Application no. 1509/02
by Larisa TATISHVILI
against Russia
The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 20 January 2005 as a Chamber composed of:
Mr C.L. Rozakis, President,
Mr P. Lorenzen,
Mrs N. Vajić,
Mrs S. Botoucharova,
Mr A. Kovler,
Mr K. Hajiyev,
Mr S.E. Jebens, judges,
and Mr S. Nielsen, Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 21 December 2001,
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government and the observations in reply submitted by the applicant,
Having regard to the comments submitted by the Human Rights Centre "Memorial",
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
The applicant, Ms Larisa Artemovna Tatishvili, was born in 1939 in Tbilisi, Georgia. She continues to hold citizenship of the former USSR. The applicant lives in Moscow and is represented before the Court by Mr E. Bobrov, a lawyer practising in Moscow. The respondent Government are represented by Mr P. Laptev, Representative of the Russian Federation at the European Court of Human Rights.
A. The circumstances of the case
The facts of the case, as submitted by the parties, may be summarised as follows.
1. Refusal of the applicant's application for residence registration
On 25 December 2000 the applicant applied to the passports department at the "Filevskiy Park" police station in Moscow (паспортный стол ОВД «Филевский парк» г. Москвы) for residence registration. She produced her USSR passport, a consent form signed by the flat-owner and certified by the housing maintenance authority, an application form for residence registration, a document showing payment of housing maintenance dues and an extract from the residents' list. The applicant indicates that, apart from the passport and application form for residence registration, the other documents were not required by law and were requested only as a matter of administrative convenience.
The director of the passport department refused to accept the applicant's application for residence registration and the accompanying documents. He orally informed the applicant that she was refused because she was not a relative of the flat-owner. The applicant submits that the existence of a family relationship is not required by law for residence registration.
The applicant insisted on a written refusal. She was given a printed form on which a checkmark was placed next to the statement "failed to provide a complete set of documents". The allegedly missing documents were not specified.
2. Court proceedings concerning the refusal
(a) Before the first-instance court
On 15 January 2001 the applicant challenged the police refusal to register her place of residence before the Dorogomilovskiy District Court of Moscow. She submitted that there had been no legal basis for a restriction of her right to obtain residence registration in the flat, expressly provided to her for that purpose by its owner, and that the registration authorities had no discretion in granting residence registration once the appropriate documents had been produced, as had been done. She asked the court to declare the refusal unlawful and to order that she be registered as resident in the flat.
The case was assigned to Judge L. At a preliminary meeting with the judge, she told the applicant to join the flat-owner to her claim as an interested party. According to the applicant, the judge also opined that "the matter look[ed] suspicious because the residence registration [was] sought by a person of Caucasian ethnic origin". The applicant retorted that there was no such ethnic origin, to which the judge replied that she should "go outside and look around".
On 12 February 2001 the director of the passport department filed his observations on the applicant's claim. He contended that the applicant did not have Russian citizenship and that she had come originally from Georgia. He continued that Georgian nationals were required to have an appropriate visa to enter Russia, which the applicant could not produce, and that, in any event, the registration of foreign nationals was a matter for the Ministry of the Interior's local visas departments.
On 13 February 2001 the Dorogomilovskiy District Court of Moscow ruled on the applicant's claim. A representative of the flat-owner stated before the court that the applicant had been living in the flat since 2000 and that the owner had no objections to her registration. The court dismissed the applicant's claim, providing two reasons for its decision.
First, with reference to the provisions of the Civil and Housing Codes regulating joining of family members and other persons to existing tenancy agreements and emphasising the absence of a family relationship between the applicant and the flat owner, the court ruled that the matter should be examined not as a challenge to the State official's refusal to grant registration, but rather as a civil action for determination of the applicant's right to move into the flat.
Secondly, the court held that the applicant had failed to demonstrate her Russian nationality or to confirm her intention of obtaining it and pointed out that certain unspecified treaties between Russia and Georgia provided for visa-based exchanges.
The judgment concluded as follows:
"Given that the applicant had failed to produce information confirming her right to move into the flat in question, information on [her] nationality and the lawfulness of [her] entry into the Russian Federation, the court accordingly dismissed her claim."
On 5 March 2001 the Dorogomilovskiy District Court of Moscow confirmed certain amendments, submitted by the applicant's representative, to the minutes of the hearing of 13 February. In particular, the minutes were to reflect the applicant's statements about the non-applicability of municipal tenancy provisions to her situation, given that the flat had been in private ownership, and about the flat-owner's consent to her residence.
(b) Request for clarification of the first-instance judgment
On 16 March 2001 the applicant requested the Dorogomilovskiy District Court to clarify whether the judgment of 13 February should be construed as exempting her from the obligation to seek residence registration.
On 12 April 2001 the Dorogomilovskiy District Court refused her application for clarification, noting that it concerned an issue falling outside the subject matter of the original claim.
On 26 April 2001 the Civil Section of the Moscow City Court upheld the refusal of the District Court.
