: Hiding under layers has come to an end – we'll be sporting spring dress and bathing suits shortly and now is no time for bloating. Trisha advises to stock up on fiber and potassium from bananas to help reduce water retention. Also reach for melons, leafy greens, artichokes, avocados, yogurt, cucumbers, tomatoes, berries, asparagus, almonds, and eggs.
EXERCISE EATS: What you eat before and after a workout is critical for energy, rebuilding and maintaining a healthy weight.
PRE-WORKOUT: Contrary to what you might believe, Trishna recommends to snack on carbs! Cereal, oatmeal, yogurt with granola, and peanut butter toast are all great options.
POST-WORKOUT: You need to opt for something with protein to help replenish muscles: cottage cheese with fruit, an omelet, bean salad, pita with hummus, or chicken salad.
Don't discount how essential it is to Recharge Your Mind. Wellness Coach and Fitness Instructor, Sonia Satra, shares tips to re-energize your mental and physical routines to get you springing into action:
THE POWER OF PERSPECTIVE: Just the mere mention of 'bathing suit' sends shockwaves through our system. Rather than approaching the layer-shedding season with the knee-jerk reaction of dread or anxiety, how about changing your perspective? What would be possible then?
BONUS TIP: Step into a variety of different perspectives on getting in swimsuit-ready shape – ask yourself, "What if I succeeded?" "What if I did nothing?" Say to yourself, "I feel sexy," "It's fun." Listen to your body's reaction to these new perspectives and choose one to focus on. Now fully embody this fresh perspective. Remember how it felt, what sound it had. Notice how your posture, breathing, even outlook changes.
DEFENSE KNOCKDOWN: How many times have you said, "I'll start tomorrow?" or "I don't have enough time in the day?" Transition and change almost instinctively activate the fear of the unknown and this is when our defenses go up. Many of us will choose to stay where we are just because it's familiar. What small steps can you take daily that will help build your confidence and familiarity with this new unknown?GO
FOR THE GOAL: The 'Mindset Reset' challenge encourages you to break down larger goals into one specific and measurable goal because our brains are more effective when they focus on one thing at a time. Whether it's giving up sweets or working out five days a week, choose a different piece of your goal that's obtainable and awards you with "quick wins".
BONUS TIP: In the world of instant gratification, the biggest hurdle is accepting that transformation won't happen overnight. Shortcuts or an excessive approach for a week won't help you reach your goal. We ultimately want lasting change instead of making diet and exercise a grueling seasonal thing – commit to one small goal every day that will get you closer to your bigger goal.
WORKOUT WARRIOR: A total mind and body transformation will come from making healthy habits – after awhile, these become practices you crave rather than dread. For maximum results, aim for 30-50 minutes per workout. Try doing 2 days of an intense workout (boxing or plyometrics), 2 days of moderately intense (running or biking) and 1-2 days of a lighter workout (Pilates or yoga). It's also important to have a day or two to give your mind and body a chance to rest and recover.

Now, in a bleak but breathtaking world of shimmering icebergs, deep blue crevasses, and never-ending sun, Wilde must unravel the mystery of this doomed couple. Were they the innocent victims of fear and superstition - or were they something far darker?
His search will lead from the barracks and battlefields of the Crimean War to the unexplored depths of the Antarctic Ocean, from the ill-fated charge of the Light Brigade to an age-old curse that survives to this day.
As the ice around the murdered lovers begins to melt, Wilde will have to grapple with a miracle - or a nightmare - in the making. For what is dead, it turns out, may not be gone. And here, at the very end of the known world, there's nowhere to hide and no place left for the living to run.

"Not as good as expected"
I loved Vigil and Bestiary but this book just didn't quite live up to his normal fast paced unusual stories. It is still a good book but not what I was expecting given his past efforts and the cover blurb on this book.
"I really enjoyed this book"
I like how it takes us back and forth from on century to the current day. I love how it really engaged me in the history and just interesting things about the South Pole. I was a great listen for me and I didn't want to stop until the end. Only thing I didn't like is the swear words. Seriously I think all books could do without them!!!
"Surprise ending and plot to this takes a lot of turns and twists surprised myself by liking this"
Surprising he's your interest word by word a lot of twists and turns and very favorable characters really enjoyed this surprising to myself voiceover
"cool twist"
cool twist on an old theme. it's pretty well done in this version. couple ideas were out of synch, though
"A book to get lost in"
an interesting take on vampires
the discription of the Crimea war
he is great and easy to listen I think that hearing and reading are like comparing apples and organges, both are great
This was a book I didn't want to put down even to sleep. I hope to see more from this author and narrator. I hope the author leaves out the F word it is not needed.
"Pretty good book, not my favorite though..."
I enjoyed this book, but not as much as some of the others books by this author. The performance was exceptional and loved the actor's ability to make all the characters so believable.
"full of surprises"
This book was full of surprises and a good fiction listen. The hero saves the girl but it was a bitter sweet ending
"Interesting concept, not quite pulled off"
I found the story difficult to get into at first and found that it dragged on a bit and became a bit hard to follow.
"Too predictable"
I would not recommned because it is predictable, shallow and lacked a satisfactory ending.
I hated his pronounciation of Lieutenant. There is no F in the word!
sure, I did not have a better book to listen to at the time.

The Spread Column function for checkbox is not working correctly in my formAsked by igreenha on November 27, 2013 at 10:10 AM
The spread seems to be ok in the form builder, but not on the live form. I'm trying to spread to 3 columns, but neither 3 nor 2 columns seem to have any effect on the live form.
Thanks for contacting us.
I cloned your form and tried to apply the change and I was able to reproduce the issue.
In the form builder:

I also made a test with one of my own, but at this time it worked fine:
However, I was not able to find the reason of this behavior. I deleted all the fields except the checkbox, however, the issue still persists. So I have forwarded this bug to our next level support so that they can look for a prompt solution to this issue.

The saguaro cactus, known scientifically as Carnegiea gigantea, is an iconic plant representative of the American Southwest and northern Mexico. These plants, well-adapted to the desert conditions of high temperature and low rainfall, can be used for a variety of purposes. Even after a cactus dies, its woodlike ribs and calloused boots may be rendered useful.
Construction Materials
Saguaro ribs have been used to make wattle and daub house walls. These portions of dead saguaro stems are strong but lightweight enough to be used as a roofing material atop stone structures.
Fuel and Fire-starting
Dead saguaro cacti can be used as a fuel for fires, particularly friction fires. Saguaro ribs also provide suitable material for bowdrill sets. Sets consist of spindles and fireboards made of the ribs, which are used in combination with a wooden bow, bowstring and hard socket that are worked properly to start tinder on fire.
Saguaro Fruit Harvesting Tool
The fruits that develop atop living saguaro cacti annually are traditionally harvested with a tool made from saguaro ribs that consists of long pieces and a crosspiece.
Splints and Canes
The woody saguaro ribs have been used as splints for broken bones. Ribs are also suitable for use as canes or walking sticks.
Decorating and Furniture
Saguaro cacti ribs have been incorporated into home decorations and furnishings. Native Americans used the ribs to make parts of babies' cradles. The boots from the saguaro, the calloused structures that form around holes made by nesting birds to prevent water loss, can be used as containers.
Anyone interested in harvesting saguaro, a federally protected species, from public lands should contact their local Bureau of Land Management and check the specific laws pertaining to their region. In Arizona for example, saguaro ribs that are down and dead can be harvested only for personal use. The annual amount is limited to what a person can manually carry to the vehicle in one load.

