The present Government of the republic has started to work in 1998. The mobilization plan problems had been set as the main task: setback in production cessation, adaptation of enterprises and population to market conditions. The mobilization stage has been passed in 1999 when production has started to grow. By estimations of experts, Karelia was one of the first regions in Russia to overcome the crisis among. Actions have been taken on maximal loading of production capacity, change of inefficient proprietors and management.
High rates of growth of economy in 1999-2000 were promoted by low rouble exchange rate and high inflation. Many export-focused enterprises have updated a part of the fixed capital for this time. Volumes of investments of enterprises have grown mainly due to internal sources. However, to the beginning of 2002 it became obvious, that post-default factors cease to work.
It has demanded transition to more intensive methods of economic policy, especially in the investment sphere which allowed to solve the ripened social problems and to set new problems.
In 2002 the Concept of social and economic development of the republic for the period till 2010 has been revised and inserted. The Basic directions of activity of the Government of the RK on social and economic development of the Republic of Karelia for 2002-2006 and actions for their realization have been developed, republican target programs of economic and social orientation have been accepted. Development of these documents was conducted on the basis of mandates, the All-Russian programs and messages of the President of the Russian Federation.
The overall objective for the forthcoming four years was creation of conditions for steady economic growth, modernization of economy and consecutive increase of the standard of living of the population on the basis of support of self-realization of citizens of the republic, use of potential of local self-government, decrease in social inequality and preservation of cultural values.
Conditions for development of the real sector of economy and increase of its efficiency were created by formation of the legal base for development of business, formation of the competitive environment, carrying out of the "open doors" policy for attraction of investments from outside of the republic, support of effective proprietors.
The Government took all-round measures on development of small and medium business and innovative activity. Special attention was paid to points of economic growth.
Increase of well-being of citizens of republic was the primary goal in the social sphere. For this purpose it was necessary to create conditions and effective stimulus for employment, including self-employment of the population, to promote development of housing construction, to achieve growth of real incomes of citizens no less, than 1.5 times, to increase financing of the social sphere, to keep unemployment at the level of 3%, to execute mandates, which meant to build schools, medical establishments, apartment houses for veterans, municipal objects.
Great financial assets are required to solve such scale purposes and problems. Only growing and effective economy was capable to fill and increase the budget of the republic. Therefore, the Government of the republic has emphasized economic development. To perform the plans it was necessary to achieve no less than 6-7% annual economic growth.
In 2002 the Government of Karelia has declared attraction of investments and increase of investment appeal of the republic as the basic economic priority. On the basis of the "open doors" principle the Investment Strategy for 2003-2006 Program has been developed and approved. The basic target reference point was doubling of volumes of investments. The social importance of investments is defined also by the fact that they create workplaces. Within the framework of the Program the republican investment legislation has been seriously advanced, new mechanisms of attraction of investments, their support and solution of problems of investors have been created.
One of such mechanisms is preferential budgetary crediting of investment projects due to means of bonded loans of the republic launched in 2002. For 4 years 26 enterprises received more than 409 million roubles of budgetary credits on a competitive basis for implementation of their projects. The total cost of these projects is over 900 million roubles, that is each extra budgetary rouble in addition involves one and a half rouble of unappropriated means. Twenty projects are already implemented. More than 120 million roubles of proceeds of the credit have been returned to the budget. As a result of implementation of all of 26 projects more than 800 workplaces will be created.
Along with preferential crediting tax privileges are given to investors. In total for 2002-2005 15 investment agreements on granting of tax privileges have been concluded. Realization of 9 agreements with the general planned volume of investments of 5,9 billion roubles and budgetary efficiency of more than 4 billion roubles proceeds now. Under these projects there will be created 2,3 thousand of new workplaces.
Within the framework of the Program great attention has been paid to support and implementation of large and especially significant investment projects. In 2002 and the beginning of 2003 negotiations with such large strategic foreign investors as Stora-Enso and PKS-Group Finnish concerns, Swedish concern IKEA have been carried on, arrangements on construction of new factories have been reached.
As a result of teamwork the Impilahti timber mill was launched in September, 2003 (Pitkäranta district).
In 2004 and 2005 the PKS-Group Concern has constructed and set in operation the second and third stages of the factory manufacturing electric wiring for cars and assembly of electronic devices in the city of Kostomuksha. In 2006 the number of workers will reach one and a half thousand persons.
It is expected, that within the first six months of this year the first stage of the Swedwood-Karelia project - a factory producing furniture components in Kostomuksha will be entered, and in 2007 - 2008 a factory assemblying furniture will be set in operation.
Within the reporting period more than 40 large and medium commercial investment projects in all spheres of economy of the republic were implemented in Karelia.
For support promotion of such projects a working group under the direction of the Prime Minister of the Government of the RK Pavel Chernov has been created in 2004. For 2 years 42 projects have been considered to be implemented in the territory of the republic, assistance to investors has been rendered.
Stimulation of investment activity of enterprises was promoted by competitions organized by the Government of the RK for the right of reception of wood resources in long-term rent, as well as inventory of license agreements on use of mineral resources. Inventory was put into practice with the purpose to check performance of conditions (including investments) stated in agreements by companies.
The policy of "open doors" has led to the fact that such large Russian companies and investors as SUAL and Severstal holdings, Gazprom Open Society, Railways Russian Open Society, Northwest Bank of the Savings Bank of Russia and a number of others companies today work successfully in Karelia.
To provide economic growth and formation of favorable investment climate is not impossible without corresponding infrastructure: transport, power, engineering and other communications, customs and boundary infrastructure. Therefore, constant growth of means directed on construction of such objects, with participation of budgets of Karelia and Russia, and also means of such large companies, as Gazprom, Octyabrskaya Railway has been observed in recent years.
Electrification of Idel-Svir and Sumposad-Malenga pieces of line of the Octyabrskaya railway is completed, goods traffic has begun on Ledmozero-Kochkoma piece of line.
A gas main Petrozavodsk - Kondopoga, the terminal of Besovets airport are constructed.
Highways with outlets to the state border (Wärtsilä), to the Arkhangelsk and Vologda areas appeared.
The international check point Suoperä is constructed and will be started up this year.
Alongside with it institutional transformations are accomplished. For 4 years the share of enterprises of the private pattern of ownership has passed from prevailing (64%) into overwhelming (more than 72%), that speaks of normal market basis for the further growth of economy.
The number of small enterprises has increased by over 1 thousand in comparison with 2002.
The volume of production made by small business has increased from 7,1 billion roubles in 2002 up to 12,2 billion roubles in 2005.
In the total turn of organizations of the republic the share of the turn of small enterprises in 2005 has increased to 30%.
Karelia is a frontier and an export-oriented region. Therefore, the Government of the RK pays paramount attention to support of exporters and corresponding infrastructure. As a result, in the past years export has been growing constantly, it allows exporters not only to exist, but also to develop actively. On results of 2005 the record volume of export is expected - more than $1 billion.
Results of social and economic development of the republic for 4 years testify that measures taken by the Government of the RK in the sphere of economic policy yield positive results.
Development of the competitive environment as a result of transition to a competitive basis of allocation of wood resources for the long-term rent and a number of other measures have allowed to increase volume of investments in timber industry complex of the republic where in 2005 it has increased in comparison with 2001 no less than one and a half times.
Constant raising of the investments in timber industry complex certainly affects consecutive growth of åðó sphere of wood processing. The proportion of the processed and raw wood intended for export, moves towards the first one.
In 4 years in the timber industry complex such large investment projects, as a woodchip board manufacturing factory in the settlement of Pindushi, start up of the papermaking machine N10 and implementation of another 5 projects at Segezha Pulp and Paper Mill, start up of the papermaking machine N10 at Kondopoga Open Society, construction of saw-mills in settlements of Pyalma and Impilahti, creation of manufacture assemblying and after-sales service of modern harvesting equipment of Harvy Forester Open Company are accomplished. Today in the timber industry complex of the republic 39 more projects are under implementation, they are in sight of the Government of the RK.
The mining complex of the republic shows good results. Active involving of new deposits of a building stone and other minerals in economic activities, construction of new factories gives real increase in output. For 4 years 7 large investment projects is completed, such as technical reequipment of Shokshinsky Quarry Open Company, Interkamen Joint-Stock Company, construction of Lobskoye-5 factory, reconstruction of Sortavala grinding-sorting factory, development of Raikonkoski quarry, reconstruction of Pudozhsky Quarry Open Company and Karelkamen Open Society.