(c) Before the appeal court
On 19 March 2001 the applicant's representative filed an appeal against the judgment of 13 February 2001. He submitted, in particular, that the first-instance court had incorrectly referred to the applicant's Georgian nationality and to a visa requirement for her entry into the Russian Federation, given that the applicant had never held Georgian nationality and that, in any event, the residence regulations applied uniformly to all persons lawfully residing within the Russian Federation, irrespective of their nationality. He indicated that the first-instance court had failed to advance any justification for the restriction on the applicant's right to choose her residence. He also contended that the first-instance court's reliance on tenancy provisions had been invalid because the flat-owner had had clear title to the flat and there could be no dispute as to the applicant's right to move in, since she had had the flat-owner's explicit consent.
On 2 August 2001 the Civil Section of the Moscow City Court upheld the judgment of 13 February 2001. The court reiterated the first-instance court's conclusion that the applicant's claim had to be dismissed because she had failed to prove her Russian nationality or her intention to obtain it and because she had failed to provide any documents confirming her right to move into the flat in question. The court did not address the arguments advanced by the applicant's representative in the grounds of appeal.
On 25 October 2001 a deputy President of the Moscow City Court refused the application for supervisory review submitted by the applicant's representative on her behalf.
B. Relevant domestic law and practice
1. Constitution of the Russian Federation of 12 December 1993
Article 19 provides for the equality of all before the law and courts of law, and equality of rights and liberties.
Article 27 provides that everyone lawfully within the territory of the Russian Federation shall have the right to move freely and choose his or her place of stay or residence.
Article 62 § 3 provides that foreign nationals and stateless persons shall have in the Russian Federation the same rights and obligations as Russian nationals unless otherwise provided in a federal law or an international treaty to which the Russian Federation is a party.
2. Law on Russian nationality and the status of citizens of the former USSR
At the material time the issues related to Russian nationality were governed by the Law on Nationality of the Russian Federation (no. 1948-I of 28 November 1991, as amended on 6 February 1995), which provided that all citizens of the former USSR who were permanently resident in Russia on 6 February 1992 (the date of entry into force of the law) automatically obtained Russian nationality unless they expressed their wish to the contrary before 6 February 1993. The basis for establishing whether a person was permanently resident within Russia was the propiska stamp (internal residence registration) in his or her USSR passport. Section 18 (g) of the law provided for a simplified procedure ("by way of registration") for obtaining Russian nationality for citizens of the former USSR who arrived in Russia after 6 February 1992 and expressed their wish to become Russian nationals before 31 December 2000.
Under the powers vested in him by the law, on 10 April 1992 the President of the Russian Federation adopted the Regulation on the Procedure for Consideration of Issues of Nationality of the Russian Federation (decree no. 386, the "1992 Regulation"). Section II(5) stated that the notion of "a citizen of the former USSR" applied only to those individuals who did not obtain the nationality of one of the newly independent states, which had previously been members of the USSR. The same section stipulated that after 31 December 2000 the citizens of the former USSR who had not obtained Russian or other nationality would be considered as stateless persons.
Until August 2002 the status of foreign nationals and stateless persons in the Russian Federation was regulated by the USSR Law on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals in the USSR (no. 5152-X of 24 June 1981, as amended on 15 August 1996, the "1981 USSR law"). By virtue of section 32 its provisions were likewise applicable to stateless persons. Section 5 drew the following distinction between "permanently resident" and "temporarily resident" foreign nationals (stateless persons):
"Foreign nationals may be permanently resident in the USSR provided that they have authorisation and a residence permit issued by a department of the interior.
Foreign nationals who are present in the USSR on another legal basis shall be considered as temporarily resident in the USSR. They shall obtain registration of their travel passports (or replacement documents) in accordance with the established procedure and shall leave the USSR upon the expiry of the authorised term of temporary residence."
In implementation of the 1981 USSR Law, on 26 April 1991 the USSR Cabinet of Ministers adopted resolution no. 212, whereby it approved the Rules on the Stay of Foreign Nationals in the USSR ("the 1991 Rules"). Those rules also applied to stateless persons and described the procedures for entering and leaving Russia, obtaining documents for temporary residence and permanent residence, etc.
3. Visa requirements for Georgian nationals
On 9 October 1992 nine member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), including the Russian Federation, signed in Bishkek the Agreement on visa-free movement of citizens of member States of the Commonwealth of Independent States throughout their territory ("the Bishkek Agreement"). Georgia acceded to the Bishkek Agreement on 1 August 1995.
On 4 September 2000 the Russian Federation denounced the Bishkek Agreement as of 3 December 2000. In the absence of a bilateral agreement on visa-free exchanges between Russia and Georgia, Georgian nationals were required to apply for a Russian entry visa from 5 December 2000.
4. Regulations on residence registration
On 25 June 1993 Russia adopted a Law on the right of Russian citizens to liberty of movement and freedom to choose the place of temporary and permanent residence within the Russian Federation (no. 5242-I, the "1993 law"). Section 1 guaranteed the right of Russian nationals to liberty of movement and freedom to choose the place of residence, and extended the law's application to non-Russian nationals lawfully residing in Russian territory. Sections 3 and 7 required a person to apply for residence registration at a new address within seven days of moving. Section 8 contained an exhaustive list of territories where this right could be restricted (such as military settlements, environmental disaster zones, etc.) Finally, section 11 acknowledged the precedence of international treaties to which Russia is a party over the provisions of the Law.
