Since 1917, Finland has gone from an agrarian backwoods to the world's best. From music to art to saunas, Finland has made major contributions to culture in the 100 years since its independence.
The best quality of life in the EU. World's Best Country for Human Capital. The most stable country in the world. Cleanest air. Second best country for mothers. Second happiest nation on earth. Second place on the Good Country Index in 2014.
Finland has racked up its share of distinctions over the last decade, ranking at or near the top of numerous surveys for its gender equality, public education system, press freedom and quality of life.
That success hasn't come without a fight. When Finland declared independence from the Grand Duchy of Russia, officially on December 6, 1917, a civil war broke out that, although quickly over, continued to divide the country for decades.
After independence, the young nation began a series of reforms that helped to make Finland what it is today. A series of clinics were opened in the 1920s to look after the health of children and new mothers. Education as a right for all was implemented. Land reforms gave citizens without their own acreage a plot of land as a means of doing away with a divisive class system.
Although the reforms stalled at the beginning of World War II as the country fought off the Soviet Union in what is known as the Winter War from 1939-1940, Finland remained independent — and true to its original ideals.
Culturally wealthy
Those ideals have helped create one of the best-educated, gender-equal countries in the world. They've also paved the way for the country of less than six million inhabitants to have an outsized influence on modern culture, especially in Europe. Many of these cultural contributions that have made their way to Europe and North America are a direct result of the country's politics.
With a focus on inclusive, state-funded basic education that lasts at least nine years, Finland has become a country that all others look to as a role model.
It's also helped turn the agrarian backwater into an economic powerhouse, ranked as one of the best places for technology firms to do business due to its citizens' technical know-how. The computer operating system Linux was invented there, as was the original Nokia mobile phone and the wildly popular video game Angry Birds.
A further emphasis on music education has meant that Finland has given classical music a number of the best conductors and composers working today. It's also - somewhat surprisingly - been a boon to the heavy metal and hard rock scene, with lesser-known bands like Hanoi Rocks providing inspiration for Guns N' Roses.
The gay community has likewise drawn inspiration from Finland, with the sketches of ground-breaking artist Touko Laaksonen, who called himself "Tom of Finland." His homoerotic drawings featured muscular men in various stages of undress and clad in fetish gear. The art was boundary-pushing in the 1950s and 60s and led to attempts to censor it in the US. The drawings, which have become standard in the gay community, are now part of modern art collections in the US and UK.
Proud of its cultural heritage, Finland has created a centenary program filled with events and exhibitions that highlight the contributions of its citizens, including that of "Tom of Finland." A documentary focusing on Laaksonen's life and work was released in early 2017 and is showing across Europe throughout the year. As well, there is an exhibition of his work taking place in Berlin and Turku as well as a musical in the southwestern city in Finland.
A year of celebrations
Tom of Finland isn't the only artist getting special attention in 2017. An exhibition of works by Finnish artists including Helene Schjerfbeck — known as the Anteneum Collection — made its way across the country as part of the centenary program.
Although the official day marking independence is December 6, the anniversary was celebrated across the country and different exhibitions focusing on Finnish culture were held around the world throughout the year.

Supermason wins stakes race for third straight opening night at Lone Star
Supermason entered Lone Star Park's Bluebonnet Stakes on Thursday coming off two not-so-great outings in Houston.
But in the paddock beforehand, he seemed as cool as a cat with no sign of even the slightest nervous anxiety.
It might be because he felt so at home.
And when it came time to perform this time around under jockey Lindey Wade, he let the field of eight others have it in winning the $50,000 in the 22nd running of the premiere stakes race on opening night at of the track's thoroughbred season.
The victory was his third straight in this 6 1/2 furlong race. He beat Rumpole by 4 3/4 lengths. Direct Dial showed.
For Supermason, trained by Bret Calhoun, the stakes triumph was victory No. 8 in 14 starts in Grand Prairie, where he has taken home more than $200,000 for owner Brad Grady of Covington.
Texas chose the bluebonnet as her flower. Supermason has obviously chosen Lone Star as his race track.
"I know he hasn't shown great the last two outs, but I was nothing but confident in his ability at this race track," Wade said. "He has always run at the top of his game at this race track."
Supermason, who went off at 2-1, came in here a year ago coming off a sluggish winter.
In his last two starts at Sam Houston, in January and February, he crossed the finish line a disappointing seventh and sixth.
There was no doubting the 6-year-old on Thursday, as he broke free from the pack and shot out like a dart gun at the final turn.
The mutuel earnings were modest. A $2 bet paid $4.40 to win, $2.80 to place, and $2.10 to show. The exacta paid $22. The 50-cent trifecta 12.60. The 10-cent superfecta paid $15.60.
Supermason's 11th victory in 33 starts pushed his career earnings to nearly $380,000 for Grady, a Kentucky Derby competitor a year ago.
"I don't think he likes Houston," Wade said. "I've always felt that way. I know he loves this track. I don't' know what it is. I don't know if he likes the North Texas feel or what."