It has allowed to increase volume of rubble and gravel manufacture from 3,7 to 5,9 million cubic metres a year in 4 years.
Modernization and reconstruction of Karelsky Okatysh (Karelian Iron-Ore Pellets) Open Society in view of development of a new deposit has allowed to increase volumes of production of iron-ore pellets essentially.
Certain rise is observed in the field of engineering industry and metal working. Prospects here are connected with such enterprises, as Petrozavodskmash and Onezhsky Ship-Bilding Factory where the volumetric portfolio of orders is generated today.
Such field as trout-breeding becomes quite attractive for investments and development. Volumes of manufacture here for 4 years have grown more than twice. 21 enterprise already works in this direction.
Another perspective direction is development of tourism. The volume of investments into the sphere of tourism for 4 years has increased 3 times, volumes of travel and excursion services and of hotel services have increased considerably.
Complex measures are taken by the Government of the RK in the sphere of house-building. In the period of report putting of dwelling into operation exceeds a similar parameter 1998 - 2001 by 24%. The hypothec develops actively.
The main result of the active economic policy pursued by the Government of the RK was growth of investments. Comparing two stages: 1998-2001 and 2002-2005, it is possible to see, that the volume of investments into the economy of the republic has increased more twice. Thus, the Government has performed the task of doubling the investments.
Achieving such volumes of investments allows to approve, that the economy of the republic has switched to essentially new type of economic development, that is investment type.
First of all, it sets quite high and steady rates of economic development. Within the past 2 years growth of industrial production has made 110.7 and 118% accordingly. Within the 4 years growth of industrial production and total regional product has made 136% and 123% accordingly, that allows to speak about performance of pre-election obligations by the Head of the Republic regarding 30% growth of economy.
However economic development is not an end in itself, but a basis for growth of incomes of budgets and opportunities of realization of essential social problems.
Increase in incomes of the budget is the evidence of economic growth. If in 2000-2003 the volume of incomes of the consolidated budget of the republic increased annually on 9-12 percent, then in last two years the increase already made 23-30 percent.
Incomes of the consolidated budget of the Republic of Karelia in 2005 in comparison with 2001 have increased from 6,2 to 13,8 billion roubles or more than twice.
Growth of incomes increases the political responsibility of the Government for target and effective utilization of budgetary funds - for timeliness and quality of budgetary services, reliability of system of social protection of the population, high rates of development of public infrastructure and positive dynamics of economic growth.
Since 2001 the volume of consolidated on-budget expenditures of the Republic of Karelia has grown from 6,3 to 13,5 billion roubles in 2005 or more than twice.
As a result of following budgetary policy the current maintenance of the spread network of establishments of public health services, education, culture and social security is provided in corpore, structural and organisational transformations accomplished, social orientation of expenditures of the budget of the Republic of Karelia increased.
The greatest share in consolidated on-budget expenditures of the republic is comprised of expenditures related to realization of social policy and maintenance of branches of welfare sphere which increase every year.
Thus, if expenditures on branches of the welfare block in 2001 made 48 percent of total amount of consolidated on-budget expenditures or 3 billion roubles, then in 2005 specified expenditures have already made 66 percent or 8,9 billion roubles. Thus, consolidated on-budget expenditures on social needs in 2005 in comparison with 2001 have increased by 5,9 billion roubles or 3 times.
For public health services from the consolidated budget of republic in the past to year it has been allocated about 2,6 billion roubles, that is 3 times more than in 2001.
Sources of financing of public health services expenditures are not only means of the budget, but also means of the fund of obligatory medical insurance and other unappropriated means. For 4 years, in comparison with 2001, expenditures of all sources have grown 2.3 times and have reached more than 3 billion roubles in 2005.
Today counting upon 1 inhabitant of the republic public health services expenditures exceed federal specification. Gradually, especially in last years, this break has increased even more.
The essential part of means goes for improvement of material and technical resources of treatment-and-prophylactic establishments.
Within 2002-2005 within the framework of the republican investment program cost of building and assembly jobs executed on objects of public health services has made 263,8 million roubles, including 29,0 million roubles from federal budget. Construction and reconstruction of the main building of the central district hospital in Olonets, city hospitals in Sortavala, Louhi, Kem, Segezha central district hospital proceed. More than 73 million roubles is allocated from the budget for major overhaul of buildings and constructions of treatment-and-prophylactic establishments. Medical ambulance stations in the village of Padany and the village of Vilga, maternity ward in central district hospital of Kalevala, local hospital in the village of Vidlitsa, ophthalmologic branch of V.Baranov republican hospital, polyclinic of the Republican dermatovenereal clinic, the central regional hospital on 100 beds with a polyclinic on 120 visitings in the settlement of Pryazha are set in operation.
Material and technical resources of public health services have improved considerably. For four years it has been purchased medical equipment and 180 units of sanitary transport at the cost of 268,2 million roubles.
Hi-tech methods in activity of establishments of public health services are introduced actively.
By virtue of low density and concentration of population the problem of availability of medical aid is of great importance for the republic. To solve the problem a multilevel system of exit activity of establishments of public health services, including use of complex specialized brigades and a mobile train ("a polyclinic on wheels") is created. Only in 2005 almost 300 trips to districts has been made, more than 27 thousand patients examined, of them 13 thousand children, 64 people have been operated and 1900 diagnostic researches executed.
Education on-budget expenditures in 2005 have made 3,9 billion roubles or 2,5 billion roubles more, than in 2001.
Today in the republic there are 819 educational establishments with a mid-annual contingent of 201,5 thousand trained and pupils. At that, since 1998 the Government of the RK annually opens new educational establishments with a view of maintenance of availability of qualitative education. However, putting into operation of new objects does not solve the problem of availability of educational services for each child completely. Therefore, decisive importance is attached to organization of transporting children to places of study as it is common in developed countries of the world. In 2004 - 2005 academic year more than 4,6 thousand children from 200 settlements were taken to places of their study. In 2004 the government bought of 25 buses for 15 million roubles for these purposes, and 21 more buses in 2005 for 10 million roubles.
With a view of the state support of development of languages and culture of Karelians, Vepsians and Finns implementation of the republican target program Ethnocultural Education in the Republic of Karelias in 2003 - 2005 proceeded. 42 establishments of the republic have the status of establishments with ethnocultural components of education, in which projects of the standard on Karelian and Vepsian languages are approved. Academic and methodological textbooks for pupils of forms from the second through seventh in Karelian and a pilot manual on history of Karelia are prepared. In preschool establishments with the ethnocultural component of education the program of teaching Karelian language is approved.
Since January 2001 a number of target programs on informatization of eucation is implemented in the republic. Due to implementation of the specified projects and programs, it became possible to provide 3 times more computers for pupils having achieved a parameter of 1 computer per 30 pupils. It is more than twice than on the average in Russia. Work on informatization of schools will be continued. In 2006 - 2007 it will be allocated about 100,0 million roubles for these purposes. It is possible to note, that in this area the republic became the winner of the competition within the framework of the e-Russia program in 2003.
Significant resources are intended for financing measures of social support of veterans, needy citizens and large families, orphan children and children left without care of parents, as well as preventive maintenance of children's homelessness and neglect.
Now more than 290 thousand inhabitants of Karelia (41.8% of the total number of inhabitants) are provided with measures of state social support stipulated by the current legislation. The Federal law N122, concerning social protection of preferential categories of citizens rendered decisive importance on drastic growth of expenditures on social support.
The volume of means from budget of the republic meant for execution of measures of social support for 4 years has 10 times increased on the average regarding each group of beneficiaries.
In 2001-2005 the number of the people provided by preferential sanatorium permits has grown essentially. The increase occured in 2005 has made more than 10 times.
The addressing principle in the sphere of social support gets the increasing value. It is traced through the volume of means of the budget of the republic allocated for implementation of the Address Social Help target program. Only for 2005 the volume of the program has made 150 million roubles and has almost 10 times increased in comparison with 2004. The principle of address support underlies maintenance of handicapped people with sanatorium treatment and cars. In 4 years with support of federal and republican budgets 617 motor vehicles have been purchased. Almost 1400 disabled veterans have underwent courses of sanatorium treatment in 2002 - 2004.
In 2003 the Republican center of rehabilitation of invalids opened in the settlement of Martsialnye Wody. Since the center stated to work 324 handicapped people passed rehabilitation there.
The Government of the RK pays great attention to aspects of family policy, including support of centers of social help to family and children.
Withinthe period from 2001 to 2005 the network of sports constructions of Karelia has received new objects corresponding to all modern requirements.