In order to implement the 1993 law, on 17 July 1995 the Russian Government approved the Regulations for registration of temporary and permanent residence of Russian nationals (no. 713). By Government resolution no. 290 of 12 March 1997, the application of these Regulations was extended to former USSR citizens arriving from the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic states. Section 9 of the Regulations imposed a general duty to seek residence registration at any address where a person intended to stay for longer than ten days. The person was required to file an application for registration within three days of the move and to submit an identity document, an application form and a document showing the legal basis for residence at the indicated address (such as a rent contract or the consent of the flat-owner). Section 12 of the Regulations, as worded at the material time, provided that the registration could be refused if the applicant had not submitted written consent or had produced manifestly false documents; the list of grounds for the refusal was exhaustive.
On 2 February 1998 the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation struck down certain provisions of the Regulations as incompatible with the Russian Constitution. It ruled, in particular, that:
"...the registration authorities are only entitled to certify the freely expressed will of a citizen in his choice of... residence. This is why the registration system may not be permission-based and it shall not entail a restriction on the citizen's constitutional right to choose his place of... residence. Therefore the registration system in the sense compatible with the Russian Constitution is only a means... of counting people within the Russian Federation which is notice-based and reflects the fact of a citizen's stay at a place of his temporary or permanent residence."
The Constitutional Court emphasised that, upon presentation of an identity document and a document confirming the person's right to reside at the chosen address, the registration authority should have no discretion and should register the person concerned at the address indicated. The requirement to submit any additional document might lead to "paralysis of a citizen's rights". On that ground the Constitutional Court ruled that the registration authorities were not entitled to verify the authenticity of the submitted documents or their compliance with the Russian laws and, accordingly, any such grounds for refusal were unconstitutional.
On 14 August 2002 the Russian Government amended the Regulations and removed the provisions concerning the registration authorities' entitlement to refuse residence registration.
5. Penalties for violations of residence registration rules
On 9 July 1997 the Moscow Government passed a Law "on the conditions of residence in Moscow for foreign nationals who have the right to enter Russia without a visa (no. 33). The Law applied to foreign nationals from the CIS and to stateless persons. It required non-Russian nationals to apply for residence registration within three days of their arrival (if staying for longer than ten days). Section 10 of the Law provided that a non-Russian national residing in Moscow for more than three days without the appropriate residence registration was liable to a fine of up to RUR 500 (approximately EUR 20 in 2001) or, in the event of a repeated offence, up to RUR 2000 (EUR 80). The same penalty could be imposed on a flat-owner who permitted a non-Russian national to live in his or her premises without residence registration.
This Law was repealed on 18 September 2002 in connection with the entry into force of the Russian Code of Administrative Offences (no. 195-FZ of 30 December 2001). Section 19.15 of the Code provides that a person living without residence registration is liable to a fine of up to 100 RUR (EUR 4) and that flat-owners who tolerate tenants without residence registration may be fined up to 300 RUR (EUR 12).
6. Case-law of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation
On 19 March 2002 the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation heard case no. GKPI 01-1611, in which a Ukrainian national, G., sought a declaration of nullity of the provisions of the 1991 Rules (see above) in the part requiring foreign nationals, including those who, like himself, were lawfully resident in Russia without a visa and for an unlimited term, to obtain a residence permit as a condition for permanent residence registration. It dismissed the claim, finding, in particular, as follows:
"G.'s reliance on the fact that, as a person enjoying visa-free entry, he is lawfully present in the Russian Federation without any limit in time and that he is not required to obtain authorisation and a residence permit... in order to choose his place of residence within the Russian Federation, is not grounded in law. These facts demonstrate that, until he has obtained authorisation and a residence permit, he is temporarily resident in the Russian Federation, even if his stay is not limited in time...
Foreign nationals who are present in the Russian Federation on another legal basis and who are considered to be temporarily resident in the Russian Federation (section 5 § 2 of the [1981] USSR law) shall have the right to choose the place of temporary residence (section 3 § 1 of the [1993] Russian law) or the place of permanent residence in the Russian Federation in accordance with the procedure established in the [1991] Rules (upon obtaining authorisation and a residence permit)...
In this connection the court notes that the [1991] Rules contain no restrictions on the foreign national's right to choose the place of permanent residence in the Russian Federation; it agrees with the claimant that such restriction may only be established by a federal law."
C. Relevant Council of Europe documents
Resolution 1277 (2002) on honouring of obligations and commitments by the Russian Federation, adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe on 23 April 2002, noted in the relevant part as follows:
"8. However, the Assembly is concerned about a number of obligations and major commitments with which progress remains insufficient, and the honouring of which requires further action by the Russian authorities:
xii. whilst noting that the Russian federal authorities have achieved notable progress in abolishing the remains of the old propiska (internal registration) system, the Assembly regrets that restrictive registration requirements continue to be enforced, often in a discriminatory manner, against ethnic minorities. Therefore, the Assembly reiterates its call made in Recommendation 1544 (2001), in which it urged member states concerned 'to undertake a thorough review of national laws and policies with a view to eliminating any provisions which might impede the right to freedom of movement and choice of place of residence within internal borders'..."