There are just a few months left earlier than Captain Marvel after which Avengers: End Game hit theaters. That means, the spoilers will begin flowing at an alarming price. Samuel L Jackson, who has been taking part in Nick Fury since Iron Man, is normally superb at holding secrets and techniques. In a current interview with Mashable although, Jackson highlights a superpower that we weren't anticipating Captain Marvel to show.
"I imply, the Avengers are] up in opposition to some actually, actually robust odds proper now, we noticed all through Infinity War," Jackson defined. "So now we all know we want one thing that is as highly effective as Thanos, and in some unspecified time in the future, we'll learn how highly effective she is and all of the issues that she's succesful . She's one the few individuals within the Marvel universe that may time journey." BOOM. Captain Marvel can journey by means of time. That means each the Time Stone and Quantum Realm theories may be put to relaxation… probably. If Captain Marvel can transfer by means of time, she will be able to merely deal with issues herself. Of course, the mission will unlikely be that straightforward, however this new data adjustments every part. We already know the heroes can be time touring someway, and now, it seems that Captain Marvel would be the particular person to assist enact a time shift.


text: spex 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2012 Tricopigmentation treatment is bio-absorbed by the immune defence system through phagocytosis in a span of 2 years maximum. As a consequence, even the strongest optical effect given by Tricopigmentation might start fading away from the sixth to the eighth month after the treatment, and thus call for other sessions, which are merely annual restoration sessions. Whenever the patient decides to use other treatment techniques for any reasons, the TricoPigmentation made before will not be constraining as all the traces will be gone after two years. He or she will only need to wait the immune defence system to do its duty. The duration of the treatment is subjective and depends on various external factors related to the patient. The phagocytosis potency How the body cells can include and destruct external material The age of the patient Pigments are injected in the superficial part of the dermis. They tent to be slowly expelled through the natural cell renewal. A young patient has certainly a faster cell renewal process than an adult, so the treatment loses effect before. Lifestyle Cleaning products Sport People swimming, for instance, expose their skin to whitening and sterilizing agents, such as the chlorine inside pools, considerably accelerating the natural cell renewal. Exposure to sun's rays The direct exposure to sun's rays can accelerate the disappearance of the treatment, as it might accelerate the natural phagocytosis process of the body. IMHO the duration of two years is a good thing because it allows you to be free to change your mind or take a different look. Any other questions please ask. Best Regards Milena Lardì.

"I want my children to genuinely understand how magical the world we inhabit is," Jesse Burke writes
"I want my children to genuinely understand how magical the world we inhabit is," photographer Jesse Burke writes, "and how we, as humans, are an integral part of the system. I want them to feel a deep connection to every aspect of their surroundings."
That was the impetus for Wild and Precious, a five-year series of road trips Burke made with his daughter Clover. The book, and its accompanying film, is a love letter to the natural world and Burke's daughter: The pair explore landscapes, animals and roadside motels, all with the goal of observing and appreciating the natural world. Each image in the book is titled after a Johnny Cash song – Burke played Cash's music constantly while on the road with Clover.
Burke teaches at the Rhode Island School of Design, and is a member of Childhood Unplugged, a cooperative group of photographers "who are making a conscious effort to encourage our children to get back to the art of play."

To the Editor:
The mayor's Ad-Hoc Monitoring Group for Waterfront Construction continues to identify the many adverse things that might happen to property near one of the six future construction sites on the waterfront. Ironically, they are doing all this without the assistance or advice of the City Attorney's Office, which refuses to assist committees not appointed by the City Council. In other words, they refuse to speak to the very citizens who pay their salaries .... a sad commentary, at best.
To date, the Monitoring Group has considered an option to barge out demolition materials and barge in building materials to the Old and Historic District, rather than to have hundreds of overloaded dump trucks rolling over our historic streets. The developer of the Robinson Terminal South project (EYA) has agreed to barge the majority (90 percent) of materials in and out of Old Town. The residents living close to the waterfront are most appreciative of this, and they applaud EYA for this promise.
However, the City Attorney and the Director of the Transportation and Environmental Services (T&ES) Department have continually maintained that barging would not be considered for the Carr Hotel development. They have failed to abide by the instructions regarding haul routes within this development's Development Special Use Permit (DSUP) 2012-0019 by dragging out the process over a period of months, when in fact barging could have been a viable alternative to trucking. On at least four occasions, I have requested the mayor to contact Oliver Carr to discuss barging for his development, just as Bob Youngentob (one of the owners of EYA) has done. The mayor advised me that he had someone working on it, but regrettably, (after about six weeks) there has been no headway.
One critical item that surfaced during the Monitoring Group meeting was the review of an overlay depicting construction schedules of the four private developments: Robinson Terminals North and South, the Carr Hotel and the Old Dominion Boat Club. This overlay revealed that by December 2015, all four development sites will be active, three of which are within a two-block area. The result is going to be chaotic, as dump trucks will be running helter-skelter, noise will be unbearable from the pounding of pilings on multiple sites, and debris, dirt and dust will be strewn everywhere, thus making that part of the city a mess. In fact, Union Street will be essentially shut down. All of this disarray does not bode well for the affected residents, or for the businesses trying to make a living. City Hall must draft a reasonable construction phasing schedule, whereby only one construction site at a time is fully operational. Otherwise, the current plan will result in a large catastrophe. Incidentally, two other developments may further add to this carnival of dump trucks — the redevelopment of Windmill Hill Park, and the city's Waterfront Improvement Plan (the promenade and flooding abatement).
The real elephant in the room that evening was the city staff's refusal to ensure that the proper membership of the Monitoring Group be maintained throughout the entire development process. As the developments progress from south to north on Union Street, other neighborhoods will be affected, so new members need to be added to the Monitoring Group, while at the same time keeping the current members, whose areas under construction had not yet ceased. This might mean adding three or four new members to the group, so we respectfully ask the city manager to amend the original group membership to make it more representational.
Furthermore, the city needs to identify one individual to handle all of the inquiries and complaints of citizens for the duration of this massive construction project. Essentially, an ombudsman should be appointed, who is empowered by the council to deal with all aspects of the entire waterfront development. This worked very well before in the case of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge construction, and should be used again.

