Project name: Electronic Manifest (eManifest)
eManifest is a major transformative initiative and part of the overall measures the Government of Canada is putting in place to enhance the safety and security of Canadians as well as international trade while streamlining cross-border processes. When fully implemented, eManifest will require carriers, freight forwarders, and importers in all modes of transportation to electronically transmit advance commercial information (ACI) to the CBSA within prescribed mode-specific time frames.
Project outcomes
- Enhance CBSA's capacity to provide a pre-arrival risk determination of goods arriving to Canada.
- Improve the efficiency of administering pre-arrival determinations by using an improved risk assessment capability.
- Provide the CBSA with the ability to conduct more effective enforcement activities.
- Enable the CBSA to provide faster, more efficient frontline processing for legitimate commercial trade.
Industrial benefits
- Enhanced prosperity: eManifest will contribute to a strong economy by facilitating the flow of low-risk trade in a high-volume, time-sensitive, trans-border environment.
- Enhanced security: eManifest will use sophisticated tools and technology and rigorous risk assessment systems to interdict threats prior to their arrival at the border.
- Streamlined border processing: eManifest will minimize the processing required at the border, streamline the clearance process and reduce border congestion.
- Consistency of application: eManifest will expand the existing requirements for marine and air carriers to those in the highway and rail environments, consistently applying risk assessment across all modes of transportation relative to CBSA requirements.
- Reduced costs of compliance: To the greatest extent possible, eManifest will develop system requirements using recognized international and North American standards.
- Enhanced systems performance: CBSA will make enhancements to its information technology infrastructure that will improve system performance and reliability.
- Improved communication on status of shipments/document through new and enhanced notification to trade chain partners.

- Deployment 3: Automated Risk Assessment of High Risk Commodities; will allow the National Targeting Centre to use the eManifest Automated Risk Assessment system to identifying importations of high risk commodities (e.g. dual use goods, precursor chemicals) in all modes of transportation. Implemented in March 2015.
- Deployment 4A: Notification system that advises Trade Chain Partners (TCPs) when their eManifest has been received and processed by the CBSA (January 2016).
- Deployment 4B: Completion of the Automated Risk Assessment and Targeting system, which provides the ability to screen and target high-risk shipments (September 2016).
- Deployment 6A: First in a series of Performance Reports that will support measurement of program effectiveness (October 2016)
- Deployment 5: Border processing system that will capture Passenger History and integrate with the National Targeting Centre to close the loop on shipments referred for exam (March 2017).
- Implementation of user training and business transformation plans in order to support the CBSA and trade chain partners through the transition to the new systems (ongoing).
Progress report and explanation of variances
The Treasury Board approved eManifest project authority of $415 million.
The eManifest project plan is tracking deliverables and milestones against a revised project plan approved in June 2014. The project is to be completed by March 2017 within the approved project authority.
Project name: CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management (CARM)
The CARM project will modernize the systems and processes that support the assessment and collection of revenue from importers, and for reporting on revenue information and trade data. CARM will support a number of business improvements needed to address inefficiencies with current systems and processes and also meet key Government of Canada objectives for "red tape" reduction and regulatory reform.
When fully implemented, CARM will provide the CBSA with a modernized financial management regime focused on providing client-based services and processes, including an accrual system of accounting to ensure CBSA's compliance with the Government of Canada's Financial Information System. CARM will additionally facilitate its capacity to sustain a control-based audit and meet the requirements under the Treasury Board Secretariat's (TBS) Policy on Internal Controls.
It plans to modernize and reduce administrative burdens by the very way it interacts with its clients through automation and the development of smart tools for both clients and CBSA employees to use. It will remove administrative burdens associated with business reporting of trade information and improve transparency, predictability, accountability and overall performance. Furthermore, CARM will develop new assessment processes and tools to modernize the CBSA's revenue management and trade programs.
Implementing CARM will address the following business needs in support of CBSA and government-wide priorities and plans:
- Improve accounting and reporting on importer revenues and trade information – CARM will improve the way the Agency assesses, collects and reports on duties and taxes from importers;
- Replace aging revenue and cash management systems – CARM will replace several antiquated and failure-prone legacy revenue and commercial systems;
- Modernize trade administration, monitoring and control – CARM will modernize tariff, origin, valuation, anti-dumping and countervailing program activities that support the accurate assessment of taxes and other revenue owed to the GC;
- Improve trade program management efficiencies – CARM will improve efficiencies in the assessment and collection of trade revenues by reengineering, harmonizing and streamlining business processes;
- Improve service delivery within the trade community – Service excellence is a key priority of the CBSA. CARM will implement trade service standards to improve the Agency's interactions with the trade community to ensure they receive fair, accurate, accessible, efficient and timely border services; and
- Simplify trade business processes – CARM will support key priorities and objectives announced in the Government's Economic Action Plan 2012. CARM will harmonize the CBSA's reporting and accounting processes with those of the United States (U.S.) Customs and Border Protection as part of the Beyond the Border Action Plan. Throughout CARM implementation, the CBSA will assess opportunities to improve efficiencies in the administration of trade policies and programs and increase the competitiveness of Canadian businesses through easier trade flows and streamlined regulatory compliance with the U.S.
The CARM project is included in the TBS oversight portfolio of major Information Technology (IT) enabled projects.CARM is dependent on, or has linkages to, the CBSA's eManifest Project and the Beyond the Border Action Plan.Elements common to eManifest and CARM, i.e. identification and authentication, information warehouse, and data acquisition and notification will be used to maximize economies of scale and minimize duplication of effort. CARM will leverage the enterprise eService Portal, being developed under the Beyond the Border Action Plan and will harmonize and streamline the CBSA's revenue accounting and reporting processes.
Project outcomes
- Transparent, accountable and responsive reporting of trade and revenue information by implementing changes to the Agency's accounting practices and systems to produce fully auditable financial statements, increase accountability and improve asset stewardship controls. Beneficiaries include Canadians, the Government of Canada, Canadian provinces, and the trade community.
- Timely, accurate and complete assessment and collection of importer duties and taxes by streamlining and automating commercial processes and replacing aging systems. Accurate assessment and reporting of revenues and trade data will support Government of Canada policy development. Beneficiaries include Canadians, the Government of Canada and Canadian provinces.
- Fair, accessible and responsive service delivery for commercial importers through the establishment of a Business Simplification Initiative (BSI) to improve the clarity and efficiency of commercial processes and programs.