The total number od people going in for sports makes now more than 93 thousand persons or 13.2% of the population. In 2002 - 2005 on this parameter Karelia has taken the 2 place in the Northwest federal district.
In 2002 the Development of Physical Training and Sports target republican program has been developed. In 4 years the total sum of financing has reached 14 million roubles, and next years it will be exceeded considerably.
With the purpose of creation of conditions and preservations of creative potential of the branch of culture within four years for reconstruction, restoration of monuments of history and culture, strengthening of material resouses it has been allocated 555,6 million rbl., including 188,0 million roubles from the republican budget. Buildings of the National theatre of the RK have been reconstructed, thus, a modern theatrical platform, one of the best in Northwest of Russia, created.
Financing of the branch is carried out with use of program-target methods of management. Within a few years the target program Development of the Sphere of Culture in the Republic of Karelia operates in the republic. For 4 years of implmentation of the program 739 million roubles has been allocated for its financing. At that sources of financing of the program are not only means of the federal (246 million roubles) republican (278 million roubles), and local (50,8 million roubles) budgets, but also it is more than 160 million roubles of involved means.
Computerization of popular libraries is implemented widely in the republic, and results of their work impress: libraries have more than 322 thousand users which annually visit them more than 3 million times and use more than 7 million books.
Within the past four years due to international funds implementation of some the large-scale projects aimed at social and economic development of territories of municipal formations, such as Karelian Vacation, Development of Cultural Industries in Historical Villages of Kalevala District has been completed and proceeds.
Implementation of the Karelian Vacation project has allowed to create information tourist centres on the basis of municipal museums in Byelomorsk, Kem, Olonets, Sortavala to teach the employees of museums bases of tourist business, to develop new tourist routes, that also corresponds to priorities of social and economic policy of the republic.
The Government of the republic provided duly and in full indexation of wages of the budgetary sphere employees. Means for these purposes were basically found in the republic.
A share of consolidated budget expenditures of the Republic of Karelia on wages in 2001 made 33 percent, compared to 43 percent or 5,8 billion roubles in 2005. It is one of the highest parameters among subjects of the Russian Federation. It is especially important to note, that due to systematic work of the Government and financial bodies, payment of wages to workers in the budgetary sphere was stabilized in the republic.
The state support of agricultural production has increased essentially. The on-budget expenditures of the Republic of Karelia on the specified purposes in 2005 have increased 1.7 times in comparison with 2001 and have made 275 million roubles. The structure of expenditures on agriculture gradually varies with reorientation to technical renewal of agricultural productions. If in 2000 these expenditures were not financed from budget of the republic, in 2005 the share of expenditures on technical renewal of agricultural production in total amount of expenditures on agriculture has reached 16 percent.
Significant means from the consolidated budget of the republic are allocated for housing and communal services. Under conditions of reforming of housing and communal services and transition on absolute compensation of expenses of the enterprises of housing and communal services by the population from the beginning of 2005 the structure of the on-budget expenditures aimed at financing of the branch changes. The deterioration of engineering networks, as well as necessity of improvement of quality of services forces to switch from cash granting of the branch enterprises to charges on expenditures, modernization and repair of objects of municipal services. In 2005 more than 40 percent of means of the investment program of the Republic of Karelia were allocated for these purposes, while in 2006 it is supposed to allocate more than 44 percent.
Expenditures on the investment purposes increase constantly in expenditures of the budget. Since 2001 financing of the Address investment program of Karelia (without road construction) has increased from 154 million roubles to 496 million roubles in 2005 or 3.2 times. The republican target program Habitation which provides both move of citizens from shabby and drop-out housing resources, and the state support of young families, citizens living in a countryside, whose living conditions require improvement and purchase of habitation, development of hypothecary housing crediting is approved and works in the republic. If in 2002 the state support due to the budget of the Republic of Karelia within the framework of development of hypothecary housing crediting has been rendered to 21 family, then in 2005 444 families received it. Support of this kind was not rendered before 2002. The republic carries out of its obligations on allocation of financial assistance to local budgets by 100 percent monthly; in comparison with 2000 volume of this support in 2005 has increased almost 7 times, from 585 million roubles to 4 billion roubles. The basic channel of financial assistance to local budgets is the Regional fund of financial help on alignment of budgetary security of local budgets.
The Government of the RK constantly works on optimization of the number and expenditures on the maintenance of enforcement authorities. Since 2000 the number of enforcement authorities is reduced on 800 persons that has led to real saving of means of the budget of the Republic of Karelia.
Developed every fiscal year Program of state loans of the republic allows to satisfy needs of the budget for extra sources of financing completely, and its structure allows minimizing debt service expenditures. Annually more and more significant part of extra means (about 40 percent in 2005) goes for implementation of investment policy of the Government of the republic.
The essential part of the republican budget has been directed on creation of a socially significant infrastructure influencing the prospect of economical development as a whole, and also on attraction of federal target means on a co-financing principle.
During the reporting period the republic declared volumes of financing from the federal budget under all possible federal programs. Actually, 35 target federal programs and sub-programs were financed. Within the framework of these programs reconstruction of the White Sea - Baltic channel, Kizhi open-air museum, objects of Valaam archipelago, the National Theatre building, conservatory, construction of the academic and laboratory building of PetrSU, the Supreme court building and others was carried out. Construction and reconstruction of motorways of federal and republican value with 3,8 billion roubles of assignments in 2002 - 2005, including 3,1 billion roubles of federal means was carried out. Within the same period 51 objects of the sphere of housing and communal services, social, engineering, and transport infrastructure were put into operation in the republic due to all sources of financing.
In total 9,8 billion roubles was allocated in 4 years for implementation of federal target programs and federal address investment program, including 5,8 billion roubles from the federal budget, 1,9 billion roubles from the republican budget, and 2,1 billion roubles from unappropriated sources.
Within the past 4 years really had incomes of population of the republic have increased by 37.1%. The real wages during the same period have increased by 52.9%.
In recent years in the Russian Federation ratings Karelia has risen from the 51 to the 26 place on the level of social and economic development, on the 31 place on quality of a life, on the 10 place on use of information technologies. Among regions of the Northwest federal district on the index of industrial production growth Karelia wins first place, and is on the third place among subjects of the Russian Federation as a whole across Russia.
The republic has been recognized the winner among European regions, and was awarded with the honorary title of the European Region of 2003. In 2003 Karelia has been included in the group of 20 Russian regions possessing the most effectively working management personnel in åðó sphere of attraction of investments.
Kareliya is on the 3 place in the Northwest federal district on the level of attraction of means from the federal budget per inhabitant (after St.-Petersburg and Leningrad region). This parameter is higher than on the average in Russia.
In the end of 2005 the Fitch Ratings international rating agency has awarded the republic with the most high investment credit rating at the A level, "stable" forecast. Among subjects of the Russian Federation only Yakutia and Komi have such high ratings.
The stated above facts testify that, perhaps not as fast as it is desired, yet the republic develops, solves social problems. The economy picks up inertia of moving forward, thus, the potential of social opportunities increases as well.
Now the Government of the RK develops the Program and Strategy of social and economic development of the republic till 2010, providing the further growth of economy, increase of the level and quality of life of the population of Karelia. Corresponding corrective amendments in the Concept of development of the republic will be brought.
The work will have to be done under conditions of reforming of the government and local self-government, differentiation of powers between levels of authority. Within the framework of administrative reform it is necessary to provide availability and quality of state services to the population. Work of the Government as a whole, and of every official, will be assessed according to the final result. The Government of the RK is ready for it.
Implementation of mainstream national projects Education, Health, Development of Agriculture, and Accessible and Comfortable Habitation - to Citizens of Russia is prioritized. Coordination Council at the Head of the RK for realizations of priority national projects, as well as working groups in corresponding ministries have been created. Detailed programs are developed, the personal responsibility for implementation of every action is distributed. Programs are supplemented with initiatives of the Head of the republic to be fulfilled at the expense of the republican and local budgets.
Low incomes of almost one fifth of population of the republic, high rate of unemployment in a number of districts, growth of housing-and-municipal services tariffs, delays of wages payment at a number of enterprises and other essential problems which remain solved yet can not but make the Government of Karelia anxious. The Government was guided by them developing the Program and Strategy of the republic development for the following four years.