The Tempe DUI task force will be out in full force, looking for anyone that might be driving under the influence of alcohol. You might think you are safe, but the truth is that with so many officers out there, the chances of you getting caught are higher. You also do not want to make the mistake of thinking that it is ok to drive with some alcohol in your system during the day.
The Arizona DUI task force will be out even in the daytime as statistics are showing that an increased number of people are out on the roads while intoxicated during the daytime. There are things that you can do to avoid getting a DUI in Tempe, Arizona.
Knowing these 10 things will help to prevent you from getting arrested for DUI. It is also important to understand the basic DUI laws in Arizona. They are:
There are several different penalties that you may incur if you are charged with a DUI. Your first-time charges will result in a mandatory jail sentence, a fine, and a driver's license suspension. You will also be required to have an Interlock device placed in your car. This device attaches to your steering wheel. You must blow into the device every 15 minutes to ensure that you have not been drinking. Most of the time, this device will remain on your vehicle for a year. In more severe cases, you will be required to have the device for longer. Penalties only increase for each subsequent offense. Even if they are years later, you will be treated like it is another offense. For severe cases, you could lose your license permanently as well as face a lengthy jail sentence.
If you are under the age of 21, there is a zero-tolerance policy in the state of Arizona. If you are convicted of a DUI, you will be exposed to a 2-year driver's license suspension, jail terms, Interlock device, probation, community service, and treatment for alcohol. These penalties are meant to discourage any underage drinking in the state of Arizona.
If you have been arrested for a DUI by the Tempe DUI task force, it is essential to contact a Tempe DUI Lawyer. We have years of experience and can help you with your case. You may think your case is hopeless, but we have helped many people actually prove that they were not intoxicated. We can show that procedures were followed wrong, and we can also do studies on how much alcohol was actually in your system. We have helped many people to win their cases. If you have been arrested for DUI, please give us a call today. Our phones are open 24-7. We look forward to helping you.

Perhaps due to the shelving of the controversial SOPA and PIPA bills in the US Senate and House of Representatives respectively, the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have acted on their own to coordinate with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to crack down on Internet piracy. Beginning on July 1, participating ISPs will adopt a "Graduated Response" system, with the ultimate goal of "educating" first-time offenders and penalize those who continue to share files illegally. The program, also known as the "six strikes" system, begins with e-mail warnings and can end with the loss of service. The process looks something like this:
If a copyright holder—for example, a record company—discovers a file sharing site or system that it believes to be illegal, it will notify the ISPs participating in the program. Those ISPs will then identify the accounts associated with the activity and initiate a tiered series of warnings and, eventually, penalties.
The first two "strikes" result in written warnings, usually via email, sent to alleged downloaders by their ISPs. The warnings include references to "educational resources" intended to assist users in securing their computers, wireless networks, and Internet accounts. The warnings also include information about copyright infringement and links to multiple sources of legal content.
The consequences escalate after the third incident. If a user is associated with a copyright violation for a third time, the ISP will employ a more "conspicuous" method of warning the user. Such methods may include a pop-up window, or diverting users to a warning page when they first load their browser. The user must acknowledge having read the warning before they will be permitted to use the Internet as normal. The fourth strike is handled in a similar fashion.
The fifth warning is accompanied by "mitigation measures" that may include bandwidth throttling, a tactic ISPs can use to reduce a user's connection speed. Or, the ISP may redirect the user's browser to another warning page; this time, the user would have to contact the ISP in order to restore normal service. (Think of it like a wheel clamp applied to a car for a parking violation.) The mitigation measures will remain largely at the discretion of individual ISPs.
The sixth and final warning could result in a full suspension of the user's account. In addition, the user may be sued under the controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
The organization responsible for administering the system—a group known as the Center for Copyright Information (CCI)—was established jointly by the entertainment and ISP industries. They do not expect many users to fall into the "sixth strike" category; they believe, rather, that a substantial proportion of copyright infringers simply do not know that their activities are illegal.
As the article points out, the CCI is a private organization with no apparent oversight. While the CCI includes an advisory committee meant to represent consumer interests, the article observes that it appears to be "mostly ornamental." The bottom line is that copyright holders can accuse users of infringement, and ISPs can levy penalties against those users, all without needing to confirm any actual wrongdoing.
Users who feel they've been incorrectly penalized—for example, if their wireless connection was used to download files illegally without their knowledge—can file an appeal with the CCI, for a fee of $35, refundable in the event of a decision in the user's favor. It is not clear who will be given the responsibility of handling appeals, but it seems likely that they will be somehow associated with the copyright holders. As the article put it, the system is an improvement over the strong-arm tactics employed by the RIAA and MPAA in the past; but clearly, the "system is rigged in favor of the copyright industry."
Several major ISPs intend to participate in the program, including AT&T, Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Verizon, and Cablevision.
The full report from Digital Trends can be found here.
If the six-strike system is widely adopted—and that appears to be a very real possibility—the implications even for ordinary users are worrisome. If a user is wrongly accused of copyright infringement, he or she could nonetheless suffer disruptions in Internet service for which they've paid, even be slapped with a lawsuit, because of someone else's mistake. To make matters worse, neither the CCI nor the entertainment industry are subject to oversight; they suffer no apparent consequences if they wrongly penalize a user.
More clarity is needed on the legal rights and obligations of individual users; likewise, the rights and obligations of copyright holders need to be more carefully and definitively circumscribed. Unfortunately, if the result of Congressional intervention is to assume the form of bills like SOPA and PIPA, the deck may remain stacked against consumers. If you've been accused of illegal file sharing, you'll need an experienced attorney to protect your rights and help you navigate the intricacies of Internet law.