- Industry Day - Completed May 2015
- Invitation to Qualify Phase - Completed June 2016
- Review and Refine Requirements Phase - Started July 2016
- Request for Proposal Phase - Starts November 2016
CARM Phase 3
On approval from TB, CARM - working in partnership with PSPC - will complete the CARM Smart Procurement, and then, with the selected vendor partner, proceed with design and implementation of the remaining CARM capabilities.
Will continue until March 2020
- CARM Smart Procurement Contract Award - 2017–18
- Implementation of Remaining CARM Capabilities – March 2020
Progress report and explanation of variances
- On June 17, 2010, the TB approved the ARL project, which had an estimated cost of $31.0 million.
- On December 8, 2011, the TB approved the CARM project, which had an indicative cost of $340.5 million, and Expenditure Authority of $43.7 million.
- On October 9, 2014, TB granted amended and consolidated CARM and ARL Project Authority at total indicative cost of $371.5 million and further Expenditure Authority of $73.0 million for the direction and execution of Phase 2 of the project. Total Expenditure Authority to date for the consolidated CARM and ARL projects is $147.8 million.
- The ARL development and CARM project definition phases were delayed due to CBSA resource constraints and the re-alignment of priorities for the combined CARM and ARL projects.
- To address the CBSA's lack of capacity and capability to deliver such a large and complex project, the Agency conducted a Sourcing Assessment. The result is that the CBSA is in the process of procuring a Systems Integrator to complete the development, test and deployment of the ARL system. It is also initiating a Collaborative Procurement Solutions Approach to develop an external partnering arrangement for the design, development and deployment of the remaining CARM capabilities.
- In October 2014, TB granted amended and consolidated CARM and ARL Project and Expenditure Authorities for the execution of Phase 2 of the project. This included implementation of the first release of CARM in three sub-releases employing the services of a Systems Integrator, and initiation of a collaborative procurement to develop an external partnering arrangement for the implementation of the remaining CARM capabilities.
- Subsequent to TB approval in October 2014, the Systems Integrator vendor contract award was delayed by three months, slipping to January 2015 and delaying the deployment date for CARM Release 1C ARL to January 2016. Release 1C ARL was deployed in January 2016 and is operational.
- Subsequent to TB approval in October 2014, the CARM Smart Procurement process has been impacted by multiple issues resulting in an overall delay of twelve months. The Invitation to Qualify Phase was recently completed and the Review and Refine Requirements Phase started on plan. No further delays are expected.
- The project remains on track to be completed by March 31, 2020 and is expected to be completed within its approved Project Authority of $371.5M.

Commencement signifies not only the completion of a level of education, but the beginning of the adventure of life, for most young people – a chance to fly under their own power. For that special grad, this "study" in elegance and grace will likely elicit admiration and appreciation. Two tiers in the most refined shade of pink serve as the foundation, each ringed with a strand of shiny black beads. A stunning damask pattern in lacquer black ornaments the lower tier, while a black graduation mortarboard rests upon the top tier. A silky cord, denoting rank or achievement drapes down the side, and a rolled-up "sheepskin" rests on the bottom layer, tied up in a dainty and shiny black bow.Get a Quote

An aging Russian warplane piloted by the Iraqi air force accidentally dropped a bomb on a Baghdad residential neighborhood on Monday, killing or injuring over a dozen people.
Evidently the jet was involved in airstrikes against ISIS targets when one of its bombs failed to detach from the plane, due to a mechanical failure. While the plane was en route back to the Rasheed air base, the bomb suddenly dropped and hit three houses, killing at least five people, according to the Baghdad police. Some sources, including Sky News, put the death toll at seven, plus ten or eleven injuries. Women and children were reportedly included among the casualties.
The Iraqi air fleet is not in great shape. "Iraq received Sukhoi Su-25 jets from Russia and Iran last year as it sought to bolster its fledgling air force to combat the Islamic State jihadist group, which overran large parts of the country," Sky News reports. "The Su-25s are designed for ground attack missions, but Iraq's Sukhoi fleet is made up of ageing planes that have seen heavy use as Baghdad's forces battle to push the jihadists back."
As quoted by NBC News, a spokesman for the Iraqi military said the pilot of the plane was "considered one of the best in the country." A full investigation of the incident has been promised.
A local taxi driver offered a very different opinion, growling, "I cannot imagine how such stupid pilots are given the chance to fly and kill innocent people." Another local resident cried, "Instead of targeting ISIS terrorists, our government targeted its people."
This is not the first grave error by Iraqi pilots in the war against ISIS. In October, supplies– including food, water, and ammunition– were inadvertently dropped on ISIS positions instead of Iraqi units desperate for the supplies. At the time, Iraqi officials complained about having too many young and inexperienced pilots in their ranks.
The ability of the Iraqi military to defeat ISIS, with expensive training and equipment provided by America and her allies, is key to the Iraqi war strategy. As the outraged reactions from local residents demonstrate, faith in the Iraqi armed forces and government is running perilously low among citizens.