1. The applicant complains under Article 3 of the Convention that the refusal by the Moscow police to grant her residence registration at her chosen address amounts to inhuman and degrading treatment, because she is living in constant fear of administrative sanctions or even arrest. She complains that without residence registration she cannot obtain employment, become an independent businessperson, claim her pension benefits, register a car or even have a notary public certify her signature. She submits that in September 2001 she applied for a mandatory medical insurance policy and was met with a refusal based on her failure to show residence registration in Moscow. This makes her situation very precarious because she suffers from diabetes and cannot obtain medical assistance from any State clinic without the mandatory medical insurance policy.
2. The applicant complains under Article 6 § 1 of the Convention that the first-instance judge demonstrated subjective bias, that the first-instance court substituted itself for the defendant (the registration authority) and protected the defendant's interests, that she was not notified of the hearing on her application for clarification or of the hearing before the appeal court concerning her appeal against the clarification refusal and, finally, that the appeal court did not address the merits of her arguments. The applicant complains under Article 13 of the Convention that the courts failed to apply the domestic laws correctly and, under Article 14 of the Convention, about discrimination against her on the ground of her ethnic origin.
1. The applicant complained under Article 3 of the Convention about the domestic authorities' refusal to certify her residence at the chosen address, which had substantially complicated her daily life and rendered uncertain her access to medical assistance. The Court considers that this complaint falls to be examined under Article 2 of Protocol No. 4, which reads in the relevant parts as follows:
"1. Everyone lawfully within the territory of a State shall, within that territory, have the right to liberty of movement and freedom to choose his residence.
3. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are in accordance with law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the maintenance of ordre public, for the prevention of crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
4. The rights set forth in paragraph 1 may also be subject, in particular areas, to restrictions imposed in accordance with law and justified by the public interest in a democratic society."
Arguments of the parties
The Government
The Government deny that there was an interference with the applicant's right to liberty of movement, claiming that her presence in the Russian Federation was not lawful. They submit that the applicant, who had arrived from Georgia, failed to take any steps to determine her nationality and to make her residence in Russia lawful, such as confirming her Georgian nationality or applying for Russian citizenship. They state that the applicant's situation was governed by the 1981 USSR Law on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals in the USSR and by the 1991 Rules on the Stay of Foreign Nationals in the USSR. Pursuant to sections 5 and 32 of the 1981 USSR law, the applicant, as a stateless person, should have obtained a residence permit from a department of the interior. The Government claim concurrently that, once entry visas had been introduced for Georgian nationals from 5 December 2000, the applicant could only be lawfully resident in Russia on 25 December 2000 if she had crossed the border with a valid Russian visa in her national passport. Finally, the Government contend that, as the applicant could not produce either a residence permit or an entry visa, her complaint is manifestly ill-founded.
The applicant
The applicant challenges the Government's arguments as mutually exclusive and inconsistent. She continues to hold citizenship of the former USSR and has never acquired Georgian nationality. Consequently, she could not obtain an entry visa as a Georgian national. In any event, she did not cross the Russian border in 2000 or subsequently. As to the Government's reliance on the 1981 USSR law and the 1991 Rules, section 1 of that law states that it did not apply to USSR citizens, which the applicant remained, and it was therefore not applicable to her. In fact, until a new Russian law on the Legal Status of Foreign Nationals was adopted on 25 June 2002, Russia had no legislation imposing an obligation on citizens of the former USSR to obtain residence permits as a condition of their lawful residence in Russia. It follows that at the material time the applicant was lawfully present in the Russian Federation and her complaint is well-founded. The applicant submits that residence registration is the main proof of residence in the Russian Federation and its absence has prevented her from exercising many rights, including access to medical assistance, social security, old-age pension, the right to use property, the right to marry, etc.
The third party
The Human Rights Centre "Memorial", a Russian non-governmental organisation, submits that at least after the adoption of Government resolution no. 290 of 12 March 1997 (see "Relevant domestic law" above) the conditions for enjoyment of liberty of movement across Russia were the same for Russian nationals and citizens of the former USSR, i.e. the very presence (even without registration at the place of residence) of citizens of the former USSR in Russia should have been considered as constituting lawful residence. Recognition of the status of citizens of the former USSR in the Russian Federation ceased to exist only on 31 December 2000. After that date they were to be considered as stateless persons and subjected to the same legal regime as foreign nationals.
The third party notes that before 1 November 2002 there had been no notion of temporary residence permits in Russian legislation, and registration at the permanent place of residence could not by its nature be regarded as such a permit. Failure to register at the place of residence could lead to a fine, but it did not affect the lawfulness of the residence of citizens of the former USSR in Russia per se.
The Court's assessment
The Court considers, in the light of the parties' submissions, that the complaint raises serious issues of fact and law under the Convention, the determination of which requires an examination of the merits. The Court concludes therefore that this complaint is not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 of the Convention. No other ground for declaring it inadmissible has been established.
2. The applicant complained under Articles 6 § 1, 13 and 14 of the Convention that the domestic courts had discriminated against her on account of her ethnic origin, that their findings had been arbitrary and contrary to the facts of the claim, that they had not applied the domestic laws correctly and that she had not been given an opportunity to take part in the proceedings concerning clarification of the hearing record. The Convention provisions relied on read as follows:
Article 6 § 1
"In the determination of his civil rights and obligations ..., everyone is entitled to a fair ... hearing ... by [a] ... tribunal ..."