'NOBODY I TRUST MORE': Three-sport standout, Silver Medallion honoree Taylor Wills heading for U of I
Next stop for three-sports standoutTaylor Wills: Bioengineering at U of I
Billy Hurst File Photo | For The Telegraph
CARLINVILLE — Two of the things Taylor Wills has become most passionate about came together on a recent evening. As a result, the Carlinville High School senior ran the gamut of emotions.
It was April 26. Wills and her Carlinville girls soccer teammates had dropped a South Central Conference showdown with rival Roxana in overtime. But after the game, there was no time for on-field consolations for Wills - she had to hightail it to Lewis and Clark Community College for the Silver Medallion Awards, the annual affair celebrating the area's scholar athletes.
Little did Wills know there was more than just listing her name in the program waiting at LCCC. She was named the winner of the top Female Scholar Athlete Award. Since her soccer game at Wood River had gone to OT, Wills didn't arrive at the ceremony n time to hear her name announced. But that didn't matter to the personable senior.
"I was still wearing my soccer uniform when I got there," Wills said. "My principal (Pat Drew) met me and he was smiling.
"He told me he was sorry about the game, but that he had good news for me - I had won the Female Scholar Athlete Award."
She had missed the announcement, but that didn't faze her.
"I was so down about losing that game in overtime, I wasn't sure I even wanted to go to the awards," she said. "But my mom and dad told me I couldn't mope around about it and needed to go. I'm glad I did; winning the award really picked me up."
Sports and academics have gone hand-in-hand for Wills at Carlinville. A three-sport standout, she also excelled for the Cavies in volleyball and basketball.
"I love all three," Wills said. "I'm going to miss it for sure."
Wills will attend the University of Illinois this fall and major in biological engineering. It's a major that she knows will require her full attention and focus.
"I went back and forth between wanting to be a doctor or an engineer," Wills said. "Bioengineering is right down the middle. I hope to be able to design medical equipment."
Her family has a long-standing tradition of attending the U of I, going back three generations. But Wills, never one to follow the beat of someone else's drummer, wavered between Illinois - and (gasp) Purdue.
"I was seriously considering Purdue," she said. "I had a good visit there. I wasn't just doing it to tease my family."
But the construction of a new $55 billion lab at Illinois helped win her over.
Her four years at CHS whizzed by, as high-school tends to do. But during her time there, she found a good balance - and plenty to do.
Her senior year, the Cavaliers volleyball team made it to the Elite Eight, the girls basketball team had a sparkling 20-9 season and Wills just finished a stellar season with the soccer team that saw the Cavies make it to the Sweet Sixteen and come within an eyelash of an Elite Eight berth.
"It was an amazing year," she said. "The volleyball and soccer teams did so good and the basketball team won our holiday tournament, which was awesome."
On the soccer field, Wills helped anchor a midfield that controlled most every game the Cavies played. Carlinville notched 16 shutouts on the season and the midfield's ability to possess the ball had a lot to do with it.
Carlinville coach Ashley Hayes said she waasn't surprised at the Cavies midfield play or that "T. Wills," as the coach called Taylor, was in on much of that solid play.
"Taylor is a coach's dream," Hayes said. "She worked her tail off every practice and never lost focus. She's obviously an extremely intelligent person and that showed in how she approached each game and prepared herself and her teammates."
Hayes also taught Wills history and economics in the classroom.
"I love Coach Hayes," Wills said. "I look up to her so much. She knows so much about the game and taught me so much.
"She wasn't afraid to yell at me if I needed it, either," Wills said. "I loved it."
The soccer Cavies went 16-3-1.
"Our season blew everybody away, me included," Wills said. "People weren't sure how good we would be, since we had a ot of younger players. But I think we were able to blend it pretty well."
After winning their second consecutive Class 1A regional title, the Cavies topped Warrensburg-Latham 2-0 in the Decatur Lutheran Sectional semifinals, setting up a showdown with Champaign St. Thomas More in the final.
Despite another dominating game by its midfield, Carlinville couldn't find the back of the net and lost the game after overtime and a penalty-kick shootout.
"We hit the goalpost, we hit the crossbar, but we just didn't score," she said. "It was frustrating because we dominated the game. But that's soccer sometimes."
Indeed. In that sectional final, a first-half penalty kick by Wills in regulation time was saved. But Hayes said if she had it to do all over again, Wills would get the nod - every time.
"T. Wills was the backbone of this team in a lot of ways," Hayes said. "There is nobody I have ever trusted more on a soccer field or in the classroom than her."