National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month: What Progress Has Been Made?
by Lisa DiFalco
As many are aware, obesity is an epidemic in the United States and even abroad. What is even more startling is the effect that the American Western diet has had on the waistlines and self-esteem of youth. Those who are overweight or obese as children are likely to develop into overweight adults and are at higher risk of developing weight-related health conditions. As September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, welcome news is out that shows that the rate of childhood obesity is beginning to slow in specific communities. Researchers and health professionals are coming together with the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) to show their support and find new ways to accelerate progress in the reduction of childhood obesity. Health care providers, case workers, behavior analysts, patients and their families can benefit from integrated efforts of experts across fields of study and new resources now available. Understand the childhood obesity issue and new advances in the fight.
Problems Associated With Childhood Obesity
In addition to carrying around excessive weight, being overweight or obese as a child can lead to a number of health problems. Research has shown links between obesity in children and teenagers and health problems including:
- Sleep apnea- a sleep disorder whereby sleeping children repeatedly stop and start breathing as they sleep;
- Asthma- there is a greater potential for overweight and obese children to also have this condition;
- Type 2 diabetes- a chronic condition affecting how sugar or glucose is consumed in the body. A sedentary lifestyle and obesity are significant risk factors;
- Heart disease- the buildup of plaque and narrowing of arteries can increase the risk of stroke or heart attack; and
- Social discrimination- children may develop low self-esteem and feelings of depression from teasing or bullying from their peers.
According to Let's Move, children and teenagers that are obese have risk factors including:
- Abnormal glucose tolerance;
- High cholesterol levels; and
- High blood pressure.
These risk factors all raise the risk for a child to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD). In addition, children that are obese are more likely than their slimmer counterparts to become an obese adult. In a sample size group of overweight children and teens from 5 to 17 years of age, nearly 60 percent had a minimum of one CVD risk factor. Approximately 25 percent of the children deemed overweight showed two or more such risk factors. This is a concern for overweight children and their families as it relates to a child's long-term health.
Overweight and obese children can also have difficulty in the classroom. According to the Mayo Clinic, overweight children can experience more anxiety and less adept social skills than slimmer peers. These problems can cause overweight children to either:
- Act out in the classroom; or
- Socially withdraw.
Social and emotional health of young children and teenagers may be affected by becoming overweight or obese. Such children often become the focal point of classroom teasing and bullying. This can interfere in the development of positive relationships with their peers and hinder their focus in the classroom environment.
A Positive Trend Emerges
New research is beginning to show a potential decline in the rate of childhood obesity in some communities. As childhood obesity is a significant issue, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) came together to create the National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR). The mission of NCCOR is to:
"Improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and application of childhood obesity research through enhanced coordination and collaboration."
The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity (NCCOR) urges health care professionals and partners to help show their support and add their efforts to the positive momentum against this current issue affecting our vulnerable youth. Learn more about the ways NCCOR is making strides against childhood obesity.
NCCOR gathers experts from many perspectives to examine the issue. NCCOR was instrumental in bringing together a diverse group of experts in a March workshop to explore innovation across disciplines, as applied to behavioral design, in order to foster healthy eating and active living. In addition, others lent their expertise on youth energy expenditure to collect new data in regards to youth MET values. The efforts of these experts and NCCOR resulted in a supplement to the Journal of Physical Activity and Health that highlighted findings from 17 papers. Readers gained valuable insights on the types of physical activities children and youth participate in.
NCCOR explores emerging issues. NCCOR has investigated a number of topics significant to obesity researchers, families, and the health care community. One of the most interesting was the "drivers of childhood obesity declines." NCCOR presented sessions on potential U.S. and international strategies to decrease childhood obesity through Connect & Explore at the Society for Behavioral Medicine this past March.
NCCOR is making it easy to find out more about childhood obesity for researchers. Research tools and resources, maintained by NCCOR, offer researchers the ability to review and compare various surveillance systems and measures as they relate to childhood obesity research. In addition to the Youth Energy Expenditure tool set to launch in 2017, NCCOR provides the following free, online resources:
- Registry of Studies;
- Measures Registry; and
- The Catalogue of Surveillance Systems.
NCCOR enables researchers from diverse disciplines to gather data on the latest findings on childhood obesity and continue their efforts to provide free and useful tools for exploration.
Health care professionals and behavioral analysts are only some of the people that can benefit from the efforts of NCCOR and their partners. Findings can significantly impact our understanding of the factors directly related to childhood obesity and improve our approach to combating childhood obesity in local communities and for those we serve.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan 24) – The US and French leaders discussed the disputes between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi government and agreed that those differences must be resolved through negotiations.
The White House on Monday issued a statement explaining that US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron had spoken by phone and discussed relations between Erbil and Baghdad.
Macron and Trump "agreed on the need for the Iraqi government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to resolve their differences through dialogue," the statement said.
Macron on Saturday received a Kurdistan Region delegation led by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani at the Élysée Palace.
The French President called for national reconciliation and "constructive dialogue" between Erbil and Baghdad to resolve their differences within the framework of the Iraqi constitution.
Macron is the first Western head of state to meet with the Kurdish leadership since the Oct 16 assault on Kirkuk and other disputed areas, carried out by Iraqi security forces, in conjunction with Iranian-backed militias.
France has long-standing ties to the Kurds, dating back to the 1980s and the presidency of Francois Mitterrand.
By contrast, the US has left involvement in any talks between Erbil and Baghdad to relatively low-ranking State Department officials.
The White House statement represented the first time that Trump, himself, has endorsed the need for a peaceful resolution of the disputes between Erbil and Baghdad.
The White House statement also explained that the two leaders had discussed "the path to peace in the Middle East"— i.e. an Arab-Israeli peace, what Trump calls "the ultimate deal."
Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is leading that effort in coordination with Riyadh, which he visited in late October and where he met Saudi Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Salman.
Kushner, 36, is close to the 32-year old crown prince, as the New York Times reported on Sunday. Two weeks after Kushner's visit, Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, also traveled to Saudi Arabia and meet with Salman.
Salman presented Abbas a plan for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement that was so favorable to Israel it "alarmed" the Palestinian president, while rumors about it have "roiled the region," the Times said.
The proposed Palestinian state would consist of "non-contiguous parts of the West Bank," according to the Times. Most Israeli settlements would remain; East Jerusalem would not be the Palestinians' capital; and there would be no right of return.
An advisor to the French president told the Times that France has its own concerns about the plan and wanted clarification from Washington.
Following Macron's discussion with Trump, his office issued a statement, saying that he had "expressed his concern over the possibility that the United States would unilaterally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."