Article 13
"Everyone whose rights and freedoms as set forth in [the] Convention are violated shall have an effective remedy before a national authority notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity."
Article 14
"The enjoyment of the rights and freedoms set forth in [the] Convention shall be secured without discrimination on any ground such as sex, race, colour, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, property, birth or other status."
Arguments of the parties
The Government
The Government submit that the proceedings were fair because the applicant and her representative took part in the hearings and put forward arguments in defence of her claim. There is no indication of any breach of the principle of equality of arms. The applicant and her representative were able to appeal the first-instance court's judgment to an appeal court and also to lodge an application for supervisory review. Those applications were duly examined and dismissed by reasoned decisions. Given that the applicant had no documents showing the lawfulness of her residence in Russia, there had been no discrimination against her on any ground whatsoever.
The applicant
The applicant submits that the proceedings were not fair in that the domestic courts based their decisions on a treaty between Russia and Georgia on visa-based exchanges which had never existed. The judges did not investigate whether she had ever crossed the Russian border and, consequently, whether she had been required to be in possession of an entry visa. In addition, notwithstanding the production by the flat-owner's representative of written consent to her moving into the flat, the courts insisted that her right to live in the flat was not sufficiently established. The judges misrepresented the facts with a view to dismissing her claim. The applicant also asserts that Judge L. held a personal prejudice against her because of her Georgian origins.
The Court's assessment
(a) Insofar as the applicant complained about discrimination against her in the domestic proceedings, the Court notes that she does not appear to have been prevented from challenging the allegedly prejudiced judge of the first-instance court and from raising this issue in her grounds of appeal. However, she has used neither remedy.
It follows that this part of the complaint must be rejected under Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies.
(b) Insofar as the applicant complained about arbitrary findings of the domestic courts which were irreconcilable with the factual submissions, about procedural irregularities and about the lack of effective remedies, the Court considers that this part of the complaint raises serious issues of fact and law under the Convention, the determination of which requires an examination of the merits. The Court concludes therefore that this complaint is not manifestly ill-founded within the meaning of Article 35 § 3 of the Convention. No other ground for declaring it inadmissible has been established.
For these reasons, the Court unanimously
Declares admissible, without prejudging the merits, the applicant's complaints about the denial of residence registration at the chosen address and about the proceedings on her claims;
Declares inadmissible the remainder of the application.

Calgary man with multiple sclerosis sold on tongue-tingler neural therapy
Patient Isaac Kohtakangas uses the PONS (Portable Neuromodulation Stimulator) device during a rehabilitation session in Calgary at Synaptic, Spinal Cord Injury and Neurological Rehabilitation Centre. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/Dave Chidley)
CALGARY -- Isaac Kohtakangas just cleared several hurdles to becoming more self-sufficient as he lives with multiple sclerosis.
The 38-year-old business intelligence analyst from Calgary has completed 14 weeks of neurological treatment at the city's Synaptic Spinal Cord Injury and Neuro Rehabilitation Centre.
The hurdles were literal — eight green barriers, about 15 centimetres off the ground, that Kohtakangas high stepped over with the use of two poles.
"It's less about leaning on (them) for support and more about just balancing myself so I'm upright," he said.
It wasn't something he could have done before he began therapy in August.
"It's definitely helped me with balance. I feel more confident and stable on my feet. I'm more aware of where my body is in space when I'm standing and walking, and I'm able to catch myself if I'm a little bit off," he said.
Navigating life is just simpler, he said.
"Getting in and out of the car is easier and being able to lift my legs up over the door edge, getting around in a restaurant ... between chairs and in tight spaces."
A device called PoNS — short for portable neuromodulation stimulator — sits on the surface of the tongue and delivers mild, high-frequency electrical impulses while a patient undergoes an intense regimen of daily physiotherapy. The hope is the tiny tingles lead to neuroplasticity and encourage new neural connections.
Clinics in Surrey, B.C., and in Montreal also offer the therapy.
'Like having homework every day'
Kohtakangas was diagnosed in 2011 with the autoimmune disease, which attacks myelin, the protective covering of the nerves, causing inflammation and often damage and disruption of nerve impulses.
He had to complete the last 12 weeks of the program at home, morning and night.
"I do not miss it. I dreaded PoNS for the amount of time that it involved. It was like having homework every day and it was never homework that I could put off until the next day. I had to do it that night. I had to do it in the morning."
The executive director of Synaptic said Kohtakangas has definitely improved.
"All of the functional measures we used at the beginning and measured through to the end have shown significant clinical improvement, so we're really excited for him," said Uyen Nguyel.
"Probably the biggest areas of improvements would be his balance and his co-ordination through his walking — even his walking speed and his endurance."
Therapy not cheap
Kohtakangas said the therapy isn't cheap. He had to pay $22,000 out of pocket, but since he no longer drives, he considered the cost the same as if he'd bought a car.
Some of the paces he was put through resembled dance steps.
"I was getting some kidding about that during the therapy," he laughed.
"I've done a little bit at home, some two-stepping a little bit ... I do miss dancing and I haven't done that for quite a while."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 15, 2019.

The coolest
Their wedding was like their love story: an unexpected crush, she is from Seville, he is Catalan. They met on a terrace in Seville when Albert was visiting the city and she was working as a waitress. And so love appeared!