Ditto on the ganache! You can control the consistency you want, and there's not beating the taste of dark chocolate, cream and a touch of butter.

Ty, the Chi-blocker, had just gotten through her portal to her destination after getting tossed in. But oddly during the trip, something had hit her and now she had a companion with her. When they got there, she landed on her feet while her companion tumbled to the floor. Where they landed in was on the edge of a bamboo forest.
"You okay?" Ty asked, rushing to the girl...this other girl was Raven, being tossed in by Slenderman. She came too after a bit to see this oddly smiley girl in her face.
"Uh...can I help you?" Raven asked, getting up.
"No. Do you need any help is what should be asked." Ty said.
"I'm fine thanks. Now if you don't mind I'm going back." Raven was about to fly through the portal but it closed on her, having her fly into a tree right behind.
"Oh boy. You better be more careful." Ty said with a smile as Raven was rubbing her head.
"Yeah sure whatever. Now...where am I?"
"Where are we you mean? I'm not from here either."
"You're not?...hey, what's your name anyway?"
"I'm Ty Lee. You can just call me Ty. And you are?"
"Raven. Now I have to look around, see where we are." Raven went on up and flew up sways but not before Ty fallowed, hopping through the bamboo shoots, impressing Raven with her agility through the trees.
"You part monkey or something?" Raven asked.
"No. Just a lot of fun practice." Ty replied with a smile. Raven can tell from that smile that she too, like Starfire, had that happy personality...she's stuck with another Starfire. Great.
The two kept traveling through the bamboo forest until they stumbled into a village. The village seemed inviting a bit as they walked in. But right now no one's seemingly up. They both weren't sure where they are, and Raven felt they were back in time. Ty though, her world in the same time zone as this, felt like she was just in a different place, not a different world.
The two kept looking around but they couldn't recognize anything. The people were all animals instead, mainly boar guards. They only stopped at a point when Raven began to get that odd suspicion that they're being watched...then it started to rain.
"Oh great. Rain, just the thing to make it worse." Raven groaned. Ty looked around and noticed a dry cave close to the nearby mountains. Raven was gonna protest but Ty was already there so Raven hovered inside. They both can smell the mist of clean flowing water from the cave as they were going inward. It didn't take very long to see what it lead to.
What was at the end of the tunnel is a more opened up cavern. It had a flowing waterfall going through one of the walls into a deep Pool. Raven and Ty were amazed with the place. Raven for the calming feeling the place gave, and Ty for just the shear beauty of it. There was a platform right by the pool, used for meditation most likely. But they also kept quiet, seeing that someone (or something) was meditating on the platform, levitating slightly like Raven does. The two tried to not disturb him but...
"Don't be afraid. I know you're here."
Now they both were caught as the figure suddenly jumped right in their way. Raven got in a fighting stance, a bit alarmed by the sudden movement. Now they got a better look at this guy. He had a blue hooded ninja outfit, and looked like an Anthro red raccoon.
"I'm not here to fight. Start by your names." he said, with a wise calm voice.
"Okay sir. I'm Lee. Ty Lee. And this is Raven. And you are?"
"Rioichi Cooper. Why are you interrupting my meditation?"
"We're sorry. It's just someone ran in here to avoid the rain." Raven said. Rioichi was now walking around them, examining them.
"...You don't seem familiar for the local villagers..."
"You're right. We're not. Don't be alarmed but we...kinda are from...other worlds?" Ty said, adding a nervous smile.
"Don't worry. Ninjas are never alarmed. After everything that has happened lately, I believe you." Rioichi said, calming Raven and Ty down a bit. Rioichi walked back to the platform, instead of meditating he went fishing.
"So...can you tell us where we are Rioichi? We really need to get back." Raven said.
"I'm sorry Raven-chan. You are in my hometown of Japan but I can't help for letting you home. I'm sorry." Rioichi said. Then Ty's stomach started to growl.
"Well...then do you at least have anything to eat? Meat? Soup? An apple even?" Ty said.
"I used to have a sushi shop back at the village...but El Jefe closed it down, and left me with no job." Rioichi sighed. Ty can tell that he wanted his shop back, Raven too.
"...Maybe we can help." Raven said.
"Yeah! We can help you get your shop back!" Ty beamed.
"You will?"
"Sure thing. You want it back don't you? I'm sure it can help everyone." Rioichi got up and looked at the sorceress and ninja.
"Ty-chan. Raven-chan. I'm honored that you agreed to help me gain my shop back."
"No problem. Why did the sushi shop closed anyway?" Ty asked.
"El Jefe framed me for selling poisoned sushi to the village. But I would never do such a thing to my customers, otherwise my shop would of closed before El Jefe presented himself."
"Who's El Jefe anyway?"
"El Jefe is a powerful mercenary of the highest order...at least that's what he keeps bragging about. You'll probably see him when we reach the shop. Let's go." with that Rioichi bolted off to the shop. Ty and Rae went off after him, now having a new mission.

Re: The Park
You better hurry, Larry.
Our former national parks, as well as the entire nation, have been under the steady, insideous and increasingly vicious assault of UN Agenda 21 since the 1992 UN meeting in Rio de Janero. It, in effect, has given away a large chunk of our national sovereignty including personal property rights.
The Everglades will be completely closed to the public before long if we don't force our "representatives" to represent us. Most of our parks are now UN World Heritage Biosphere Reserves. Biscayne Bay also was, and remains, under seige like the Everglades.
"Every Biosphere Reserve site consists of a protected CORE area, set aside strictly for conservation; a surrounding BUFFER ZONE, with limited human activity allowed; and a larger TRANSITION area, where otherwise legal human use may be severely restricted when the site is judged to be "in danger."
"Today, Yellowstone Park is still considered to be "in danger," according to the UN, because of "year-round visitor pressure." Too many U.S. tourists taking their kids to see Old Faithful, the global bureaucrats in Paris say."
The Florida Keys is one such "Buffer zone" and people (like two friends of mine) who'd just bought their waterfront dream property on Lobster Lane in 1991, suddenly found the following year that Monroe County had passed an Agenda 21 scheme the month following the Rio Conference.
Now, they had to buy TWO ADDITIONAL lots then DONATE them to Monroe County, in order to get a building permit.
Don't believe it - do a search for "Donatable ROGO lots for sale FL. Keys".
ROGO stands for "Rate Of Growth Ordinance" - a "Sustainable Growth" provision of Agenda 21.
So thousands of middle class citizens who'd bought lots with the intention of building on it after retiring had that dream erased in July 1992, and were not compensated for that loss by government.
It is not only our military that's under UN control, but town, county and state govts as well.
The recent "Public Meeting" on that issue, Boz, was so little publlicized that I didn't even hear about it, or I'd have been there ranting at full volume.
If I were to take a wild guess, it would be that your pictures were possibly taken in the vicinity of Snake Bight out of Flamingo maybe even further east towards Twisty, which is one of the projected "motor free" channels. Twisty is the route from here to Flamingo.