I have this indescribable passion for photographing families in their own environments, at home. To me, it's the most beautiful place on earth. Even if you might think it's not perfect, it is. It's the place where your family creates the best memories, feels most authentic, and comfortable, wouldn't you agree?
This is why in 2018 I will be encouraging the families I work with to think about sessions at home. Whether it's in your back yard, on your front steps or gathering somewhere on your lawn, think about being home. I promise these images and moments captured will be treasured more than you will ever know. It's not only documenting your family, but it's also documenting your family's history. Maybe you will live there forever, or maybe someday you will move, either way you will always have those sweet images to look back to and share with your family through the years.
If the idea of using your home as your backdrop grabs at your heart strings and resonates with you the way it does with me, let's talk. I would love to hear from you! I am now booking family sessions weekday evenings beginning in late April 2018. Please email me for session details at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HH wax melts- 2 oz. shot pots
Heather's Hues Wax Melts are completely vegan and cruelty-free! They're made from 100% soy wax and have an excellent scent throw. I'm extremely proud with how these have turned out and I can't stop using them in my home! They come in a variety of colors and scents and are decorated with glitter because sparkly is always better! (If you prefer no glitter, please specify in the notes)
This listing is for the 2 ounce shot pots and you can choose from a multitude of available scents! If you can't decide, you can select "surprise me" and I'll pick for you! There is also a separate listing for 1 ounce shot pots and clamshells which weigh approximately 3 ounces.
PLEASE NOTE: HH Wax Melts may feel softer than others because I use 100% pure soy wax and a large amount of high-quality fragrance and/or essential oils for maximum fragrance output. Soy wax melts/candle can "frost" which means they appear lighter in color in certain spots. This does NOT mean anything is wrong with your product or affect it in any way. It actually confirms that your wax melt is produced from 100% soy wax. If you have any questions about your HH Wax Melts, please contact me via email at firstname.lastname@example.com
USAGE: Place HH Wax Melt in an electric or tea-light wax warmer to melt. Always follow the directions of your wax warmer and never leave warming wax unattended. You can use the whole melt or break it into smaller pieces. HH Wax Melts produce an incredible scent throw but the intensity depends on the size of the room, air flow, and your warmer's size/wattage. Also, each package is labeled with the date that the wax melt was made. As the wax "cures," the scent throw will become stronger. Some scents are naturally stronger than others.
CLEAN UP: Once your wax is no longer fragrant, it is time for a new melt! The easiest way I've found to remove the old wax is to place a few cotton balls in the warm wax and let them soak it up. Another way is to allow the warmer and the wax to cool completely. You can then place the warmer in the freezer for a few moments and you should be able to pop the wax right out. After either clean up method, you can wipe out or wash out the wax warmer with a little soap and water before using a new melt.

All of Heather's Hues polishes are vegan, cruelty-free, and 5-free. This means that they do NOT contain 5 of the harsh toxic chemicals that many mainstream polishes do. The 5 nasty chemicals that are NOT in H.H. polishes are DBP, toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, and camphor.
The following ingredients are in all Heather's Hues polishes:
Nitrocelluose, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol. Each bottle also contains two stainless steel mixing balls.
HH polishes may also include FDA approved colorants, PET glitters, mica and/or flakies, silica, calcium sodium silicate, aluminum, tin oxide, iron oxides, FD&C lakes, D&c lakes, iron blue, manganese violet, titanium dioxide, ferric ferrocyanide, ultramarines; Holographic polishes may contain holo dust, a Spectraflair alternative, or Spectraflair.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS OF A SPECIFIC POLISH, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME! I can be reached by direct message on my Facebook and Instagram as well as by email. My email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
I always use the highest quality cosmetic-grade ingredients from reputable suppliers for my polishes. Each and every polish is hand-mixed by me personally in a clean and sanitary environment. Almost every polish is made to order. I usually only mix large batches of polish a day or two prior to new collection releases.
Indie polishes are quite different from mainstream polishes. They are made and bottled with love! You'll find there is many more beautiful options when it comes to types of indie polishes. There are also some helpful hints that apply to indie polishes. First, you should always let your bottles of polish reach room temperature before opening them (especially in cold weather months). Next, please ALWAYS use 2 or more coats of a quality basecoat before applying polishes. ***DUE TO THE HIGH PIGMENTATION OF SOME POLISH COLORS, NAIL STAINING MAY OCCUR*** (This is why using a quality basecoat is so important). Also, you may find it helpful to set your bottle of polish upside down for about 10 minutes before use, then roll it around in your hands. ***SOME OF THE HEAVIER GLITTERS MAY SETTLE TO THE BOTTTOM OF THE BOTTLE*** This is why the upside-down trick is helpful...it will reduce the amount of fishing for glitters, especially the heavy glitters. A quality topcoat is also recommended to help deter wear to your polish and smooth out large glitters. Finally, please feel free to offer feedback to me. As an indie maker, I love to hear what my customers love, don't like, would like more/less of!! You can always email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, message me through Etsy, on Facebook at Heather's Hues or my Facebook group Heather's HueTpies, and on Instagram @heathers_hues.....please don't hesitate to contact me with questions or concerns!!

Structure of the Studies:Master's degree programme in Law and Information Society is a two-year program, consisting of a total 120 ECTS credits. Each student takes the compulsory courses and a selection of optional courses. The optional courses will be decided in based on the student's previous studies and personal interest.
The Master's Degree Programme in Law and Information Society (LIS) is a two-year Programme that provides the students with the essential insights, capabilities and intellectual tools to analyse the legal problems of the information society. It concentrates on international and European levels of regulation and their interaction with national laws. The Programme offers a unique combination of private and public law (e.g. IP and European constitutional law) and interdisciplinary perspectives (e.g. economic analysis of law and modern legal theory).
The LIS programme is based on a mix of advanced research-oriented perspectives and more practically-oriented lectures and exercises, thus providing the students with a balanced combination of theoretical insights and practical capabilities. Developing one's skills in legal analysis, critical thinking, research and writing is important for lawyers in demanding positions and legal scholars alike. The Programme creates a solid basis for doctoral studies in law. The language of instruction is English.
The applicant must have completed a lower university degree equivalent to a Finnish Bachelor's degree in a University. Most of the credits in the degree should be from legal studies. The applicant must be fluent in English.
About the degree:
After completing the LIS program students will be awarded a Master's degree.
Students with the Finnish Bachelor of Laws (oikeusnotaari, ON or rättsnotarie, RN) degree and those who have passed an EEA aptitude test for the Bachelor of Laws level will be awarded the Master of Laws (oikeustieteen maisteri, OTM) degree. Students with other than above mentioned Bachelor's degree will be awarded the Master of International and Comparative Law degree (kansainvälisen ja vertailevan oikeustieteen maisteri in Finnish). Completion of this degree does not qualify the graduate for positions which require a Finnish Master of Laws degree (OTM).