Music Together of the Northern Lights
If you have been to a mall program with Music Together of the Northern Lights you will know how fun their sessions are! Their teachers are passionate about what they do and really engage the kids as well as parents that are participating. This summer they are offering a variety of camps and drop in programs for kids newborn - 10 so you are sure to find a program to fit your families needs!
Summer Camps
This year, we are offering two different summer camps! We have a Musical Colours camp for children ages 4-7 on August 8-11 & 21-24. We also have a Ukes for Youths camp for children ages 7-10 on July 24-28. All of our camps are mornings only.
Our colourful mornings will be filled with making Music Together "Big Kids" style, followed by games, crafts and fun physical activities like TaeKwonDo, Zumba Kids, Hip Hop, and KidsYoga. And as if that weren't enough, each day we will feature a guest musician that will introduce your child to a new musical instrument for him/her to experience and try.
The Ukes for Youth camp is similar but also teaches children how to play the ukulele!
More details can be found at http://musictogethernl.com/vlt65758.htm.
Summer Drop-in Classes
Summer time in Edmonton means roadtrips, camping getaways and last minute playdates at the park. We like to keep things simple with drop-in classes over the summer months. Families can purchase 4 or 6 week drop-in passes then schedule the classes that work with their schedule. This is a great way to get your music fix AND sample our program. This year, classes will be held in our Riverbend location as well as the 6110 Fulton Road. All of our summer classes are mixed age (newborn - 6 years).
More details can be found at http://musictogethernl.com/vlt59282.htm
Too busy this summer to commit to camps or attend drop in classes? They have also opened registration for their Fall Semester! Get the spot you want by booking early!
Fall Semester
Registration for our 11 week fall semester is now open! We have 47 classes on the schedule, run 7 days a week in 7 locations in and around Edmonton. The majority of our classes are mixed age (newborn to 6 years) but we also have a Babies class and a Big Kids class on our schedule.
*why we mainly do mixed age: Take away the idea of the age-delineated classroom and you take away the age-delineated agenda and expectations that come with it. The Music Together mixed-age class encourages ALL children to participate, process, and experiment with music in whatever way is developmentally appropriate for them. It is a highly effective learning dynamic because it allows every child to personally create their own musical challenges and therefore their own successes. What a great kind of magic when you can empower a child to believe that there is nothing musical that he or she can't do!

Farmer Cuts Off Right Arm With Pocket Knife to Save Life
A South Carolina farmer cut off his own arm after it got stuck in a corn harvester, WYFF4.com reported Sunday.
The nightmare for Sampson Parker of Kershaw County, S.C., began when he noticed a piece of cornstalk stuck in a farm machine in September. When he tried to release the cornstalk, his hand got stuck in the machine.
After about an hour of being trapped, with no response to his calls for help, Parker's arm became numb. He reached for his John Deere pocket knife and started cutting his fingers.
Click here to read the WYFF4.com report.
Shortly after Parker began his dramatic rescue, a fire broke out. He then did the only thing he could to save his life — sacrifice his right arm, WYFF4.com reported.
With little-to-no time to spare, Parker went straight for his arm, cutting away from the bone as fast as he could. Once he severed his arm from his body, he managed to drive himself to a road where a firefighter helped him with the injury.
"My skin was melting. It was dripping off my arm like plastic, plastic melting. I realized I was in trouble," Parker told WYFF-TV.
"I just told myself, 'I'm not going to die here,"' Sampson Parker said Monday on NBC's "Today Show."
"I just kept fighting, kept praying. And then when I did get loose, I jumped up running, I had blood squirting from my arm," he said of the September incident. "It was pretty scary there for a while."
Parker, a construction supervisor in Kershaw County about 20 miles east of Columbia, farms as a hobby.
"I could feel the nerves as I was cutting my arm off," he recalled.
Parker ran to his truck and drove to the front of his home about the time firefighter Doug Spinks passed by. Spinks wrapped Parker's arm and called for help.
Parker said he is doing fine now and has tried to put the ordeal behind him.
"It really wasn't the corn picker's fault. It was my fault. It was just a mistake I made," he said.
Parker did not immediately return a telephone message Monday from The Associated Press.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