By taking this focused approach we've been generating qualified leads that get to know and trust you personally through your multiple informative ads so that when they request a call from you, they are requesting it from you specifically and not a pool of lenders you compete with. This has allowed us to often to reduce advertising costs by 25-75% and at the same time often doubling the number of prospective borrowers requesting a meeting.
Most Lenders know they have to follow-up at least 7 times before a Realtor is willing to meet, but they don't have a system in place that will allow them the time to do it.
LinkedIn is a great tool to meet and network, but most people don't know how to take a relationship beyond "John is a new connection". Tyson has found a way to not only find those realtors in your 2nd-degree connection network, he has found a way get them to the point where you're meeting with 5-10 of those realtors every week.
If you are a mortgage broker spending thousands on online advertising, or are tired of chasing Realtors but know you need them to grow, Tyson has the ability to very quickly show you where you are making mistakes and how to correct it.
Whats Next?
Let's have a quick chat! Feel free to book in a time for me to call you to see whether or not we're a fit.

(For the latest information on what Phil has predicted, click here)
Here is America's favorite holiday. The big question everyone is asking is: will Phil predict early spring or will the cold winter drag on for another six weeks?
The quirky rodent will show his magical prognostication early in the morning, and therefore, there are no worries that his show will clash with the Super Bowl.
Punxsutawney Phil will pop up from his borrow at around 7:20am and tell the nation what the weather condition is going to be like for the next month or so.
According to the curious folklore, if the groundhog sees his shadow and returns to his hole, he has predicted six more weeks of winter weather. But if the rodent does not see his shadow, and hence does not return to his borrow, it means he has predicted an early spring!
The day (2 February) during which Phil makes his famous prognostication is known as 'Groundhog Day' in the US and Canada. Phil is considered the world's most powerful prognosticating rodent, and during the rest of the year when is not tasked with the job of forecasting the weather, he lives in the town library with his "wife" Phyllis.
The National Weather Service has predicted a cloudy day on Sunday, with some rain and snow possible. But Phil is often known to be fickle, so it's not really possible to say what he will actually do.
While all the attention is on Phil, he will not be the only groundhog to predict the weather. In Staten Island Zoo there will be two other groundhogs, Staten Island Chuck and Buckeye Chuck, who will be stepping out of their burrows as well. Silive.com has said that Mayor Bill de Blasio will officiate the groundhog ceremony at the Staten Island Zoo. The news outlet notes that this will be Staten Island Chuck's first prediction during the new mayor's administration.
But the spotlight is still on Phil, though the National Climatic Data Center has described Phil's forecasts as "average, inaccurate". "The groundhog has shown no talent for predicting the arrival of spring, especially in recent years," a spokesperson said.
However, it remains to be seen what Phil will really do this morning. Live streaming of Groundhog Day 2014 can be seen at VisitPa.com.