A unique love like theirs deserved a wedding that created this idea of "crush", so we filled every place with an special detail. Inspired by a rustic atmosphere, the decoration was very simple and elegant.
There were two things that stood out in the wedding: the ceremony, very funny, officiated by her friends and of course, Azahara who was INCREDIBLE with her Rosa Clará dress, her red bouquet, a AMAZING headdress and her gloves. Just an unique look for an unique bride.
Hooray for a couple of prince and princess style but very contemporary!

Sickness absence can be anything from short term, where a member of staff is off work for a day or two, to long term, where a member of staff is off work for months or even years.
There can be many reasons behind a member of staff taking time off work for sickness, from stress to recovery time after an operation. The procedure you should adopt when a member of staff is off sick can vary considerably depending on the type of sickness, and your business will benefit from clear legal guidance.
Whether you are worried about general sickness absence, want to ensure you have a clear policy in place to tackle this issue or your business is currently having problems with a member of staff off sick, our practical advice can help.
Having a clear sickness absence policy in place can help your business when a member of staff becomes unwell. A set policy can help avoid claims of discrimination and also mean that workers know what to do, should they become unwell.
Whether you are concerned about one particular member of staff's sickness absence or you believe this to be a problem in your business generally, our advice can help handle this tricky area effectively and legally.
Our specialist employment team has extensive experience of advising employers, HR consultants and business owners about conducting sickness absence meetings, investigations, hearings and dismissals. Whatever the problem and steps necessary to resolve it, we will guide you through each step to ensure the best possible outcome for your business.
We also have a wealth of experience in reviewing, amending and drafting bespoke sickness absence policies. The clarity we bring will ultimately benefit your business and the employees alike.

Your Soul
Charisma can be learned
Nelson Mandela and Princess Diana had it. George Clooney also has it: that certain something - that special charisma that fascinates us: Charisma. We give charismatic people our full attention without knowing why. We listen with excitement to their words and feel connected to them. What is Charisma? Why are we not all perceived as charismatic?
First, we need to know that Charisma does not mean "who we are", but "how others see us". And that doesn't just depend on appearance. A special appearance and how it is felt by others begins with our thoughts. What we think about ourselves and our environment is reflected in our choice of words, voice and above all body language. This in turn affects how we are perceived by others: Am I often approached by strangers or am I the one who approaches people? Do I appear trustworthy? Some people seem to be born with a great charisma. They appear charismatic and are professionally and privately more successful than others without charisma. In fact, we can work on our charisma. The following tips will show you how to achieve more charisma:
1. Be self-confident.
People with charisma have a strong self-confidence and are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. They are not afraid to "touch".
Tip: Imagine what your strengths are. What you like about yourself. Ask friends and acquaintances about your effect. What they appreciate about you. With each realization you will gain self-confidence. Concentrate on your talents and promote them instead of focusing on your weaknesses. Overcome your shyness, e.g. by asking a stranger for the way. Avoid filler words like "actually" and make clear statements. Rhetoric seminars specifically train the expressiveness of the language. Pay attention to your body language: stand up straight, look with your opposite, do not cross your arms in front of your chest. With sport you strengthen your muscles and improve your posture.
2. Love yourself.
Accepting yourself and others forms the basis for a positive charisma.
Tip: Meet life with a smile and it will smile back. Try it out! Give yourself a smile in the bathroom mirror in the morning instead of critical looks. Continue to try to consciously replace negative thoughts with positive ones during the course of the day. This can be a bit unusual at first. If something goes wrong, try to recognise the positive and the chance of the situation.
3. Signal interest.
Anyone who is interested in others, asks questions, also has an interesting effect on others. Interest also means adjusting to different situations and people and behaving appropriately.
Tip: Be curious about people or situations and be surprised what you will discover. Try to be empathetic and get involved with your counterpart. It is important to find common topics with your conversation partner, to inspire him, to take a step back or to listen sensitively - just as the respective situation requires. It must be authentic, otherwise it seems artificial and leaves your conversation partner unimpressed.
4. Follow the inner path of life.
Often we let ourselves be influenced by others.
Tip: What do you really want? What gives you strength? Listen to yourself and trust your gut feeling. Plan your trip to Costa Rica, visit the photo course. Whatever it is, find it out and do it. It helps to visualize wishes, to imagine "how it would be if". The thought is "sown" and can now flourish further - according to the principle of self-fulfilling prophecy.
5. Keep moving.
Self-confident people approach something new openly.
Tip: Surely you know situations that one would like to avoid better, such as having a clarifying conversation. Use such unpleasant occasions to leave your "comfort zone" once a day, i.e. the safety area where you feel comfortable and do not have to exert yourself. You will feel a little uncomfortable, but the "small risks" make life more exciting and increase your charisma.
6. Express yourself.
Charismatics infect others with their passion.
They have strong emotions of their own and can empathise with the feelings of others.
Tip: What do you want to convey? Search in advance for the right words, gestures and accents. Are you inconspicuous? Show yourself, but stay authentic. This also applies to your clothing style. The more clearly you present yourself to your surroundings, the more lively and courageous you appear to others.
7. Take responsibility.
The outside cannot be changed, the personal attitude can.