Ralph Nader Quotes About CountryQuotes about: Country
Ninety-seven percent of the CEOs of the Fortune 500 are white men, and what they do radiates all the way down into poor areas and cities around our country. Like predatory lending and misallocation of municipal services. These guys get municipal service, poor areas don't. So they run the economy into the ground, and who suffers the most? The poor pay more and they die earlier.
For anybody here who's very worried about domestic priorities, just consider we have created, with this war on terrorism, more fighters, more countries embroiled. They're learning new weapons. They're learning new techniques. They're coming here in social media. The lone wolf thing is expanding. And once that blows here, then forget about domestic priorities.
What's happening is that the will of the people, the declared opinion of the people, who want more agendas, more ideas, more sensible redirections reforms in our country, are being thwarted by the mechanism of keeping third-party candidates, who are on more than enough States theoretically to get an electoral vote majority, to keep them off the mass media, the commercial media, to keep them off the debates.
We have the most prolonged adolescence in the history of mankind. There is no other society that requires so many years to pass before people are grown up ... Adolescence is nurtured and prolonged by educational processes and by industry that has found a bonanza in embracing the adolescent population and fortifying 'adolescent values.' This prolongation of adolescence robs the country of the population group having the most risk takers, and the highest ideals.
The threats are coming to this country, which will, of course, increase the massive industry known as the anti-terrorism industry, and crush our civil liberties and civil rights, And it's devouring our priorities here in communities all over the country which are in such disrepair and are so neglected in terms of public works and public services.
We have two parties who are basically hijacking our country for their corporate paymasters. And if we focus on 535 members of Congress, that's not all that many, we're going to see a fast turnaround. So focus all your concerns, all the information, the kind of agenda the Green Party has. Turn it right on your Senators and Representatives.

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here today with a very personal project - this is a memorial album I made for our son Blake - born still in September 2012. As his 5 year anniversary comes around, I thought that I should finish this project off. When I saw the call for a 'nursery rhymes' theme, it was just perfect! Given this is a project I started some time ago, I have a variety of photos to show you of some finished pages, some instructions (and where to find them) and the last couple of pages I completed. There are of course more personal pages and photographs within the album that are not shown here.
I bought this album kit from Hope Packages - check out their HQ Facebook page here. They have amazing kits for cards and scrapbook layouts which are perfect to then add your photos to or give as a lovely gift. The instructions for these kits (and a few of the characters from my album) look like this. The handouts provide an outline of all the punches required to create each character and cardstock colours for future reference. The kits all come pre punched which is fantastic if you dont have the range of punches needed.
For this project you will also need Helmar Acid Free Glue, your choice of photos and an album to put your completed pages in. Following the instructions above, follow step by step to assemble the characters together. Then put the pages together using patterned paper or cardstock as your base. For each page the nursery rhyme that is represented in the punch art piece is typed and adhered using the Helmar Acid Free Glue, as can be seen below.
Here are some of the other pages within the album;
I hope you enjoyed this project and thankyou for allowing me to share such a special project with you all.

We've spent the last few days in La Isleta and Las Negras in the Cabo de Gato National Park. How beautiful is this area?! No high rises, lots of young dreadlocked hippie types, and a very chilled out atmosphere. So chilled out that our Dickie battery died and we couldn't start the engine but thanks to Graham doing something clever with the leisure and engine batteries connecting up, all we had to do was wait for the sun to charge the solar panels and we were able to head off. If you get the chance to come to this area please do, the beaches are stunning. We caught a few para gliders readying themselves for a fly in La Isleta - a lovely site.
|para gliders at La Isleta
|spot the Dickie - near Mojacar
We're now at the Cabo de Gato campsite for a night. Catching up on washing and electricity is our main objective but it's also nice to hear British people speaking slowly and loudly to 'foreigners' to make them understand what they are saying.
We had some sad news last night that a great friend of Graham's, Pearl O'Neill, has passed away. Thanks to our friends in Boscastle for getting the message through to us. Our sympathies are with her husband Tony and all her friends and family.

It's Friday again; the weekend seems to come around faster now than a repeat bout of nits in spring.
Is it true that as we get older time speeds up, whereas when we're kids it seems to stretch limitless ahead of us? Do you remember how it felt to imagine you had all the time in the world?
Sadly we don't, so this weekend, let's try to make the most of the time we have:
Go to bed earlier, get up earlier. Nothing much happens after 10pm anyway except bad tv, chocolate and too much to drink.
Hug someone you love. Have you noticed how time stands still when you're hugging, how your breathing slows?
Chew each mouthful. Really savour and taste the love involved in the preparation of your meal.
Meditate. Even for five minutes. Try Buddhify from the app store – it's my go-to (almost) free, quirky mind-sanctuary.
Make love. Even if you don't feel like it to start with, you'll get into it once you get going.
Pick flowers. Arrange them in a jam jar. It's free and gorgeous.
Dance. Like a demon. Crank those tunes up and boogie in the kitchen.
If you can't do any of those, simply look in the mirror and mutter "we've got this." Because you have.
Happy weekend!