My Silk and Willow Experience
When I first heard of Silk and Willow, it was during the January 2015 Develop Retreat when we began our styled sessions one day. They incorporated a beautiful piece of pink silk ribbon into the bouquet and told us a bit about the company. From then, I went to follow them on Instagram and would gawk at the beauty of their work. And that was it… Until one day recently when I was sitting at my desk thinking of how I can add some new flare and décor into my packaging. I finally went to Silk and Willow's website and from there, I was in awe. I am pretty sure I spent at least 2 hours going back and forth on their website to decide on what I wanted to try. And I was completely fine with that since their website is absolutely gorgeous and their work is phenomenal. I found what I wanted to purchase and placed my order. When I got their package in the mail a few days later, I couldn't wait to open it! It was seriously like the amazing website experience all over again! I loved everything from the paper their invoice was printed on to all of the crinkle paper that filled the box to protect my new treasures. As I opened the box, they had more information about their ribbon and as I opened the deep purple tissue paper, it revealed more of my order that I had been anticipating to open and use.
I settled on a package of their "Snips and Bits" to get a feel of their ribbon and to possibly incorporate those pieces into some sessions.
After looking through the Snips and Bits, I got to the drawstring bag. Although I ordered a size too big for what I am looking for, I know it will come into use at some point. I really wanted to order that to see the bag and feel it with my own hands and man, it is worth the purchase! I can't wait to order some smaller ones to put my USB's in for the most amazing clients ever.
And last but certainly not least, the beautiful, natural twine wrapped around the cutest spool I have ever seen. I was fortunate enough to receive all of the items before a package of mine had to be delivered and got to use the twine in the packaging! It was LOVELY!
If you're in the creative industry like me and are looking for a place to go for new packaging ideas, items to incorporate into some styled shoots, if you're a bride looking for some unique items for your wedding, look no further. My experience with Silk and Willow was fantastic and I highly recommend them to you!

Two years and counting… cash rate holds steady
Last month we saw the official cash rate celebrate its second birthday at 1.5%, and this month we're seeing more of the same from the Reserve Bank of Australia.
Yes, the cash rate needle is once again stuck firmly on 1.5% – and it's great news for Aussie home owners. In fact, the RBA hasn't raised interest rates in nearly eight years!
Our record-breaking run of stable interest rates is especially exciting for first home buyers and upgraders, who can head into the busy spring property market knowing home loan rates are still at record lows.
Why no change?
The Reserve Bank is comfortable that "the big three" – our economy, unemployment and inflation rate, are all pretty much where they should be for steady economic growth.
Property values are still cooling in a number of markets especially Sydney and Melbourne, and that means the need to raise interest rates to prevent runaway price growth is no longer a major target on the Reserve Bank's radar.
But some lenders have hiked their rates
The official cash rate may be stable here in Australia, but they are rising overseas. And that's pushing up lenders' funding costs.
Already we've seen some banks raise their variable home loan rates. But in a competitive market some other lenders have lowered their rates. Confusing, right?
That's why now is the time to chat to your Aussie Broker for a free review of your home loan. It's a simple way to know if your home loan is still competitive and appropriate for your needs – or if you could get a better deal elsewhere and potentially pocket valuable savings.

Success stories
Solution: inorigo Environment Impact Navigation
Result: Turning environmental responsibility into value for the end customer
The growing importance of environmental awareness in business resulted in our customer needing to know the origin of the materials used in their packaging material, and consequently which packages they produced that were FSC certified. The challenge was to enable our customer to allocate FSC originated paper to the appropriate packaging material factories and subsequently to allocate the relevant packaging material to the markets requiring it. This situation presented a competitive disadvantage, especially in markets where environmental awareness and regulation were high and where competitors were aiming to gain market share. The ability to have FSC allocation helped protect and gain market share, which could be directly translated into revenue.
We started by creating a model to keep track of FSC material. We implemented the model in our inorigo® platform and populated it with real data.