Published at Sunday, June 02nd, 2019 - 06:10:34 AM. Coffee Table. By Avery Allard.
Most people when buying a coffee table, even a glass one, automatically assume that safety comes as standard. However this is not always the case. Glass coffee tables look elegant and modern and can make a room look lighter and more airy. However, they can also represent a hazard to small children and adults alike.
You need a table with several drawers or shelves or you can go for one looking like a bottom drawer. Your living room is the meeting place of friends? You need a large table so you can fit lots glasses or cups on it. You want a big meal, but not always have enough space? Choose a "nest" of tables, meaning three tables of different sizes that can be used separately, but can be tidied away beneath one and other.

Van Tyres
Van tyres combine the particular advantages of passenger car tyres with the higher demands of truck tyres. Light truck tyres are used in particular for vans that allow higher speeds than trucks.
Transporter tyres for comfortable, fast vehicles
Modern transporters are used for both freight and passenger transport. The resulting claims also affect the requirements of the tyres. Transporter tyres can withstand even higher speeds without problems, offer good steering performance and even enable a sporty driving style. The rolling noise is very low - comparable with those of car tyres.
Transport tyres for heavy loads
Light truck tyres are exposed to much higher loads than car tyres. For this reason, the substructure consists of a multi-reinforced carcass. As a result, the tyres allow a higher total weight, which meets the requirements of modern vans. Thanks to its tread and special rubber compound, the handling characteristics of transporter tyres are comparable to those of car tyres.
Economy and longevity
Another plus of good van tyres is the low rolling resistance, which ensures reduced abrasion and high mileage. This makes transporter tyres particularly economical, which plays an important role especially in company vehicles and fleet operators. The tyres offer a consistent quality over the entire life and also convince with reduced fuel consumption.
Buy cheap van tyres in Birmingham – Flaxley Tyres
Here at Flaxley tyres, you will find a large variety of van tyres. Please have a look at our website. You will probably find what you are looking for.
If you are looking for a particular tyre make or size and you can't find it via our search engine, please give us a call. We have very good connections to many different suppliers so ordering your particular tyres in, should not be a problem for us.

Olaleye Aluko, Abuja
The Nigerian Air Force said on Thursday that it would provide transport aircraft to the Independent National Electoral Commission for the movement of election materials and other logistics nationwide.
The Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar, stated this in Abuja during the quarterly conference with senior officers and men of the air force, noting that all personnel must not be involved in partisan politics as the 2019 general elections neared.
Abubakar said the aim of the conference was "to review the progress attained in the air force since the last quarter as well as critically assess the performance of the service in the past few months."
The air chief said the military would also continue to work towards ensuring that the sovereignty of Nigeria was not undermined by any group or individuals.
Abubakar said, "I remind the senior officers that the 2019 general elections are fast approaching and, therefore, caution them not to allow themselves to be dragged into partisan politics. I implore the officers to stay focused on the discharge of the constitutionally assigned tasks of the air force.
"The air force is willing to avail INEC its transport aircraft for the expeditious distribution of electoral materials, as it had done in the past, should INEC require such services.
"The aim of the conference is to review the progress attained since the last conference. The conference equally provides an avenue to get feedback from various field commanders while also keeping them abreast of the policy direction of the NAF headquarters."

Family Guy Season 9 Episode 15 "Brothers & Sisters" Review
In an uncharacteristically sweet Family Guy episode, aptly titled "Brothers & Sisters" Lois's sister Carol gets married to Mayor Adam West. Carol, who has bad luck with love, comes to visit Lois after getting divorced from her ninth husband and instead falls madly in love with Quahog's mayor. Let's break it down.
The episode was fast-paced and coherent, a nice change of pace from the last couple of fractured episodes. While it wasn't hilariously funny, it did have heart and we got to see the adults functioning together as a family. Peter's "sweet" quote about his marriage with Lois and his desire for siblings is a nice glimpse into the emotional side of Peter that we rarely get to see.
For some reason, I didn't expect the marriage to go through; I thought perhaps they would find a way to circumvent the wedding in an unexpected Family Guy fashion. But the lovers get their dream wedding and a movie reunion of spinning around and kissing at the airport. The episode does end abruptly after the wedding; will the writers make it stick or is it simply a one-shot episode with no continuity?
Some of the romantic scenes with Carol and Mayor West are no doubt clever homage to typical romantic comedy scenes, like strolling by the beach in a sunset or reuniting at the airport.
Mayor West shooting the man at the beach to make the date memorable for Carol actually made me chuckle; it's what Family Guy does best after all; unexpected twists in average situations. Overall, these were clever touches to an overall solid episode.