Sorry this update is so long in coming. Came home from my appointment to a major snow storm and no power. Now, power is back on, kids are playing in the snow and I have a couple of minutes to update you.
So...in summary...for Laura it was a good day all around. The doctor is pleased that, after taking out the tumors and doing an examine of the outside of the organs in her abdominal cavity (including "washing" them and dong the pathology on the cells from that washing), no evidence of cancer was found. She is feeling pretty good and doesn't have to see him again for 6 weeks. Great news!
For me...it's a mixed bag. My tumor markers are good and the spots in my lungs are the same. The problem is my bones. My scans (both CT and bone) show more "light spots." One explanation is that this is a progression of my disease (i.e., the Tamoxifen isn't working any longer). The other explanation is that, no, the medicine is working, but this is the last bit of tumor flare that first appeared back in June and, thus, it's actually bony turnover or evidence that my bones are healing. My doctor's gut feel is that it's tumor flare. However, she doesn't want to keep me on Tamoxifen any longer in case she's wrong. The good news is that she has recommended that I go on another, just-as-effective-if-not-more-effective-than Tamoxifen anti-estrogen treatment (Femora). This means that I continue with basically the same treatment...one pill a day...hot flashes...but NO CHEMO. I will start taking this daily pill tonight and will continue for probably 2 months before I have to be scanned again.
So...the best medicine has to offer is still an incomplete picture.
In some ways that's super frustrating and in other ways it just makes it even more clear that there still is only One in whom it makes any sense to place my hope, my trust and my future. Oh that I can keep my eyes focused on Him...
Thanks for your prayers today. As hard as it was for Chad and I to wait 2 hours (1+ of those hours were actually in the exam room after hearing that, "the report from my scans isn't great, but Dr. O'Connor is consulting with the radiologists to see how she's going to interpret these results...she'll be in with you as soon as she can." How hard was that?!?) it was just fabulous to know that we were not "alone" in that room.
Love to you all

Disclosure: This post was made possible by iConnect and Kelley Blue Book. I was provided compensation to facilitate this post, but all opinions are 100% mine.
There is no doubt that as the calendar year came to a close, you started to think about what was in store for you and your family in 2016. As for me, I made a few new year resolutions including finding more time to just do me. As a business owner, scientist, Mom, and wife, time is certainly of the essence so in order to achieve my new year resolution, streamlining daily tasks is paramount.
Buying a new car can definitely be a time drain. Between researching, test driving, deliberating and financing, you can be caught in a never-ending loop for weeks. Fortunately, Kelley Blue Book can help! Not only is the book itself an invaluable resource for determining the best value for your trade in, but the "Best Buy Awards" can help you find the perfect car for your budget and needs as vehicles are given awards in 12 major categories.
Designed as a service to the American new-car buyer, the Best Buy Awards recognize the best of all available 2016 model-year vehicles completely eliminating hours of footwork for you, the consumer. The awards are the culmination of a year-long regimen of expert vehicle evaluation and testing of nearly every new vehicle available in America (over 300 tested each year!), along with analysis of a broad swath of vehicle-related data, including pricing/transaction prices, 5-Year Cost-to-Own information (which includes depreciation, insurance, maintenance, financing, fuel, fees and taxes for new cars), consumer reviews and ratings, and vehicle sales information.
Knowing that the winners were thoroughly tested by experts definitely helps to narrow down the list of potential purchases significantly cutting the time I will need to spend in local showrooms. If you are looking for a new car in 2016, make sure you check out the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award winners included in the infographic below. Happy shopping!

Badminton Becomes a Paralympic Sport12 February, 2015
7 October 2014
BWF's vision to be part of the Paralympic Games was realised when the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) announced in Berlin on 7 October 2014, that badminton was included as one of the first 16 sports selected for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games
In making the announcement, Sir Philip Craven, IPC President singled out badminton and said "I would like to congratulate the 16 sports that we have already confirmed will be included in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, in particular badminton, who after missing out four years ago, submitted a very strong application".
"The IPC looks forward to working with the Badminton World Federation over the coming years to manage their smooth transition into the 2020 sports programme".
One Sport – One Team was the theme for the technical application submitted in July 2014 and the bid presentation in Berlin to the IPC Governing Board 5 October 2014. The theme highlighted that badminton is a sport for all, a sport for everyone and BWF is the one body governing for both badminton and para-badminton.
BWF had been unsuccessful in its previous application in 2010 to be a part of the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games. Following that application, the BWF Council committed to a range of strategic goals. The key focuses 2010 – 2014 were:
- ointegrating para-badminton into the BWF governance structure and creating a Council position - Vice President Para-Badminton.
- oemploying staff to manage the day to day activities for para-badminton.
- orevamping the classification system / regulations and the competition regulations.
- obuilding the player base and participation in at least three regions.
- oenhancing the international competition structure.
- otraining and developing people in the system.
There are six Sport Classes in para-badminton and eligible players with a physical impairment are classified into one of these classes for competition. Para-badminton athletes compete in men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles and mixed doubles.
- WH 1-Wheelchair Class 1
- WH 2-Wheelchair Class 2
- SL 3-Standing Lower Class 3
- SL 4-Standing Lower Class 4
- SU 5-Standing Upper Class 5
- SS 6-Short Stature Class 6

Hi, I just search Google for me and I found this, https://launchpad.ubuntu.com/people/adamm/ Now, I never signed up to be a maintainer for Ubuntu. I don't understand why I am part of "people of Ubuntu" or why I am listed as a maintainer of any package on Ubuntu's website? I know Ubuntu is using my packages as part of their distribution. I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem is the use of my name and my resources (time) in association with Ubuntu *without* my permission. Well, at least on pages like, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hoary/misc/mysql-query-browser They have "Adam Majer is responsible for this Debian package" with a link to Debian's QA. This reference I find acceptable, but better wording would be "Adam Majer is responsible for the Debian version of this package". Then I also found, http://ubuntu.linux-server.org/mysql-query-browser/mysql-query-browser_1.1.4-1ubuntu2.dsc adamm@mira:/tmp$ gpg --verify mysql-query-browser_1.1.4-1ubuntu2.dsc gpg: Signature made Tue 19 Apr 2005 10:06:56 AM CDT using DSA key ID C098EFA8 gpg: please do a --check-trustdb gpg: Good signature from "firstname.lastname@example.com <firstname.lastname@example.com>" gpg: aka "shermann <email@example.com>" gpg: aka "Stephan Hermann <email@example.com>" gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Primary key fingerprint: 3D8B 5138 0852 DA7A B83F DCCB C189 E733 C098 EFA8 This package was modified from the Debian package (probably as simple as just rebuilding the automake files because they were quite old). I don't understand how I could remain as the maintainer of such a package. It is my belief that if the source code is changed, then the Maintainer field should be changed as well. In Debian we do this all the time (NMUs), but Ubuntu is not Debian and the upload was not to Debian. If there are problems with the Ubuntu package I cannot fix it yet the problem will be attributed to me (as I'm the "maintainer"). Anyway, the bottom line is, 1. I'm a Debian Developer and chose to be associated with Debian 2. I have not chosen or gave permission to be associated with modified/unmodified packages of other distributions (that may or may not derive from Debian). What do other DDs think about this problem (or is it even a problem?)? Personally, I believe Ubuntu must either change the Maintainer field of all packages such that it points to Ubuntu Developers *or* get permission to keep the Maintainer field as is from the Debian package maintainer. - Adam PS. This is not a troll against Ubuntu. PPS. This is not like writing software where the author has a copyright on the source code and have it displayed. There is a fundamental difference between "copyright holder" and "maintainer", so please don't confuse the two.