Author | exchange4media Chennai Bureau | Friday, May 20,2005 8:31 AM
Raj TV, the Tamil entertainment channel, is consistently gearing up for its makeover. In a phased revamp, the channel is strengthening its Monday to Thursday 7 pm to 10 pm time-band with new shows. It is looking to introduce fresh programming content in the afternoon time-bands too, in due course.
Speaking to exchange4media, V Chandrasekaar, Executive Vice-President, Programming and Production, Raj TV, said, "We are revamping most of the in-house productions. From June 5, our film-based shows will have a face-lift. In the afternoon time bands, we are now repeating some of the popular serials from the past, and soon, say by August, fresh programming will start in the afternoon bands too."
In a tie-up with production house Minbimbangal, the channel is to source two new soaps, which will start in July. While one of these will air in the 8:30 pm to 9:00 pm slot, the timing of the other is still undecided. In addition to the new shows, the channel has acquired a library of veteran director K Balachander's work for Television, and will air the same in the 5 pm to 6 pm slot. These include the popular 'Kaiyalavu Manasu' and 'Marmadesam' serials.
On the new serials, B Kailasam, Managing Director, Minbimbangal, said, "The two new serials are based on two very different concepts. They will be very hard-hitting and totally different from the run of the mill storylines."
The channel is also set to air dubbed serials including Osai (Ahat on Sony) and CID. These will air between 9.30 pm and 10.30 pm on Monday to Thursday. The morning slots would not see much of new programming, but there would be a revamp in terms of 'look and feel', according to Chandrasekaar.

4. Know Your Product
Packaging copy must tell your customers what you want them to know as well as what else they need to know. These two aspects are not always the same. There is a fine line between these two things. Don't let off all the secrets to the customers that might harm your business structure but do inform them the necessary facts that they rightfully need to know.
5. Know Your Personality
Is your brand/product personality serious or is it just a sort of fun? Your packaging design i.e. shape, size, colours, textures, imagery, and type fonts must work together to reflect the personality of your products. Don't be too reluctant to use humors but on the other hand, don't make it too funny so that no customer would take your work seriously.
6. Know Your Materials Well
Can the design be reproduced effectively in mass and is it cost effective to reproduce? Will your materials stand up well in the retail landscape? These are some very dire questions that are needed to be taken care of properly. Your materials should be long lasting and effective starting from the initial transport to its life in the owner's house.
7. Know Your Responsibilities
Brands have a responsibility to be environmentally conscious. Packaging should always be eco-friendly. These days nature is given the prior importance so you should always make sure that your products do not result in harming nature in any way, this will certainly result in a bad reputation.

- Basic understanding of simple packaging fundamentals is not enough to make your packaging stand out in a crowded marketplace.
- It's not just about being attractive, packaging should be functional too.
- Powerful product packaging is also works as a medium to market your business.
- We often see businesses not taking proper advantage of product packaging and end up spending money on ordinary packaging.

You've actually got a pretty good book going! You have a good variety of themes and poses. I would say maybe get a couple of clean glamour headshots to add to your book, but other than that it seems your going in a good direction!

Thank you Alyson! I have a shoot booked next week for the express purpose of getting good head shots
Now for yours:
I was prepared to offer critique but I am actually very impressed with your portfolio! Great MUA work, excellent photography, if I had one suggestion it would be to organize your photos to where some of the more interesting/conceptual ones are closer to your top row. Mix in the Bollywood one and the mask like eye makeup on the girl with the faux hawk in the upper rows with the more simple, everyday looks so that its a bit more eye catching and diverse?
Great work!

Yes, I agree with Alyson. With your beautiful face it would be nice to see some really close head shots. Other than that I think your portfolio shows you as a versatile model in a variety of shoot situations. I also like your hand gestures. Have you studied dance?

X.Org Server 1.18 was supposed to be a quick release but ended up being drawn out into a longer release cycle than normal. However, today xorg-server 1.18.0 is now available under the "Moussaka" codename.
With X.Org Server 1.18 RC2 finally shipping yesterday, it's partially due to a revised policy around commit rights to the X.Org Server.
Adam Jackson at Red Hat announced today the release of X.Org Server 1.18 RC2 as the newest version of the xorg-server leading up to the final release.
It's been a while since last having anything to report on with the Pixman pixel manipulation library, but released yesterday was a new release candidate (v0.33.4) leading up to the Pixman 0.34 debut.
If you'd like to propose a location in Europe to host the X.Org Developers' Conference (XDC) next year and are willing to organize the event, the X.Org Foundation wants to hear from you.
X.Org Server 1.17 was released back in February while finally today two X.Org DDX drivers are finally shipping xorg-server 1.17 support in released form.
At last week's XDC2015 Toronto conference there was an update shared on the X.Org Foundation, which was nice to see since there hasn't been an "annual" report published since 2013, so this would be the next best thing...
Peter Hutterer shared with the X.Org Foundation members today that a new secretary has been elected.
While many users and developers out there are looking for a time when Wayland rules the Linux desktop, Keith Packard remains focused on bettering X11/X.Org and keeping it going.
Besides the highly sought after Nouveau status update and AMDGPU/Vulkan update, Lucas Stach talked today at XDC2015 Toronto about his work on the Etnaviv reverse-engineered driver.
To complement Google's Summer of Code, the X.Org Foundation has long held the Endless Vacation of Code (EVoC) as a year-round, passive event where the foundation would fund students to get involved with X.Org/Wayland/Mesa projects. Sadly, however, it's not been panning out and the rules are being tightened up even more due to past failures.
A portion of today at XDC2015 Toronto was devoted to Linux input matters.
There's an update on the state of atomic mode-setting for Linux, for those that didn't hear it earlier today at XDC2015 in Toronto.
XDC2015 Toronto is officially getting underway this morning as the annual conference about all things Linux graphics, input, Wayland, Mesa, and DRM!
While for many Phoronix readers it's been many years since being required to fiddle around with the X.Org Server's xorg.conf in order to configure your graphics adapter / monitor to get the X Server up and running, for 64-bit ARM (AArch64) a manual configuration may still be needed.
Tom Stellard, the organizer of this year's X.Org Developers' Conference, has passed along word that the tentative schedule for next week's conference is now available.
The XDC2015 conference is coming up in two weeks in Toronto, Canada, where there will be a wide-range of Linux graphics discussions.
While back in January, Keith Packard talked about X.Org Server 1.18 being a quicker release, it's turned out to be far from it.
This summer for Google Summer of Code, Junwang Zhao ported the virtual KMS drivers (Bochs and Cirrus) over to using the atomic mode-setting interfaces.
Dave Airlie recently implemented support for the Zaphod mode within the X.Org Server's xf86-video-modesetting driver.
Emacs is known to be a fully-customizable text-editor that can yield crazy abilities from playing games to emulating vi/vim to being an "OS inside an OS" with Emacs Lisp. The latest feature for Emacs is serving as an X Window Manager.
The in-development X.Org Server 1.18 once again breaks the video driver ABI. Rebuilding the driver for compatibility isn't much of an issue for the open-source DDX drivers or the frequently-updated NVIDIA proprietary driver, but it could spell out months of waiting for those depending on the AMD Catalyst driver and wanting to use xorg-server 1.18.
You'll need to pull down the latest X.Org DDX drivers when it comes time to running X.Org Server Git or what will become X.Org Server 1.18.
More features have landed within the mainline X.Org Server code-base in Git, but unfortunately it seems the 1.18 release is misaligned and isn't going on as originally discussed.
David Airlie has been adding output master support to the xf86-video-modesetting generic DDX as well as reverse PRIME support and other changes to benefit USB display adapters.
X.Org Server 1.17.2 was released today by Red Hat's Adam Jackson.
While there's long been an X.Org Wiki page with some pipe dreams for X12 as the successor to the X11 protocol, don't bet on it ever happening.
David Airlie is looking at adding a few more PRIME (the open-source alternative to NVIDIA Optimus) features for X.Org Server 1.18.
Tom Stellard, the AMD employee organizing the X.Org Developers' Conference 2015, has announced new details regarding the event.
The RandR components are updated for version 1.5.0 to take advantage of new functionality in the X.Org Server.

RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
Let's remember now Jerry Leiber, who left behind - when he died yesterday - a legacy of pop music that may never be rivaled.
He wrote the lyrics for thousands of songs with Mike Stoller, who was the music. The legendary duo brought us songs including "Hound Dog," "Charlie Brown," "Love Potion No. 9." In a collaboration so rock-solid, NPR's Zoe Chace finds that to look back on the life of Jerry Leiber is to look back on both their lives.
ZOE CHACE: I'm just going to let Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller explain why the records they wrote formed a blueprint for hit records forever.
Mr. MIKE STOLLER (Songwriter): Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
(Soundbite of song "Stand By Me")
Mr. BEN E. KING (Singer): (Singing) When the night has come and the land is dark, and the moon is the only light we'll see.
Mr. STOLLER: This Brazilian rhythm supports a slow ballad without the ballad seeming to be slow or sluggish. It keeps it moving, and is responsible for maybe over a thousand hits.
(Soundbite of song "Stand By Me")
Mr. KING: (Singing): So darling, darling, stand by me, oh, stand by me.
CHACE: Jerry Leiber met Mike Stoller back in 1950. Both were 17, both trying to break into the music business in Los Angeles.�As Leiber and Stoller said on MORNING EDITION in 1991, Leiber had the lyrics. He needed a piano man to work with.�He cold-called Stoller.
Mr. STOLLER: Jerry Leiber called me up and said, hey, let's get together and write songs.�
Mr. JERRY LEIBER (Songwriter): And he said, no.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. STOLLER: That's true. But he said, well, why not meet and talk about it, anyhow?
Mr. LEIBER: And he said no.�
Mr. STOLLER: But he came over anyhow. And...
Mr. LEIBER: We started writing songs.�
Mr. STOLLER: Right.�
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of song, "Hound Dog")
BIG MAMA THORNTON (Singer): You ain't nothing but a hound dog, been snooping round the door.
CHACE: Two white Jewish guys: Stoller from Long Island, Leiber from Baltimore. They both loved black music, and at first wanted to write only for black artists. Leiber was famous for saying he felt like a black kid growing up in his working-class Baltimore neighborhood, as he told WHYY's FRESH AIR.
Mr. LEIBER: Teenagers especially are very, very conscious about what is hip and what is lame and what is square and what is out and what is in, you know. And, I mean, I grew up right there in the middle of a black culture. And I knew dead-on what it was.
CHACE: Leiber and Stoller wrote "Hound Dog" in 1952 for the blues singer Big Mama Thorton. But you probably know this version.
(Soundbite of song, "Hound Dog")
Mr. ELVIS PRESLEY (Singer, Performer): (Singing) Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine.
CHACE: In 1956, it launched the career of Elvis Presley, a white singer famous for loving the blues. Black music began to cross over to white radio, arguably, because of these two. Elvis eventually hired them.
For 20 years, the '50s and '60s, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller owned the radio. Stoller would sit at the piano while Leiber stalked around the room smoking and yelling out lyrics. They could�write hit songs in a quarter of an hour.
The Coasters, the Drifters, the Dixie Cups, even Peggy Lee, Leiber and Stoller wrote their hits. They never ran out of hit records.
Mr. LEIBER: Long, long years of stepping on each other's toes and words and sentences.
(Soundbite of laughter)
Mr. STOLLER: I guess that's the bottom line.
Mr. LEIBER: Is that it?
CHACE: Jerry Leiber is survived by his song-writing partner Mike Stoller. He died yesterday in Los Angeles. He was 78 years old.
Zoe Chace, NPR News.
(Soundbite of song, "Is That All There Is?")
Ms. PEGGY LEE (Singer): (Singing) Is that all there is? Is that all there is? If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing.