Tip: If you are dissatisfied with a situation, consider what part you play in it and how you can change your perspective.

If you could use data to solve a global healthcare problem, what would stop you? If the data you needed was available on an open basis - and you could find the human resources - then the answer should be nothing. But if there was a high cost involved, the chance to stop the spread of a disease might get missed.
That is one very real example of how the future of data depends on multiple, interconnected forces which are often pulling in opposing directions. It emerged during the second day of the all-star, sell-out DataFest17 event run by The Data Lab in Edinburgh in March. With a focus on data for good, innovation and the ethics of data and technology, it offered some thought-provoking challenges to the prevailing mood that data will simply conquer all before it.
One of the engines of that optimism is the new access available to tools which, even five years ago, were inaccessible to most organisations. As Hilary Mason, founder of New Tork-based Fast Forward Labs, put it: "Innovation happens when something that was high value becomes cheap enough to play with." Falling costs for analytics have created the conditions for the current explosion of interest in data and its potential for society and business.
But if this momentum is to be maintained, there are three major questions that need to be answered and which emerged as themes across the day.
1. Mo data, mo money - or free for all?
Estimates for the economic benefit which data and analytics could deliver vary wildly, but generally start in the billions. Yet achieving that uplift requires the basic commodity of data to be available for analysis in order to add value. DataFest17 revealed a tension at the very heart of the new move towards data-enablement - whether monetising data will also lock it down and keep it in the hands of a few major players.
That was evident in the presentations given by UNICEF and Transport for London. For non-governmental organisations (NGOs), the use of mobile phone data to track where refugees are leaving and what direction they are heading in would allow NGOs to co-ordinate their aid efforts better and ensure resources are sent to the most effective locations. "It can actively save lives," said Natalia Adler, data, research and policy planning specialist, at UNICEF.
But it ran straight into the monetisation barrier when trying to tackle the spread of Aids in Sierra Leone. "We were asked for $3 million per week to get mobile data. The more data is monetised, the harder it is to get hold of for social good," said Adler. That is a shocking demand which seems hard to justify, not only on a cost basis but also because mobile networks already make anonymised data available for research purposes.
To encourage the release of data for good, UNICEF is a partner in a data collaborative which offers a framework with six different ways for organisations of all types to share data. "The data doesn't have to come to us," noted Adler. "You may have data that you don't know is critical, so come and talk."
One example she gave of how this works was a collaboration with Intel to use satellite imagery of the Sierra Nevada to understand water supply forecasts for California. Another was analysing the demand among young women for C-sections in Brazil, which has the highest level in the world. She said: "Give us the data and we will work out the solution."
By contrast, London's not-for-profit travel operation, Transport for London, adopted an open data strategy nearly ten years ago. "We took another look at what TfL is there to do. People see us as moving units of transport from A to B. We came up with the vision to keep London moving, growing and making life better. Through that lens, we approach our assets in a different way," said Phil Young, head of online, Transport for London.
TfL takes a 10- to 20-year view of how to achieve those goals - that is how long a major infrastructure project like Crossrail takes to plan and deliver. It also needs to keep an eye on the city's growing population and the rising expectations of its customers.
"We realised we need our informaton to be on other web sites, not just our own. We needed to push it out to football clubs, theatres, etc. We had created a service update app, then developers came to us with other ideas about how to present the information. That was when we moved from pre-packed to open data," said Young.
TfL was inspired by the BBC's approach to TV listings. It identified bus arrivals, journey planners, cycle docks, tube services and parking sensors which were delivered via APIs from 2009. "That led to hundreds of apps growing up around our servce." Historical tube station crowding data has recently been released and TfL is working on live crowding data. "We also know the time of a journey from any place to any other place in London," he said.
To help drive new products to market, TfL runs hackathons, incubators and accelerators and now has 11,000 registered developers, with 300 new sign-ups each month and 600 live apps. When Deloitte ran a calculation of the benefit and cost-savings which had been achieved from TfL's open data strategy as part of the Shakespeare Review in 2013, it came up with a range between £15 million and £58 million.
These examples demonstrate why the data explosion is sending organisations in opposing directions when deciding whether to monetise or open their data. For proponents of the first view, predictable cash in hand to deliver a return on high-cost investments is appealling. For open data advocates, it is the unexpected solutions which an eco-system of developers creates that has value. You pays yoru money (or not) and takes your choice.
2. Building ethics into technology and data
"What type of society do we want and how should technology support us?" That question was posed by Mandy Chessell, distinguished engineer and master inventor, IBM in the context of the data explosion. "The more we share data, the more we give permission," she noted. "You can say that technology is ethics-agnostic, but it does affect lives and choices."
Humans have circles of trust where friends and family are closest, while acquaintances and strangers are furthest from us. New devices and digital services start as strangers, but as they deliver value over time, it creates trust and they move into the inner circle.
But Chessell pointed out that, "those circles are getting very blurred because every aspect of life is on the same platform - work, family, self. Data from those different angles is being brought together to make decisons."
"How do we compartmentalise so information from one place doesn't interact with another? If a number of those services are under the same roof, it will build trust and the individual will perceive the value to have increased. But if the service providers overdoes it, they will lose value," said Chessell.