Solution: inorigo Change Portfolio Navigator™
Result: Better at allocating capital to the right initiatives
In many larger international organizations, there is constant pressure of change based on different functional and market needs. This was the case for our customer. They were experiencing an ever-increasing spend on projects with limited control over value and prioritization. They tried to address the issue several times but failed to achieve lasting success due to the increased administrative burden and complexity. As a foundation for change, there was a corporate strategy. However, the connection between our customer's strategy and their project portfolio was unclear. Our customer's strategy did not play a central role in the decision making process and as a result many projects had little or no strategic alignment making it unclear how they contributed to achieving the corporate strategy.
By utilizing our platform inorigo®, the customer could make all strategic components visible and understandable, as well as show how the different components combined to form a successful strategy implementation. This made it crystal clear how each project contributed to the success of the strategy, and how it would affect the balanced scorecard. The solution gave the customer the ability to:
- At a glance understand how investments were allocated and resources were used
- Prioritize the projects according to strategic alignment and focus areas
- Understand how their current project portfolio impacted the balanced scorecard
- Improved utilization of resources in project portfolio
- Increased target fulfillment of corporate target on BSC
- Closed projects with no strategic alignment
- Consolidated projects for more efficient and faster implementation
- Decreased project portfolio spend by 30%
Solution: inorigo Value Sales Navigation
Result: Increase the level of value sales capacity
As is the case for many organizations operating in a highly demanding and complex business environment, our customer was experiencing a high level of administrative pressure on their sales organization. This called for a new approach to ensure valuable time was spent with customers, not on administration. We helped our customer to identify these issues and realize the true potential of their sales organization.
From administration to value
As business complexity increases, increased administration becomes the norm. Sales organizations have learned to accept that more time is required to control and manage the business; resulting in increased sales costs. Our customer decided to do something about this increasing administration and enable their sales organization to spend more valuable time with the customer.
Do less non-value adding work
Together with the customer management team, we developed a transformation tool in inorigo® that provided a comprehensive overview of all processes, activities, time spent, organizations and IT systems involved in the sales process. With all this information gathered in one place – inorigo® – the analysis was a simple task and enabled our customer to take the right decisions on where to minimize the non-value adding work.
Efficient IT usage
By having all information gathered and connected in one place, they could get a clear view of how their IT systems were used revealing redundant systems and blind spots where efficient IT support was lacking.
Increased sales at the same cost
By analyzing the efficiency and reducing the non-value adding work, 30% greater sales capacity at the same cost was achieved.
Our turn-key and tailored solutions – based on the inorigo® platform
To become successful in today's business environment you need to work hands-on with your ideas about the future. Based on our experience, our solutions will provide a solid foundation for creating the right decision and create the right values for you customers.

5 Ramadan Essentials
Mine (and many others) favorite month has arrived – Ramadan. I always feel unprepared for this month, but as it starts, the blessings start to kick in, fasting becomes easier, and the spiritual development that comes with it continues to grow and remind me the true purpose of this month. Of course, as much as I love it, it can be difficult. As Refinery29 stated, "Between strengthening our faith, asking for forgiveness, and dealing with the logistics of daily fasting, the holiday can take up a lot of time and energy." I have a few essentials that keep me grounded in places ranging from spirituality to the simplicity of keeping up physical energy for the long fasts.
1. Podcast
This is something I've been doing for a while, but listening makes the feeling of ramadan so much more ingrained into me. Qalam Institute's podcast, encounters many topics ranging from the purification of the heart to rights of companionship. In a society that bombards us with endless information and media, and many of us are filled with stress and anxiety, feeling a sense of calm can be hard to reach. But whether you're driving in your car, or just sitting in bed and need to plug your headphones in, their podcast series is a great way to further spiritual maturity.
2. A Water Bottle (Duh.)
I know this sounds blatantly obvious but it's serious. I've had days where I've passed out due to lack of water during my fast, because one glass during Suhoor isn't enough, trust me. I absolutely love my stainless steel water bottle from the brand S'well - as it's a more sustainable option. (because why wouldn't you want to stay hydrated– and help the environment?) I carry mine with me from iftar, to taraweeh prayer, and to suhoor. Chug Chug Chug.
3. Wholesome Snack
As much as I love grabbing some of my mom's mini samosas as a nightly snack, it can drain my energy and defeat the purpose of the fast. If you're not properly fueled, it'll be difficult to perform all of your Ramadan rituals at best. (I'm not saying you can't have any - that would be torture.) But it's important to be mindful on what's best for you. To keep my energy levels high, I keep RX bars on me to snack on at the mosque. My favorite has to be chocolate sea salt, which contains 3 egg whites, 6 almonds, 4 cashews, 2 dates and most importantly.....NO B.S
Another coveted favorite is smoothies, because who doesn't want an easy to make drink that will keep them energized all day? (No one.) My recent favorite is The Fitnest's Chocolate Date Smoothie Recipe, which you can find here.
4. Skincare
During Ramadan, our routine obviously changes - and it isn't surprising that the sleep schedules, summer heat, and changed diet choices can affect our skin by making it dry, dull, and more prone to breaking out. Of course, this month is about taking care of our souls, and the direct focus isn't personal appearance, but that doesn't mean to also neglect everything else, as taking care of our skin does have an effect on our overall health and personal hygiene. I use a couple products ranging from Vitamin C and facial creams to keep my skin hydrated and refreshed by Eid.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream
This isn't an everyday product for me because I do have oily skin, but in this month where my skin starts to feel extremely dry, I could use the extra hydration. I use it at night, and it's texture is soft and sinks right into your skin, leaving you to wake up with a fresh face.
Drunk Elephant Vitamin C Serum
What's worse than dry skin? Dull skin. This product is a savior, as it helps combat dullness, and skin texture. It's a staple in my daytime routine, and the price is a little up there at Sephora, but a good dupe is The Ordinary's vitamin C serum.
Mario Badescu Facial Spray
Just because we cant drink water ourselves, doesn't mean our skin can't use a little mid-day refresher. This spray, which is around 7 dollars at Ulta is perfect to give me a little pick me up when the fast is getting to me.
5. Gratitude Journal
According to a study by researchers from the University of Minnesota and the University of Florida, having participants write down a list of positive events at the close of a day — and why the events made them happy — lowered their self-reported stress levels and gave them a greater sense of calm at night.We all face different struggles, and it can be hard to find things to be thankful for. But putting our hearts into faith, and finding the beauty in life's hardest moments, can be a powerful tool in spiritual development. It's difficult at first to maintain, but as you continue it becomes a part of you routine. Keeping a consistent activity of focusing on the good, rather than the bad, and writing it down ends up serving as almost an antidote for negative emotion.
I wish you all a very blessed Ramadan – filled with blessings, ease, and prosperity.