Instead of telling you all who I am, I would rather tell you what kinda guy I would like to be for a girl.
I want to be a guy your father respects and loves as a son, who knows I would do anything to protect and respect his little girl.
A guy whom your mother would be proud to have over for the holiday's and welcomed with open arms no matter what.
As a person I just want to continue to live up to the standards I saw in my father who passed away when I was just 20 yrs old.
I want to be the man who is the perfect partner.. Yes I know being perfect is impossible, but what I truly mean as a perfect partner is to have my crazy match your crazy.
As a person there is so much about me that I could literally write for days straight only to cover a small portion of who I am, my life experiences, among anything else we can think of.
This is why I gave a small summary of who I would like to be for you as a person, man, mate, and friend. Getting to know me will be a lot of fun for whomever decides I could be the right kinda fit. Definitely full of hopes for finding someone really awesome :).
I love to cook, A LOT
I am a HUGE fan of sci-fi and fantasy genres. Especially when it comes to Star-Trek, ( In order I would say Voyager, DS9, TNG, TOS, then Enterprise would my most liked to least in the different series)
Swords and sorcery fantasy is one of my favorite things in the world too. I write fantasy, and as we speak am creating a entire world from start to finish and plan on writing as many books as possible in hopes of being published. ( my main character is Female too which is rare in any type of genre) This puts a lot of people off knowing I am into fantasy but IDC, it is who I am and what I like. Hopefully you will share some of the similar interests as me. That way I have someone awesome to let read my material first!
If my writing will lead somewhere one day?
Will a potential mate accept push me to my limits and beyond, and support me unconditionally?
How I can change the world for the better?
How can I make the world better each and every day no matter how small the change.
I don't have time for games so if all you want is sex just be up front about it plz.
You are kind
You are kind and gentle
You are AFFECTIONATE
You have amazing lips, and a nice butt with gorgeous eyes.
Okay this puts some women off, but age really DOES NOT MATTER to me. If you are 18 or in your 50's you can be amazing, mature, beautiful, incredible, and perfect for me. AGE MEANS NOTHING SO DO NOT BE SHY NO MATTER HOW YOUNG OR OLD.
You share similar interests which would be cooking, fitness, writing, sci-fi, I.D. channel, Fantasy genre, but most important if you want to show me things about your life and include me by letting me experience new things with you.
P.S. TY all so much for taking the time to read my profile, and I wish us all the best of luck in finding the one person who will really be everything we want and more! You are ALL beautiful and amazing in your own ways, and I look forward to getting to know all about you ladies!

A long and healthy life is the desire of almost everyone. But how to stay healthy and make that century? Staying healthy means different things to different people, but there are some simple habits that can help you lead a more balanced, energized life every single day, no matter what your goals are, leading to a longer life.
Here are a few tips shared by people who have made their century.
Always stay hydrated
Water is very much your BFF (Best Friend Forever). Staying hydrated keeps your body healthy down to the cellular level and it also help keep you away from overeating. You may otherwise mistake thirst for hunger, which can lead to taking in more calories than your body needs from food. Drink a big glass of water, first thing in the morning. Never leave home without your water bottle as dehydration can lead to feelings of hunger, headaches, and lack of energy, so having the bottle helps you stay hydrated.
Enjoy your meals and try to eat without any distractions
Mindful eating is one of those things that is easier said than done, but really worth working on. Try to take at least 10 to 15 minutes to enjoy your meal, distraction-free, i.e., no phone, no TV, no computer, just you and your food. This enables you to really taste and appreciate your food, and you are able to pay attention to your satiety cues. When you are distracted, you are more likely to overeat because your mind is somewhere else other than your plate. Make eating a sacred ritual,and even though you are busy, take pauses in your day to savour your food.
Enjoy some fresh air when you can
Getting fresh air is very important for mental health. Stop and smell the roses, or at least walk by some. Even if it is just getting out of the office for 10 minutes at lunchtime to take a walk around the block, that small bit break can leave you feeling reenergized and put you back in a positive mood.
Find little ways to stay active throughout the day
Even if you have a busy day ahead of you, try to get in some type of workout five times a week.Not only do you get the benefits of exercise, you also use this time as 'me' time, which helps you unwind. And if you don't have time to log a full workout, try breaking it up. A zest for life and an interest in pastimes ranging from amateur dramatics to playing the piano is needed. Try pursuing your hobbies and continue to carry out daily duties from gardening to caring for a disabled child.
Eat your vegetables
Try to include at least three to five vegetables and three fruits in your daily diet. Try to vary them in both colour and fibre content.Vegetables are also lower in calories than other foods, and have vitamins and minerals to offer. Consume nutrient-dense, low-calorie veggies, as a must.
Catch enough of your sleep
Sleep is another best friend of yours. Try to get a minimum seven hours of sleep every night. Sometimes this even means leaving an event early or shutting down my computer by 9 P.M. Getting plenty of sleep not only makes you feel energized and ready to tackle the day, but it leads to better decision making. Not sleeping enough can mess with your willpower the next day and throw off your hormones, which can affect your weight as well.
Try to stay surrounded by your family
Family ties play an important role. Make strong family and friend bonds while young. These will help youpass through your older days smoothly. Elderly people need to be surrounded by family or have loved ones calling in on them daily.
Remind yourself of the things you are grateful for
Even if you are not into meditation (which many healthy people swear by), simply taking a moment to reflect on what you are thankful for can help you feel grounded. Every morning, the first thing to do before even getting out of bed is to think of three things you are grateful for.

BREAKING: Ben Carson's Top Aides Just Made a Huge Announcement
Dr. Ben Carson, who has been falling in the polls though still polling in the top 5 of all candidates, recently announced that he would be making some major changes in his campaign.
Some of his top-level staff members, however, were obviously not waiting around to see what changes Carson was going to make and made an announcement on New Year's Eve that will force Carson to begin 2016, and the push to gear up for the Iowa caucus, seriously shorthanded.
Doug Watts, Carson's communications director, and Barry Bennett, his campaign manager, have both resigned from the Carson campaign.
Although Carson's fundraising numbers remained high, he has seen himself falling in the polls. Carson's fourth quarter donations totaled $23 million, more than any other GOP candidate. But, that was not enough to salvage his staff.
In a statement to FOX News, Watts said, "Barry Bennett and I have resigned from the Carson campaign effective immediately. We respect the candidate and we have enjoyed helping him go from far back in the field to top-tier status."
Carson's has not maintained his top-tier status, however, The most recent Real Clear Politics poll places Carson in fourth place behind Donald Trump and Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. FOX News also notes that in their latest poll, Carson has fallen from a high of 23-percent to a new low of nine percent.
There has been no mention of these resignations on Dr. Carson's social media, though his campaign is expected to address these resignations later today.

Gaius is a very tall swordsman Colossi whom was supposed to fight Sokka. He was made by Yveltal to guard the hidden lands, much like all the other colossi. He used to just be a normal golem, much like Illuminus or Barba. But he lost his arm during his battle against intruder, Quadratus. Afterward, JD replaced the lost arm, using a large stone pillar which Gaius uses much like a huge sword.
Gaius appeared for the first time when he was sleeping beneath the morning sky, as Sokka came into his territory. He didn't react until the intruder walked on his feet and Gaius woke up, directly they fought against one another. Beforehand, he aimed his sword to his opponent, as a traditional start to a sword fight. The fight for a start, Gaius got the advantage and was beating up Sokka, even smashing his sword. But at one point he accidentally slammed his sword into his sleeping plate, causing barbs of debris to jab into his stomach. The giant tried one more attempt but ended up by getting killed when Sokka threw his meteor sword into Gaius's head.