All the inspiration you need to leave the house and discover the Top 10 Things To Do In Melbourne For Kids.
I get it. I really do. Finding the motivation to leave the house with kids in tow requires more effort than rolling a 5-tonne elephant in a wagon up a hill. But it is true, what they say - once you're out and adventuring with your kids, there's no better feeling.
Well, at least until public humiliation in the form of toddler tantrums are thrown and your kid tells you that he refuses to walk another step, that's probably when you'll publicly proclaim - "I immediately regret this decision."
But, until then, folks, explore the beautiful city and find the best kids' activities in Melbourne - indoor and outdoor.
For more on Melbourne, don't forget to take a look at my Ultimate Melbourne City Guide: Where To Eat, Sleep & Play.
Discover More Activities in Melbourne for Families:
Melbourne Museum & Pauline Gandel Children's Gallery
The Melbourne Museum is a natural and cultural history museum where you can learn all about the origins of Melbourne, our nation's indigenous history, as well as the natural history of the world.
Admire dinosaur bones, observe real-life creepy spiders in action, immerse yourselves in the bug life and learn about beetles, butterflies, ants and much more.
Buuuut, let's not get ahead of ourselves. The best thing to do in Melbourne for kids is the Pauline Gandel Children's Gallery - and, if you haven't heard of it, you and the kiddos need to get onto it. Stat.
You'll find this world class interactive and educational play space in the far west wing of the Melbourne Museum (entry is included in your ticket) with over 2000 square metres of indoor and outdoor fun.
Entry price: $15 AUD (adult), free for children up to 16 years
Opening times: Daily 10am - 5pm
11 Nicholson St, Carlton VIC 3053
ArtVo - Immersive Art Gallery
Mums, Dads, and tech savvy kids - I guarantee you, this place will take your 'gram feed to the next level. People won't know what hit 'em.
Duck into the mind-blowing 3D trick art gallery - ArtVo and allow yourselves to go absolutely bonkers with the immersive artwork. Essentially, become a part of the art. Because art can be boring (if you're unsophisticated like me) if you don't know what you're looking at, but if you can become a part of the canvas, well, that makes life a whole lot more exciting.
Still unsure of what this elusive ArtVo gallery is? No stress. I dedicated an entire article to this family fun spectacle.
Entry price: $28 (adults), $18 (children 5-15 years)
Opening hours: Daily 10am - 5pm (Sunday to Thursday), 10am - 9pm (Friday & Saturday)
26 Star Cres, Docklands VIC 3008
Southbank, Melbourne
A visit to Melbourne isn't complete without a stroll along the glorious Southbank Promenade - and, there's no place with a more abundant choice of kids' activities in Melbourne than this lovely strip along the river.
Drop into Sea Life Melbourne on a rainy day to view the world's only display of elephant sharks, sting rays a-plenty, a gigantic croc (as you would in Australia), and heaps more marine life.
Or, spend a half day at the Crown Casino Complex and catch the latest blockbuster, grab a bite to eat in one of the many food courts, go for a tenpin bowl at Kingpin Bowling, but... do not forget to treat the little ones to quality time at Playtime. Legit the hippest arcade in Melbourne filled to the brim with the latest games, laser tag, and more.
The Melbourne Gardens
When Melbourne weather isn't being a PMSing uber-b*tch - plan for a day at the Melbourne Gardens to immerse yourself in the best of what Mother Nature has to offer.
Start your visit at the Shrine of Remembrance, Melbourne's iconic memorial to those who served in the wars that plagued that nation's history. Don't miss the terrace up top for breathtaking views of the Melbourne skyline.
Cross into the Royal Botanic Gardens and discover magnificent plant landscapes, iconic 19th Century architecture, and of course, Ian Potter Children's Garden - an outdoor wild play garden where kids can get their hands dirty climbing rocks and trees, roam through a magical bamboo forest, and observe animals species in the wetlands.
We conquered the entire gardens in a day with a baby and toddler, we had our 10-month old in a Tula carrier so he could vicariously experience the fun of jumping and climbing around in the Children's Garden through Andy, who was carrying him. I would 100% recommend bringing a carrier, as the Children's Garden isn't easily navigable with a stroller.
Did you know that Sydney is also home to an Ian Potter Children's Garden? Find it in this epic list of Sydney's best attractions for kids.
Legoland Discovery Centre
Look, childhood memories are either made from Disneyland, or, in Melbourne's case - the Legoland Discovery Centre.
You'll find Melbourne's Legoland Discovery Centre inside the largest shopping centre in the southern hemisphere - Chadstone. AKA Chaddy. Chaddy, bruh.
The ultimate indoor playground features Lego-themed rides, a 4D cinema, and five Lego Build & Play zones. You also get to view Melbourne's famed attractions in Lego form, from the Melbourne Star to Luna Park - no sight is missed.
Entry price: from $26 AUD (adults), kids under 3 free of charge
Opening hours: 9am - 5:30pm (Sunday to Wednesday), 9am - 7pm (Thursday to Saturday)
Level 2/1341 Dandenong Rd, Chadstone VIC 3148
Zoos Victoria
Where else do you expect to see Australian animals (that are not trying to attack you)? At the zoo.. or sanctuary, of course. Besides, you can't really say you've been to Australia until you've selfie'd with a koala or kangaroo, right?
For an all-round experience and the closest one you'll find to the city is the Melbourne Zoo, where you'll find animal species from all corners of the world.
If Africa seems a tad too distant for a safari tour, then you can't miss the Werribee Zoo, where you'll be hurled into the depths of the savannah grasslands to get up close and personal with rhinos, giraffes, zebras, and so much more.
Last, but not least, head east towards the Yarra Valley where you'll find the Healesville Sanctuary. This is a real slice of the Aussie bush - experience close-up encounters with echidnas, kangaroos, koalas, wombats and heaps more Aussie wildlife.
For more information on ticket prices, location & opening hours, visit Zoos Victoria.
St Kilda Beach
The perfect place for a weekend family outing - St Kilda certainly has some of the best family activities in Melbourne. It's kind of like the Venice Beach of Australia. Kinda.
Bring sausages and lamb, and have a BBQ inside the Catani Gardens, where you'll find a fun outdoor playground for kids. If the temperature starts to soar, head over to the beach for a quick dip, stroll down the beautiful St Kilda pier and go on penguin watch, or simply watch skilled kitesurfers sway with the wind.
But, by far, the best attraction in St Kilda for kids is... (drum rolls) Luna Park. This century-old theme park exudes old school carnival feels that will definitely bring back some childhood memories.
Albert Park Lake
Only 3km outside of the Melbourne CBD, Albert Park Lake is a fabulous nature retreat for families, dog walkers, joggers, and cyclists - and, it is most famously known for hosting the annual Australian Grand Prix.
Featuring a mega outdoor playground that resembles a medieval fortress, BBQ facilities, and paddle boat hire - kids will love getting out and about for this.
If it's a scorcher of a day, you can always duck into the Melbourne Sports & Aquatic Centre for a dip in the pool and play on the slides.
Scienceworks & Williamstown
Get the whole fambam in on it, and learn something new at Scienceworks Melbourne.
Head on over to Melbourne's westside to explore what future of technology holds, discover devices of the past and present, and let the kids run wild inside the 'Ground Up' exhibition where babies to 5-year olds can work together to solve 3D puzzles, build flying contraptions, stack blocks, and so much more.
After your visit, continue onwards to Williamstown where you and the kids can playground hop all the way down the coastal trail, admire views of the city skyline, jump aboard the HMAS Castlemaine (an ex-WW2 warship), or go for a swim at Williamstown Beach.
Scienceworks Ticket Prices: $15 (adults), kids under 16 free of charge
Opening hours: Daily 10am - 4:30pm

No. A kids' activities list is not complete without a visit to the local animal farm for some guinea pig petting action and cuddles with Shaun the Sheep.
Visit every second Saturday of the month and enter the premises for a gold coin donation, which will give you access to the farm, as well as Melbourne's best farmer's market that takes place only once a month.

For my birthday this year, I was given the gift of having a gastronomic trip in Sydney. When D asked where I would like to go, I happily presented him with my wishlist of restaurants in Sydney.
Picture taken during 2006 NYE Countdown
Birthday is a blessing from God, as much as life is a gift from God. I thank God for the blessings I received and also for seeing me through the challenges I faced last year.
It's been a busy week, but I will hopefully find time to put up the wonderful places I visited in Sydney. Stay tuned!