A recent study suggests that trying to talk on the phone and shop simultaneously does not make for successful shopping. While the study focused on how retailers might be able to reduce consumers' stress levels and therefore be better at multitasking while shopping (and, presumably, buy more), we have a different idea: When shopping, just shop. In many stores, you're already bombarded by hundreds of items, and sometimes also music and bright lights. Resist the urge to squeeze a call in, reply to a colleague's email, or text a friend an emoji-filled birthday message. Take a deep breath, and stay focused on the task at hand. Mindful shopping can help you shop wisely — buying only what you planned to buy and therefore limiting impulse purchases.

Fears about possible repercussions and a lack of awareness about their rights contributes to the relatively low reporting of violence against women in Kandahar province, according to legal experts and women's rights activists at a UNAMA-supported workshop.
The workshop in Afghanistan's south was jointly organized by the Afghanistan Independent Bar Association and UNAMA's field office in the southern city to raise awareness of women's rights. Participants included court-related officials and judges, representatives of provincial departments, members of civil society and women's rights activists.
Participants pointed out that while the number of cases registered with legal institutions in Kandahar is less than in other provinces, anecdotal evidence suggests cases of violence against women are widespread in Kandahar province.
Other key topics discussed included the need for greater protection of women from violence, legal action against perpetrators of violence and civil remedies available to women victims of domestic violence.
Participants identified lack of awareness among women about their rights, enshrined in the country's laws, as another key impediment to relatively low levels of registration of cases of violence against women.
The workshop follows the release in April of the UN report Justice through the eyes of Afghan women which called for access to justice for women victims of violence in Afghanistan to be strengthened.
Afghanistan's law on Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW)—enacted in August 2009 through a Presidential decree – criminalizes 22 acts of violence against women, including child and forced marriages, rape and beating, and specifies punishment for perpetrators.

Italian restaurant Stuzzi to open new deli and wine cafe in Leeds
A popular Harrogate restaurant is to open a new site in Leeds city centre.

They will be officially open to the public from Thursday February 21 at 5pm.

Have you seen some of the old homes in Sydney? These houses hold a certain appeal to them, a charm that you will not find anywhere else. It is as if the houses have their own personalities and they are giving you a glimpse of what the time was like when they were newly built. In fact, modern houses would get inspiration from old house styles like the huge windows at the living room or the long winding corridors.
Indeed, being able to purchase and live in an old house is something that you can flaunt. However, it is quite difficult to maintain the integrity of the house. As much as you would like to keep the old-world charm, you just cannot neglect signs that the structure is too old. For this reason, you would have to do home improvements, specifically, refurbishing your home.
What is refurbishing?
Refurbishing is more than just replacing antique entrances with bi-fold doors. It is a kind of renovation and redecoration that specifically services older structures like buildings and homes. The process of refurbishing your home will include repainting, upgrading elements of the house that are still sturdy, modernising and altering structures that are weak. This may also include retrofitting, which means installing or adding new features that did not come with the original design, like a heating and cooling system.
Challenges of refurbishing an old home
Outdated materials
One of the biggest challenges with purchasing a house with unique architectural styles is that some of the materials used to build it may not be available anymore. This is especially true for houses that are more than 50 years old; building it followed different constructions codes and best practices. You cannot just install sturdier and more modern materials on structures that are old; you would have to check whether they are compatible with each other. One wrong move and the structure itself could collapse because it did not jive well with modern techniques. Not to mention, if you want to retain its old-world fashion, you would have to make aesthetic decisions as well. Choosing aluminum windows in rooms that are woodsy in design may not be a good choice.
Some of the materials used are dangerous
Not only are the materials outdated, they could also be unsafe. There is a huge possibility that the paint used for the house is made of lead and that you will find asbestos in ceilings and the flooring. If you get exposed to these chemicals for a long time, it will be harmful to your health. Additionally, old electrical wires can be dangerous to the house (because old homes are easily flammable) and yourself. The best thing to do is to hire a professional to check the safety hazards and have them fixed.
Old homes have undergone countless improvements
It is natural to find an old home that has undergone at least four or five different renovations. Each owner probably had the same idea as you: update some of its features without ruining the antique vibe. While the upgrades would mean that you do not have to worry so much about outdated materials, the aesthetics might be a little problematic. With a professional designer, see if they can come up with a design plan that can work around those old renovations. Otherwise, you might have to renovate the design completely, adding your name to the long list of owners who will give the house an upgrade.
With all of these things considered, it seems maintaining and renovating an old house might be a bit expensive. But all you need to do is to consult with professionals who can help you set a budget. You do not need to rush into the project, you can choose to renovate one part at a time. Refurbishing old houses can be a fun project to have; you just need to follow your plans strictly to make it work.