Before reading this, please read High School Memories: Part One and Two.
Thanks to those of you who rate and comment! Most appreciative!
It's been a rough year, but without further ado...
Standing here in the midst of getting "caught" by Justin, my new conquest, I was beginning to feel a lot of different emotions.
One being anxious about my 'follow up appointment' with John, and two, nervous about where this leaves Justin and I.
Ughhhhhhhhhh! Please let this blow over...I have to be more careful!!! I thought to myself.
Back to where we left off......
There I was speechless, horny and weak as hell, as the two guys I was falling for were trading looks at each other. You could've knocked me over with a feather! That's the feeling I had.
"Why are you looking at me like that Jus?" John said with a smirk on his face.
"Whatever man, just let me know when you are free." Justin said sharply and began walking away.
I looked around to see Tiffany standing in ears and eyes reach of this sticky situation.
Thank God! I thought as I walked up to her.
She gave me the once-over and said "You sure were in there a long time!"
My first thought was ''what?!'' Then it hit me like a ton of bricks!!! SHE SAW ME GO IN THE WEIGHT ROOM!!!!
"Niles, what is going on?!" she asked.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about."
"What do you mean you don't know?! A blind person could see what's going on here! You need to come clean! TALK TO MEEE!!!" She pleaded.
Ughhhhhhh!!! Just a little dickplay! I said smirking.
Oh my God! Dickplay?! How long has this been going on!? She asked eagerly.
Other than a kiss, this was all that ever happened. I don't know what's wrong with me! I'm falling for the both of them! I explained.
Well from the looks of it, it's about to get messy...Niles, they're friends, be careful. She said as we walked in our 2nd period class.
As I walked into Biology II being taught by Mr. Williams, I avoided ALL eyes and focused on my seat. Once I got there, I looked around to see Justin staring at me. Once he realized he was staring he looked away. Mr. Williams rambled on about something, as Tiffany started grilling me.
"What happened in there?!" Tiffany asked.
"Uhhh...just a little game of lollipop." I responded.
We both laughed...quietly to ourselves, but loudly to others!
"Niles and Tiffany, see me after class" Mr. Williams said.
"Awe shit" We mumbled under our breath.
At the same moment John and Justin were giving me a knowing look, as they could probably guess what we were laughing about.
After class Mr. Williams dismissed everyone except me.
"What about her" I said pointing at Tiffany.
"She was just laughing at your joke. How about you tell me so I can laugh too."
Tiffany closes the door behind her, and we were left alone. Mr. Williams took notice and made a few steps to lock the classroom door.
Mr Williams was a smooth light skin brotha, with hazel eyes and full juicy pink lips. He was fresh out of college at 24 years young, and was the shit, in my opinion. We had built up quite a rapport in past years. Thanks to him, I've learned how to "suck a mean dick", in the words of John.
As he walked towards me, he started to ask about my earlier joke with Tiffany. I shut him up by sucking on his earlobe and neck. This was his free period, so I went to work. I sat him on the edge of his large mahogany desk and knelt down in front of him. I couldn't help but notice his already swollen piece through his ill fitting khakis! (his clothes were always too big) I unzipped and pulled out one of the most perfect penises in the world! Sitting at full attention, his 8.5in smooth meaty dick was ready to enter my blowhole. (It was like it had never been touched! It was the prettiest dick I've seen to this day!) As usual I began to tease his golden dick. Starting with the base and kissing/licking to the tip. Then circling the head with my tongue before devouring his member with my wet mouth.
Ahhhhhh shit....yes, fuck yea...were the sounds coming from my naughty teacher.
The harder i sucked, the more he grabbed my head and started face fucking me. This was a normal thing for us. In the science lab with my fine ass teacher. Life was golden, at this moment.
"Damn, you're better than my wife."
I let his dick plop out my mouth, and got up off my knees. I stepped back, and this caused Mr. Williams to come down from his high.
Woa, why'd you stop?! He asked. Was it the comment about the Mrs.?!
I said yes. You always say that my blow game is better than your wife. I don't know how I should feel....
I'm sorry. Maybe I shouldn't say that. He said.
Oh, its fine...That kind of talk really turns me on. I said smirking.
I pulled him up from his desk, and I took his previous position. However, I laid down and rested my head at the edge of his desk. Mr. Williams knew exactly what this meant.
You little slut, he said.
Mmm hmm...fuck my face Mr. Williams.
He responded by burying his piece of man meat in my open hole. I tightened my lips and started sucking him like a hoover. Man this man drives me wild. Maybe I can get him to teach me how to take a dick? I thought. Ahhh, maybe John will put on his teachers hat tonight. The thought of this took me to a place of euphoria.
Mr. Williams pushed forward...his dickhead popped into my throat. As he held it there, I performed a little "head" massage by swallowing repeatedly. This sent Mr. Williams over the wall! He began grunting and shaking and I knew he wouldn't be able to hold out too much longer. I swallowed and moaned on his dick, which sent vibrations through his piece.
Fuuuuck, I'm cumming babe. He said.
The word babe threw me off, and I began to choke on his amazing cum load. He had never called me that before! I sat up, grabbed tissues from his desk and started to clean my face. I went to a sink in the back of the room and washed my face. All the while thinking what was that about?
As I walked back to the front of the class to grab my belongings, Mr. Williams came up and planted a kiss on me, while grabbing on my ass and pulling me in closer to him.
I pulled away and looked into his eyes. "What was that about?" I said.
You are fucking awesome babe.....
OMG, there it is again!
I can't help but to imagine what your ass feels like. Maybe one day I'll get to find out??? He asked.
I was in shock. This is the man that was too straight to go all the way , but now he's kissing me, and calling me babe! This tells me something different. I was speechless.
The bell rang, and I came out of my trance. I grabbed my stuff and jetted out the classroom.
All I could think about was "3 guys". I now have to worry about 3 guys! Great!, just fucking great!! I said.
As I approached my locker, Tiffany was standing there waiting on me.
Umm, where were you last period? Both of your boys were in there, so I know you weren't with them.
I just needed to clear my head. I said.
Well it doesn't look clear Niles. I told Mrs. Sobel that you were sick so she marked you excused.
Thanks Tiff. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to be exposed to the school, I don't want to expose them, but I want them both soooo bad!
Tiffany looked at me and said, I've never seen you like this before. Dare I say that you are in LOVE with two guys?
Love is a powerful word, but I def am in strong like. I said. Oh there's Justin. I'll catch up with you later Tiff.
'Wait up!" I yelled to Justin as I rushed towards him.
Justin turned around and kept walking.
Really? I said. You didn't hear me back there?
Oh, were you talking to me? Didn't know if John was around. He said.
Well, would you look at this...he's jealous! I thought to myself smirking.
I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but I wanted to ask if you have plans tomorrow night after the dance.
Umm, I don't know. Depends on if any honeys are there for me to mack on. He said.
Rolling my eyes, I said. Well, my parents are out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you would like to come over afterwards. I can order some pizza and we could play some video games.
I'll let you know. He said dryly. With that we walked into our next class.
I sat in my 4th period class contemplating on my sexual desires. What should I do? John plays with my head way too much, but I really like him. Justin is so sexy though. Well, so is John. But Justin feels like high-school hubby material. And is Mr. Williams falling for me? I am not trying to compete with his wife, but damn he is fine! 1st period-gave John a bj in the weight room. 3rd period gave Mr. Williams a bj in the science lab. NOW i'm sitting here and Justin is staring me down (but not in a good way). What to do, what to do?
Ring, ring, ring! Finally, it was lunch time! I had to get out of here for a bit and clear my head! I walked...practically ran to my car. I clicked unlock, hopped into my car and sped off. Letting my sunroof back, I enjoyed the sounds of Usher coming from my CD player. I stopped at the local gas station that had a Subway inside of it. I ordered a turkey sub and sat down by a window near the back to eat. As I ate my sub and looked out the window, I saw the town slut making out with some guy in the back of the parking lot. There's Sheena, doing her daily chores, I thought. Laughing to myself. My laughter was cut short because I could tell the guy looked familiar, but I couldn't make out the face because of her dark tinted windows. As i watched this display, she disappeared into the guys lap. She was obviously doing a poor job bc the guy bucked forward and pushed her off of him. Then, it happened. I saw his face. It was John. I was disgusted. Sheena was the biggest slut to ever exist! She had slept with several football players over the years, and if rumors were true she let the entire basketball team run a train on her. (For those unfamiliar, a train is like an orgy, but there's only one person being used). I couldn't believe my eyes, and to top things off, I think John saw me looking! I gathered up my things in a hurry, to get out of there! As I was getting in my car, John came running towards me.
Niles, wait up!
Ugh, WHAT John!
Woa, what's wrong with you?! He said.
Nothing. What do you want? I said.
Well, what's up? John said rather suggestively and with a smirk. We don't have to be back for another 30 minutes.
(Calm Niles, don't let him see you sweat- is what I was thinking)
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME! (yea, so much for being calm) What, was that slut Sheena not doing it for ya? She should be an expert with all the practice she's getting around here. I cant believe you right now! Go away, just go away John!
Wait, wait, I don't have a way back to school! I rode with that bitch out here, she got mad when I pushed her off of me and told me to get out! Can I PLEASE ride back with you.
Fine, but don't open your mouth to me! I don't want to talk to you!
We drove back to school in utter silence, that is until I felt him staring at me.
WHAT?! Get out of my face!
You are really mad, aren't you?
Fuck yea! I can't believe you would lay with her! She's the biggest whore ever!
Umm this coming from the guy who seduced me this morning and gave me the best head of my life?!
I pulled over to the side of the road. I KNOW you are not calling calling me a ho?! I don't get trains ran on me! I don't lay up with just ANYBODY! I AM NOT A HO!
Maybe not, but you are freaky as shit! Sheena was gagging and chomping on my dick like a mad woman...and not in a good wayI she was gnawing at it like gristle on a chicken bone! I thought she would've been better and freed me of whatever this thing is that has me so into you.
I don't know whether to slap you, kick you out on side of the road, or kiss you! Why must you play games with me John? I'm really starting to feel you, so if I'm just a good dick sucker to you, I rather cut my losses now.
Are you listening to me? I just said I was into you!
Well, being in the car with that ho, sure fooled me!
How about this? John said as he leaned over and kissed me.
I tried to fight it, but he kept pulling me in. Closer and closer. My hands started to explore his body. First, i caressed his head, and worked my way down to his adult male pecs. (no high school kid was built like John. Hell, he was more built than Mr. Williams!) His abs were so defined, I felt like I could climb them. Shit, this boy has body! At last, my hand found his prime member. It was already rock hard and full mast. I swear it got harder and bigger the more I jacked it.
Mmmm babe. Let's skip school and go to my house. I need to teach that ass of yours a lesson for yelling at me! John said kneading my ass.
Ha! Conceited much? What makes you think, you are getting some ass?!
This...he said as he popped a finger in my asshole.
"Ooooaaahhh!!! I want you so bad!" I can't believe I just said that aloud!
He started grinning. "So, what was your question? What makes me think what?"
Kiss my ass! I said laughing. With that I got out of my car and went around to the passenger side.
What are you doing?! We are in the middle of everything! Not here! Let's go to my house!
Relax John! I'm letting you drive. Take me wherever you think is best. I'm all yours. I said.
He got out of the car smirking and smacked me on the ass. Damn, I can't wait to get in that ass!
To be continued....
Please rate and comment. I appreciate all comments.