Report: Several Barriers Hinder Sharing of Public Health Care Data
December 4, 2014 in News
The electronic exchange of public health care data could be hampered by several barriers, including privacy and interoperability issues, according to a report published in the journal BMC Public Health, Health IT Security reports (Snell, Health IT Security, 12/1).
Details of Report
For the report, researchers carried out a systematic literature review to assess the potential barriers to sharing public health care information. The researchers then grouped the barriers into categories, with the goal of fostering a dialogue on potential solutions (van Panhuis et al., BMC Public Health, 11/5).
The researchers identified 20 potential barriers to data sharing in public health within six categories:
- Economic;
- Ethical;
- Legal;
- Motivational;
- Political; and
- Technical.
Examples of potential barriers include:
- Copyright and ownership concerns, such as a lack of understanding about or documentation of public health data ownership resulting in "inconsistent ad-hoc guidelines" and data restrictions being the default option;
- Data formatting issues, such as public health data being collected and maintained in paper format or outdated and incompatible electronic format;
- Data preservation and archiving issues;
- Interoperability issues, such as technical software tools used in the private health sector not being widely available in the public sector;
- Lack of data retrieval systems; and
- Privacy concerns, such as an inability to make clear distinctions between data that are fully anonymous and data that contain personal identification information resulting in policies restricting all data types.
The researchers noted that the multiple issues have led to compounding problems.
They suggested that stakeholders address the issues comprehensively and develop a systematic framework to reduce the barriers (Health IT Security, 12/1).

I'm ready for this year's challenge! Are you?
Please help me spread the word by sharing this. Thanks!
Yes! I am excited too. I can't wait to see what everyone is writing about.
Well, I can't say I'm ready at the moment, nut I'm working on it.
I would hve started my preparation earlier, but I wasn't sur ethe chalelnge was happening, due to the blog being down for so long.
So happy we are at it once more 🙂

This year, I'm doing it with my new blog about my chronic illness. Excited for that. =)

Very exited for this one. My preparations are good, i want to keep things simple and not going to over prepare.
I'm really excited about the challenge this year. I'm working on my posts and hopefully I'll them all completed before April 1st. I have way more fun when I prepare my posts in advance. I like to spend the month hopping around and visiting other blogs and I can't do that if I'm stressed out trying to write mine at the last minute. Many people don't realize that the first time they participate. It's been my experience that the more prep work I get done, the more I enjoy the challenge. I always find new and interesting blogs I want to visit each day in addition to my regular favorites. If I have just one hard day at work or home or my family needs me, then I find that its's often hard to catch back up with the challenge, but planning ahead allows for life's distractions.
I wanted to thank you for the incredibly informative sign up instructions you prepared. You really put a lot of time and effort into both the written instructions and the video. I'm grateful for the detailed, step by step walk through. I spent a long time reading it and then going through my blog. It truly helped. I haven't blogged in quite a while and you had some fantastic and useful tips that I wouldn't have even considered. I like the master list and daily list this year. I'm still wavering on my theme, but, I"ll decide soon. Thanks again. I don't know how you do all that you do. You really are a wonderful person.

Certified Tutor
Writing is my passion. Reading is my love. I adore words on a page describing the thoughts of a fascinating person. People and words are what interested me in Psychology of which I have a Bachelor's Degree from Howard University. .Psychology taught me about the intricacies of human nature and as such, I have learned how to connect with others rather easily and intimately quickly. This is how I approach my students. I learn their likes and dislikes and treat them as humans first then I can better instruct them toward improving their academic achievements. I work as a teacher's assistant in special education for an autistic student. He is sensory driven and highly passionate about his likes and dislikes. My approach again was to get to know him and I learned he responds visually. So I found online games and made learning fun for him. He is thriving like no one has ever seen before. His mother is thrilled. He is now reading when he once hated chapter books. I learned what he likes and plugged him in to it academically. That's my style. I teach because I love to learn. Teachers are usually the best students. I am a writer and have written a novel and several screenplays. I have a certificate in film and belong to a local screenwriting group. By the Spring I will have my California Substitute Teaching Credential.

MANILA, Philippines — Sephy Francisco, 27, an events singer from the Philippines, impressed all four judges of "The X Factor UK" with her version of "The Prayer" by Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli on the third week of auditions of the reality singing competition.
Sephy, who walked on stage in a blue, long sleeved, mid-length dress, long curled locks, and a pair of wedge heels, had an unexpected surprise for the judges and the audience. They were all pleased as soon as she started singing and belting out the high notes of the song, but she also took them all by surprise when she flawlessly sang the male part of the song and showed a seamless transition on both male and female voices.
Sephy received a standing ovation from the audience and all four judges with judge Simon Cowell giving her two thumbs up after the performance.
Judge Ayda uttered a big wow before she sat down. "Well that was a surprise!" she said.
"I've never judged a duo who is one person, it was incredible!" Simon shared. "I saved money, you made more money."
Prior to her performance, Sephy shared that she admires Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston when judge Robbie Williams asked her who she admires in the music world.
She also shared that she chose the song "The Prayer" because she feels that she is guided by the Lord in everything she does.
Sephy received four yeses from the judges' votes and will move on to the next round of the competition with fellow Filipino contestant Maria Laroco, who also got four yeses during her audition last week. (philstar.com)

As we begin a new week, I thought it would be interesting to consider how many people were exposed to AiG teaching just this past week. When we do this, all we can do is to praise God for the way He is using AiG and the Creation Museum to reach thousands upon thousands of people—each week!
Creation Museum Visitors:
About 12,000 this past week (over 3,000 just yesterday)—bringing the total for this fourth year of operation (which began the day after this past Memorial Day) to around 100,000 visitors. In just under three years, we welcomed our one millionth visitor (this past May).
Defending the Faith Conference:
Almost 3,000 people attended the four-day event in Tennessee (plus many others that were attending other AiG teaching programs with our various speakers last week). See recent blogs on this event.
AiG's Family of Websites:
Over 200,000 visits last week (we are averaging over 10 million visits a year—and growing) for www.answersingenesis.org, www.creationmuseum.org, etc.
VBS Program:
We obviously don't know how many children were at a Vacation Bible School program this past week, but we know about 3,000 churches are using AiG's VBS program this summer (not just in America but countries like Australia as well)—so multiple thousands of children are coming under AiG's teaching through the VBS program The Egypt File.
Daily Radio Program:
Many tens of thousands each week listen to our daily Answers radio program on hundreds of stations across the USA and around the world. An outside consultant who did a radio effectiveness audit for us calculated that this program results in over 640,000 impressions per week (around 33.3 million impressions per year). You can check our listing on our website. Various AiG speakers/researchers do interviews/talk shows on a variety of media outlets each month.
News Reports:
Recently I blogged about the various media that had conducted AiG interviews (print, TV, or radio) or published news reports—many thousands read and watch such media reports. We are interviewed by media, or media visit the Creation Museum, on a weekly basis.
Answers Magazine:
With over 72,000 subscsribers (see yesterday's blog), a digital and print version, affiliated websites (including a children's website), and subscribers in 120 countries, we just don't know how many thousands are influenced by this publication each week.
And who knows how many thousands were watching AiG videos, reading various AiG resources or using AiG curricula in Home School, Church or at other places last week. I had a blog post recently where I told about a Master Books display at a Christian Booksellers exhibit in which they featured books I was author, coauthor, or editor and they found since they took over Master Books from a previous owner, 1.8 million of such publications had been distributed. And then there are all of the other publications by many different authors—multi-millions total in print.
All told, we can conservatively say that well over 250,000 people received Bible-upholding teaching from AiG this past week! It might even be over half a million—especially because of radio and VBS and news reports about our ministry.
We do need to give all glory to our Creator God—to praise Him for the way He has called so many people to be a part of this ministry and to use it to reach so many lives with the truth of God's Word and most importantly with the message of the saving power of the gospel.
Now we also need to mention that we also get a lot of opposition for what we do—from the world (which is to be expected) and also (sadly) from within the church. However, I believe our response to all of this should be one like David as he sang in Psalm 108:
1 O God, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
2 Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn.
3 I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations.
4 For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds.
5 Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth;
6 That Your beloved may be delivered, Save with Your right hand, and hear me.
7 God has spoken in His holiness: "I will rejoice; I will divide Shechem And measure out the Valley of Succoth.
8 Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver.
9 Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph."
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom?
11 Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless.
13 Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies.