Monday Folder 8.24.15
This Friday, August 28th, is the PTA-sponsored Back to School Picnic from 5:00-8:30 p.m. PTA will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, and beverages. Each family is asked to bring a side dish. There will be fun activities for all ages including a bouncy castle and the Rolling Video Games trailer! We hope to see you there!
Many families have already started recording their volunteer hours for the year! Thank you! Please read the Volunteer Information Letter on the CPA website for more information about how to record your volunteer hours,Friday Volunteer Work Night dates, and how to earn non-uniform certificates for volunteer hours.
A message for middle school parents: A warm welcome to new and returning middle school students. In an effort to better prepare our students, all information will be coming home with students directly from their individual classes, not in Monday folders. Last Monday, all students received a new planner to use all year long. This will be an excellent source of communication for parents as a way to check in with what is happening on a daily basis. For example, sixth grade parents could ask your students about Outdoor Lab paperwork that was sent home and can also be found on our website.

When he drops something, or when he falls, or when he hears a loud something.
He is so adorable! I love hearing 'uh-oh' at that stage...so cute!
It's So sad to see him grow so fast. Uh-oh is my favorite word to. I really wish I lived closer! Give him a snuggle for me.

How to do base conversion using Perl6
How to convert a number to Base 36:

say :36("9E8"); # It's 12176
How to convert a number to Base 36:

Perl 6 uses UTF-8 by default. Here are some references and Perl6 examples using Unicode characters and valid Unicode operators.
Question: How to print the name of an Unicode character?
Anwer: Use the "uniname" operator
say uniname("π"); # GREEK SMALL LETTER PI
say "π".uniname;
Question: How can I print an Unicode character using it's numerical code ?
Prints Unicode representation of hexadecimal "263A":
say "\x263a"; # prints Smiling Face ☺
or the same using base 10 number:
say chr(9786); # prints Smiling Face ☺
that's because 263A in Hexa is 9786 in Decimal, see next question.
Question: How can I convert hexa to decimal and decimal to hexa ?
say 9786.base(16); # 263A. It will convert the number to base 16
say :16("263A"); # 9786, it's the reverse operation, back to base 10 (from base 16).
Question: How can I print a list of all Unicode characters?
Answer: The following script can be used to print the list of all Unicode names and characters:
say "CHARACTER (CODE NUMBER) CODE NAME";
for (80..120) -> $code {
if ($code < 55296 || $code > 57343) { # Invalid code numbers
say $code.chr ~ " ($code) " ~ $code.uniname;
Code examples:
say "⁂".uniname; # It will print "ASTERISM"
say "\c[SKULL]"; # It will print "💀"
say "π".ord; # 960. ord method returns the codepoint number of the letter (grapheme)
say chr(960); # Prints π
say ("α".."ω").list; # Prints Greek alphabet
say π³; # same as say pi**3
say (1,2,3,4) ∩ (2,4,6,8); # intersection is set(2,4)
See the Unicode Table with interesting unicode characters and symbols that can be copied and used in your Perl 6 programs.
List of useful Unicode characters in Perl 6:
Perl 6 Unicode Constants - Pi and Tau (π , τ) greek letters:
π = 3.14159265358979: say pi
τ = 6.28318530717959: same as 2*pi or tau
Math operators and Superscripts:
¹ = power of 1: **1
² = power of two (Raise to the second power): **2
³ = power of three (Raise to the third power): **3
⁻¹ :Raise to negative first power: **-1
⁻²: Raise to the negative second power: **-2
⁻³: Raise to the negative third power: **-3
∈ = is an element of: (elem)
∉ = is not an element of: !(elem)
∪ = union: (|)
∩ = intersection: (&)
⊆ = subset: (<=)
⊈ = not a subset: !(<=)

Euler's identity in Perl 6:
> say e**(pi*i)+1
or you can use Unicode Pi (π) character:
> say e**(π * i)+1;
It prints "0+1.22464679914735e-16i", that is almost "0": 0.000000000000000122464679914735i
It is not exact 0 because the PI number is an approximation.

The information about the original Camila Logo states that Larry Wall requested a Perl 6 logo that with the following features:
Shrinkable to textual icon
Shrinkable to graphical icon
And may have attached "P6" wings on it. Should discourage misogyny. Sterility is not on the list of requirements. "I want something with gut appeal on the order of Tux". "The new logo must make Larry at least as happy as Camelia does."
This is my suggestion for a Perl 6 logo. It's a "P-V-6" butterfly (Perl Version 6):
(Logo suggestion created by Rodrigo de Almeida Siqueira - @rsiqueira)
The "Perl 6" font is "Adobe Caslon Pro", it's not the same as "ITC Garamond" that was used to write "Perl" in the "Programming Perl" book cover.
The butterfly wings (letter "P" and number "6") were created with a rotated number "6" using font "Charlemagne Std".
The blue color inside the wings is rgb code: #6699cc
Like it or not?
Suggestions accepted!
Other images that I like that could be used as inspiration for a Perl6 Logo:

I had to install DBI to use DBD::SQLite. To install DBI using cygwin type:
install DBI
I got an error of gcc4 and g++4 when trying to install DBI because there are no gcc-4 and g++4 anymore. They are replaced by gcc.exe and g++.exe. So you need to make a sym link to the old filenames if you get the error:
make: gcc-4: Command not found
make: g++-4: Command not found
ln -s /usr/bin/gcc.exe /usr/bin/gcc-4.exe
ln -s /usr/bin/g++.exe /usr/bin/g++-4.exe
After this, the DBI module could be installed and DBD::SQLite was also installed using CPAN.
The full error that I got because of missing gcc-4:
make: gcc-4: Command not found
make: g++-4: Command not found

These cute little DIY fall peg doll fairies are a lot easier to make than they look. It only took my daughter and myself about an hour to make them from start to finish.
They make cute autumn home decor and look wonderful displayed on windowsills, shelves, nature tables and in fairy gardens.
These little autumn fairy dolls are also perfect for pretend play. My daughter hasn't stopped playing with them since we made them. We have also made a set of winter fairies and will be making spring and summer ones this year!

DIY Fall Peg Doll Fairies
DIY Fall Peg Doll Fairies: Materials
- Peg dolls [There are enough peg dolls in this set to make these fairies, Rainbow Peg Dolls, Monarch Butterfly Peg Dolls, and Peg doll Boats.]
- Acrylic Paint [Gold, Orange, Espresso, and Plum.]
- Paint Brush(s)
- Foam brush (In brush set above)
- Mod Podge (Optional)
- Paint Pens (Or you can use this incredible nib dipped in paint)
- Felt
- Sewing Scissors (easy to cut felt)
- Glue or glue gun with glue sticks
- Gold star sequins (optional)
DIY Fall Peg Doll Fairies: Directions
Step 1 – Paint Bodies
If you are allowing a younger child to help you make these like I did tape off the heads with painters tape. It doesn't matter if it pulls a little paint off. You will touch up the neck when you paint the heads.
Step 2 – Paint Heads
- Look at the head and decide which part you want to be the face.
- Paint a line from shoulder to shoulder. Don't worry if it's messy.
- Paint back of head.
- Square off head by painting across the forehead.
- Touch up and/or paint neck and any other areas that need cleaning up around the face.
Step 3 – Paint Faces
- Use a red paint pen to make a mouth.
- Mark 2 sets of 2 dots for eyes.
- Connect each set of 2 dots with a U to make the eyes.
- Alternatively, you can just dot the eyes, and you can use black instead of brown. (Check out DIY Rainbow Peg Dolls for to learn how to do a different face.)
Step 4 – Mod Podge to Seal and protect (Optional)
Use foam a brush to apply Mod Podge to the entire doll. It goes on white and dries clear.
Step 5 – Cut out wings
- Cut out 2 inch by 1 1/2 inch rectangles of felt to match the colors of the peg dolls. [We used dark brown, gold, purple, and orange.]
- Fold felt rectangle in half lengthwise.
- Mark off a 1/2-inch section in the middle.
- Cut from top mark to top opposite corner, and from bottom mark to bottom opposite corner.
- Open wings and place thumb in the middle. Make the wing curve in by cutting from the bottom corner in toward thumb. Once you reach the middle cut away from thumb toward the top corner. Repeat on the other side.
Step 6 – Glue on Wings and Star Sequins
- Place a drop of glue in the middle of the wings. (Using a glue gun makes this a lot quicker and easier because the glue dries instantly. My daughter wanted to help and she was not ready for glue guns back when we first made these so we used craft glue.)
- Place peg dolls upper back on the glue.
- Glue a star sequin to the middle of each fairy's forehead.
These cute little fall peg doll fairies are surprisingly easy to make. All you need is a few simple materials and a spare hour. They are a wonderful addition to nature tables, fairy gardens, and are a lovely way to decorate for fall. They are also great to use for pretend play.

Sugar Baby Charm
The difference between the Just Gemstones & the Sugar Baby Charms is the added accent of the small gold filled textured loop that attaches the gemstone to the chain. It adds a little extra flare and will look precious layered with other charms. The stone sizes and shapes may vary, we have birthstones and other beautiful stones listed below please make your selections, choose as many as you want. The wire wrapping is made large enough so that the gems can slide over our chains which are 1.1 to 1.5mm in thickness, if you are adding to your own necklace it usually depends on the width of your clasp. The gem sizes vary between approximately 4mm to 8mm in size. You can also view the Sugar Baby Series and Trifecta necklace combinations to see what other gemstones may look like.

cannot verify business / Address issue
April 2017
I have a business that is outdoors, open 8 months out of the year. Because it is outdoors in a park, there is not address that the verification code can be mailed to. The option to get a verification via phone does not come up as an option. How do I verify ownership of my google business listing without a mailing address?
cannot verify business / Address issue
April 2017
What kind of business is it? The Google My Business Guidelines say that any business is ineligible for a listing that:
Is an ongoing service, class, or meeting at a location that you don't own or have the authority to represent.
There are plenty of other kinds of businesses that are a little more of a gray area that often have verified listings (farmers markets for example).
If you do qualify for a listing, you'll need to request a postcard (even if it can't be delivered to your address) wait 14 days, and then contact GMB support through one of these 3 methods:

Film Synopsis:
Chaz, a tattooed, pierced San Franciscan hipster, is convinced he's overweight. The latest evidence? He caught his date feeling out his "fat waist." Yes, despite his lanky frame and low body weight, Chaz is afflicted with the most difficult condition to treat: he's soft in the middle. He's Skinnyfat.
The traumatic event sets him on a plan to lose weight until he has hipbones "sharp enough to trim hedges!" Joined by his flighty friend Davy (played by Evan Johnson), Chaz stumbles through gym workouts, crash dieting, tweaker yoga, force vomiting, and even a trip to the plastic surgeon! Along the way, he learns that physical ideals can change with the next pop culture trend, and even the revered six pack may not be enough to secure the most important love of all—his own.
With razor sharp humor, writer-director Andy Bydalek creates a hilarious portrait of image-obsessed gay culture and shows what can happen when body-consciousness becomes-body fixation.