Once a student settles in a permanent laboratory, he/she must choose a supervisory committee. This committee:
- Montiors a student's progress regularly during his/her graduate career.
- Counsels, advises and assists the student.
- Acts to maintain equal standards of student supervision
- If a student is not making adequate progress, it is the responsibiity of the superivsor and the superivsory committee to identify such a situation, document it on the Supervisory Committee Report form and, in consulatation with the student, devise approaches to remedy the problem.
Supervisory Committee Composition
The committee is composed of the student's supervisor and a minimum of two other faculty members. The Department encourages the student and supervisor to choose a supervisory committee that is limited to a total of three faculty members (including the supervisor) because of potential scheduling difficulties that can arise with additional committee members. However, if the student and supervisor feel that the benefits of increased expertise on the committee outweigh any potential scheduling difficulties, additional members should be invited to join the committee.
Of these two committee members:
- at least one of these must be a Molecular Genetics Faculty member
- at least one of these must be a Molecular Genetics Faculty member from a different node than the student's lab
- at leaset one of these must be a Molecular Genetics Faculty member who has an arm's length relationship with the superivsor and the student (i.e. not a collaborator's spouse, etc.)
- at least one of these must have expertise differnet from that of the supervisor.
- The choice of additional committee members is not restricted with respect to their node, departmental affiliation, or arm's length relationship with the student/supervisor.
- The supervisory committee, chosen jointly by the student and the supervisor, MUST be approved by the Graduate Coordinator BEFORE the first committee meeting is arranged.
- A faculty member from the Department, other than the supervisor, should act as the permanent chair of the committee.
- The composition or the chair of the committee may be changed provided all parties involved agree. Changes must be approved by the Graduate Coordinator.
- If a student is having difficulties, a member of the Steering Committee may be assigned to attend one or more committee meetings.
Please see the Graduate Handbook for details on the procedures, timing and scheduling of Superivisory Committee Meetings.