Not too long ago I posted a request for inspiration I posted about an upcoming Masquerade Ball that I need a new costume for. (Well, I don't NEED a new costume – rather I WANT a new costume.. since this group of people have already seen most of my existing costumes…) I wasn't really sure which direction I wanted to go in, so I headed to the fabric store and hoped for some inspiration!
I was up in Edmonton and headed to Marshall's fabrics. I've been there once before and wasn't too impressed with the organization of the shop – but the prices were ok. This time around I felt the same – I found great fabric – but only in one colour… (or at least I couldn't find it in other colours…) or fabrics were in the entirely wrong sections – and some sections seemed to be entirely random.
Still though, I found some fabric which got me started…
So, starting off with some inspiration images…
Please click on the images for the original source – no copyright infringement intended, using only for reference and research purposes.
|From the Statue Forum
A description…
"He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm. The jackal was strongly associated with cemeteries in ancient Egypt, since it was a scavenger which threatened to uncover human bodies and eat their flesh. The distinctive black color of Anubis did not have to do with the jackal but with the color of rotting flesh and with the black soil of the Nile valley, symbolizing rebirth." – From SpinSerpent
From the Closed Heart
An amazing costume in photos…
Check out this series of photos illustrating the build of an amazing costume from the wire-frame headpiece to the illuminated ankh that the player will carry. I LOVE this illuminated ankh – and this part (unlike the mask) might actually be attainable! – Check out Wolftronix
From Gratz Industries
|An actual costume this time!Clearly not something I'll be making for myself for this time around, but a great jumping off point!
See below for a different view of the same costume! Or click here for yet another!
From Demmi Goddess
|This photo gives a LOT more detail of the top of the costume, which is fantastic!The mask looks fantastic – the ears are slightly striped in texture (as though golden ribbon has been laid into a curved ear, the eyes are outlined in gold, and the nose is shaped just like a canine nose. Really excellent work!The headpiece goes over the head and comes down on either side – The shape of this is really distinct – and something important to replicate I think to get the right look. In this case it's black fabric with golden (lame?) fabric stripes cut and sewed onto the black fabric.There is a collar – a golden (lame) curve trimmed on either side of the curve with golden ribbon-braid, and then a different gimp-like braid down the collar for decoration. There are also golden coins with blue beads hanging from the collar.The triangle top is just as described above – with the same ribbon-braid and gimp-braid to decorate and trim it.The cape is sheer and dotted.The staff has a large ankh on the top..Cleopatra's foam headdress is also fantastic!
It looks like Anubis may have originally had a white costume! (The mask definitely looks the same.) Another shot here. And yet another! So photogenic!
Just a few links
These are nice photos and all, but don't really add a lot to my overall inspiration board. Still – they might come in handy!
- A glossy black and gold statue on the Lost tv forum.
- A photo of a huge statue in Seattle (to celebrate the King Tut exhibit). Another photo of the same statue in Vienna. And London.
- A bunch of really cool Anubis tattoos – unfortunately you can't see the larger images without a membership…
- Really beautiful illustration – though I don't think it's useful inspiration – though I do love the idea of the half-mask.
- Another amazing illustration – I like the use of green and purple with this one – though I think that black, gold, and blue will probably read better…
- Anubis vs. Batman. Awesome.
- A little statue, but it doesn't add anything to my list – it's just pretty. (It does use red along with white and blue for the costume, which is nice too…)
From BakuraGirl
|Speaking of the shape of that headpiece, BakuraGirl has a great sketch with a fantastic idea – cut outs. (For the shoulders)She also illustrates a snake on the top of the head, and golden paint around the eyes.More photos on her page show a work-in-progress of the mask – using wire and tape for the initial shape of the head, followed by paper mache, and foam for the ears.
While searching around, I found this really awesome mask/helmet from a Sci-Fi series that used an Anubis-like character, and I really love the decorative elements contained within the texture of the helmet. (Fans/fronds, scarabs, etc) I thought that having some decorative elements included in my research would be important and useful too.
- Fronds/fans, flowers, and scarabs in this link
- Scarabs, people/characters and text in this one
From Blingdom of god
|This doesn't really seem to fall into the same category for inspiration – a ring…BUT… I am thinking this might be a neat way to make the 'mask' – base it off a tiara/crown versus basing it off the mask.. This might make more sense in my head than on 'paper'.
From the Atomic Think Tank
|Ok, moving back to illustration…I am adding this one in because of the colours and decorations more than anything else…
From Kheleksul
|An amazing illustration
From Dark Natasha
|Another fabulous illustrationI really love the details on this one.
So I've got my inspiration…
Now what?
… more posts to come! Follow the Masquerade Ball Category for where I go from here!

Bergins are delighted to present this very spacious and bright family home.
Oakley Park is a quiet residential road and number 27 is located just at a bend in the street, meaning that its site and garden are larger than many of its neighbours.
South facing and not overlooked, the rear garden of the property is exceptionally large. A garage and various sheds barely intrude in to the space which benefits from day long sun.
Oakley Park is in an excellent location on a quiet street, but within easy access of the N11, Dart, Schools (Newpark, St Augustines, Blackrock College, St Andrews, Sion Hill, Guardian Angels NS, Carysfort NS)
Blackrock Village is a short walk away, with an extensive range of shops, restaurants, bars and an excellent park at the seafront.
The M50 is approximately a 10 minute drive away and bus and car routes in to the City are easily accessible from Oakley Park.
This lovely family homes comes to the market in good condition, but has plenty of potential to extend, subject to P.P.