Most Helpful Girl

Well, I do kind of need it to live - So.., mostly like any other person. I guess o, o
Have an opinion?
I value money as I need it. Nothing extreme. I do not think happiness depends on money.
Yes I do value it
Money it just a tool for me to live. Nothing more.
young ladies, pay attention to this girl. her way way of thinking is what's gonna be what helps r have a truly fulfilling life. she has clarity. they say say girls like powerful men... it's a flaw! if offers security... but not for you. a man with power can afford to treat you anyway he wishes. so, while you're getting abused, guys like me gets front row sets... where we can do nothing but watch.
Yes and no. On the one hand, I'm absolutely no materialist. I don't believe money can make you happy. And I also don't fall into the trap of thinking that money makes people prettier/cooler etc.. This is why for example I absolutely don't care about clothes and fashion. I think I would wear cheap no-brand clothes even if I won the lottery. I just don't see the point of wearing Armani jeans or a Versace shirt. I don't see how that makes you cooler or whatever. To be, people who care a lot about fashion tend to be rather superficial.
However, on the other hand, I do value money. First of all, because I am what French people would call a "bon vivant". I like to eat good food and I do quite enjoy to live the high life if I get the chance. Not because I want to show off but because I simply enjoy a bit of luxury and comfort. I also love travelling the world and that is also something that affords money, even if you travel simply. Secondly, I think a lot about my future. I want to make sure that I will be financially okay once I get retired and even more importantly, I want to make absolutely certain that I can afford to offer my future children a decent lifestyle. I'm not saying they should be rich kiddies but they should not have to worry too much about material stuff... like for example I want to b able to always buy them a birthday gift. This means that I have to get a well-paying job where I can make some money.
I value money because everyone else does.
That is the nature of a fiat currency.
A rare example of something that comes to exist the more people believe it exists.
If no one believed that money had value, it would become nothing more than paper and shrapnel.
Money is the single most important thing on this planet, So yeah, I do.
Not really. People think I'm weird bc of that. As long as I can eat, I don't care
A lot of big steps in life You want to take will include spending money, like getting a driving license a degree or a house
Even when having kids You will need money, if it wasn't for money You and i wouldn't be here, Thats the deep truth

On Thursday, Google released "Google Accessible Search" which was designed to list what is considered accessible listings first when searching. The accessible sites have been designed and adhere to the Web Content Accessibility guidelines. Following these guidelines, it makes is easier for software to translate text to speech for those who are visually impaired.
Sites that are considered for an accessible search have few visual images, or will still read well without images, and are simply designed. They examine the HTML markup to determine which websites to consider. Google Accessible Search is built on the same technology underlying Google Co-op, which prioritizes search results based on specialized interests.
T.V. Ramen who designed this project is blind and designed this simply because he wants to be able to find relevant information quickly. Pages that are full of images make it more difficult to do this. In his article on the official Google Blog, he notes that this is an early stage experiment and they hope to improve the product with feedback over the next few months.

Báo QĐND English
- 71 month(s) ago

There is growing concern about foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction following a sharp decline in January. However, February figures suggest Vietnam is likely to fulfil this year's target.
The country aims to attract approximately US$15 billion and disburse US$11 billion in FDI this year.
Disbursed capital on the rise
Do Nhat Hoang, head of the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA), attributes the January decline to the long Lunar New Year holiday that directly slowed down the licensing of new projects.
The statement is not groundless, as a large number of projects were licensed in February. To name some, the northern port city of Haiphong, about 100km from the capital Hanoi, delivered an investment certificate to a project by Japan's Bridgestone Company to manufacture vehicle tyres with total capital of US$575 million.
Nghe An province, in central Vietnam, approved a US$30 million project by the Republic of Korea's BSE Group, to manufacture 250 million electronic products a year.
Binh Duong province, a gateway to HCM City, licensed five projects worth more than US$150 million. Foreign businesses also signed agreements to pour additional hundreds of millions of US dollars into other projects.
FIA reports that by February 20 Vietnam had attracted 65 new projects with total registered capital of US$910.9 million, and 25 operating projects with additional capital of US$320 million.
The agency says several prospective projects are expected to be signed in the coming months. They include a US$200 million Japanese-invested project to manufacture medical equipment at the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park in Haiphong city, another Japanese-invested project to invest in industrial parks in Vietnam capitalised at US$200 million, and an AEON shopping mall project in Binh Duong worth US$95 million.
Dr Nguyen Minh Phong from the Hanoi Socio-Economic Development Research Institute says the decline in attracted FDI and disbursed capital in the past two months is not a worrying sign.
The most important thing is that we have seen positive signs in FDI attraction in recent times, says Phong.
According to the specialist, the FDI structure has changed, with investors showing more interest in industrial and agricultural production projects, and less interest in property projects. In addition, many project investors have come from developed countries.
FDI quality – a key factor
Nguyen The Phuong, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment, says in the coming time his ministry will improve the quality and efficiency of FDI and increase FDI management capacity.
Priority will no longer be given to capital value, but to the quality of FDI disbursement, says Phuong, adding that FDI attraction must go along with socio-economic development plan for the 2011-2015 period.
He stresses that FDI businesses will be encouraged to invest in areas using modern, environmentally friendly technologies, using natural resources effectively, and facilitating links with domestic businesses. In addition, FDI attraction will be focused on the support industries and competitive services with high intellectual content.
Nguyen Noi, FIA Vice Director, states that FDI continues to be an important source of capital for development investment in Vietnam, as the country has been implementing a tight monetary policy and restructuring public investments, resulting in limited access to capital sources.
This is why the government is making every effort to improve the quality and efficiency of FDI, says Noi.
However, FIA points out the challenges Vietnam is facing in attracting FDI. Accordingly, infrastructure development has not kept pace with national economic development requirements, making it hard to attract more investors and ensure FDI businesses operate efficiently.
In addition, Vietnam is short of skilled human resources (HR). A recent survey shows that up to 32 percent of foreign investors consider a shortage of skilled HR as the most important factor hindering their businesses from operating at full steam.
Another challenge is cumbersome administrative procedures. Despite significant improvements in recent times, foreign investors still complain about the time spent and a large number of administrative procedures they have to go through in order to get licences.
Dr Luong Van Khoi from the National Centre for Socio-Economic Information and Forecast says the global economic downturn is casting a shadow over the recovery of economies in 2012, which will certainly affect Vietnam's economic growth, mostly through investment and trade channels.
Despite gloomy projections, global FDI is predicted to ride out the financial storm, preserving the resource for capital flow into Vietnam.
Experts say to attract more foreign investors Vietnam needs to further improve its investment environment, stabilise its macroeconomy and improve the quality of its HR.

Marina Visconti & Viola aka Annabelle - Breasts before Books
Released: February 5, 2014
Marina Visconti and Viola aka Annabelle start off with good literary intentions, thinking they're going to read a book...but when gals are dressed as scanty as they are today, other things come to mind!! Soon they're investigating the tingling treasures held in their lacy boulder-holders and shorts. Marina (a redhead this time, she likes to change her hair color a lot!) lays back and Viola roams in the valley of those voluptuous 34D Russian knockers...but soon enough Marina is returning the favor by sucking hard on Viola's own Latvian 34Ds. Yes, gentlemen, there's a lot of fine nipple-nuzzling and cunny-slurping as the ladies pull aside their u...