She put up a set of questions which technology developers should consider in order to keep on the right side of the ethical boundary. She also offered a prime example of the way something which looks like a neutral approach to help collect data and improve a service can rapidly come to be seen as creepy. Microsoft built a keystroke logger into Windows 10 with the intention of improving its autocorrection, spelling and language tools. But users see it as intrusive since it effectively records everything they are doing.
That led Richard Marshall, futurist at Gartner, to note: "Be careful - apply ethics before you make the technology available." Once something is released, the market will decide how it is perceived and it may be too late to shift the argument.
Gartner uses the term "digital humanism" to describe its approach. A company blog from 2015 explains: "Digital humanism stands in contrast to digital machinism - a view that sees the minimisation of human involvement through automation as the central focus of technology. This perspective is driven by the belief that technology is valuable when it allows people to spend less time on mundane, repetitive and inefficient tasks."
Mason provided a live example of the way technology can release humans from these burdens, leaving them able to pursue more value-adding tasks. She explained: "At one New York City bank, 80% of Sarbanes Oxley filings are being prepared using artificial intelligence and the regulator is parsing them using natural language processing, so there are no humans involved in four out of five transactions."
But the risk is always that technology becomes a binary option with ethical considerations left to one side. When US senators were asked about their attitude towards a proposed bombing mission, 30 Republicans voted yes and 36 Democrats said no. The problem for both political parties was that the country mentioned did not actually exist. "People won't hesitate to answer complex questions with yes or no answers. Humans hate complexity," said Adler. When it comes to ethics, things rapidly get complex which is why technology developers so often avoid confronting them. Whether that is sustainable was left as an open question.
3. Getting the people right
At UNICEF, as in many other organisations, "we are always looking for data scientists." But as Vicky Byrom, senior analytics consultant at Aquila Insight, said: "A growing number of people are entering data science, so why am I worried?"
For her, part of the problem is that the jobs which data scientsts are being asked to tackle come with built-in problems that should have been resolved before the scientists are brought in. Data quality is a perennial issue - one that costs the global economy $3 trillion annually according to Harvard Business Review - and which can see those big brains get bogged down and lose their focus and energy.
"Projects are starting with data, not with a question. There is a lack of connection between data people and the business," said Byrom. According to an O'Reilly data science survey in 2016, 2% of data scientists spend no time at all in meetings with the business, 24% spend one to three hours, 42% spend four to eight hours, 26% spend nine to 20 hours, and 5% spend more than 20 hours.
Some are clearly much luckier than others, while those at either end of the spectrum will not be delivering real value, if for different reasons. The paradox is that one environment where such issues should not exist for innovative people have their own problems. "Start-ups have no data - enterprise is where the data is," said Mason.
She offered some tips for ensuring that data science teams get to their optimum performance level. "Four things are needed when you are trying to innovate. You need a broad team, so insights from one domain can be applied to another. As you build your team, every new member should bring a new skill. Look for a change in the economics that constrain the use of technology, such as when analytics becomes a commondity. And when new data becomes available, that allows you to add machine learning," she said.
With ever more investment heading into data and analytics, both at enterprise level and start-ups, the opportunities for growing the economy and doing good are expanding. But so, too, are the pressures on resources and people which could constrain those very opportunities as they arise, either through demanding too much of a return or by crossing an ethical boundary. DataFest17 gave a useful insight into how those considerations are being evaluated and resolved.

They really knew how to live it up in the late 1800s, the flamboyant 19th Century credited for the invention of the cocktail. It was a spirited time in gin dens and dive bars where the alcohol was cheap, and the mixed drinks were strong. After a bit too much of a good thing, prohibition came along and all the fun got put on ice.
Almost one hundred years later, there has been somewhat of a resurgence of the cocktail, and when bars and speakeasies became popular drinking holes again cocktails went back on the menu. Once a nation of beer and wine drinkers, our society finally emerged from the lengthy prohibition and stirred up a palate for spirits and mixed beverages.
Today, our cocktail culture is in full swing and cocktails are essential to social imbibing. Cocktails would inevitably find their way out of bars and into our homes.

text: Please welcome, my friend Annie Leibovitz You know, every photographer's dream is to drive across the country and do the Americans and look at our country today. This is really the strange thing to say but I just love photography. Face Forward is just this idea of how we are constantly living and looking towards the future but I think that what you were capturing was appreciating and celebrating the present. And yeah, maybe our feet are planted a type of way towards the direction of the future itself but you were encapsulating right now and how we celebrate and build up people who are doing the work right now for the unforeseen future. And justice prevails where hopelessness persists so I am persuaded that I have to stay hopeful, I have to believe things I haven't seen and I think if others do the same we can create a more just society. And knowing that the steps were taking, small, individually, as a community, as a nation, you know, as a people, are going to turn that tide. You know, the challenges are summoning the clarity, the resources, and the coherence to figure out the plan ahead and to help people find their courage. And I happen to believe that progress, justice, stability, and hope can only occur in spaces where the self stands unafraid to be seen As it actually is You know, I'm going to try to stand up for what's best for my people, for my family, for myself, for our future generations. Creating opportunities and breaking down barriers so that the next generation will be so busy building that they won't even have time to destroy. There's so many different, interesting ways of thinking out there that it's a shame not to try and understand that. They are like brothers and sisters to each other and they need each other and they're not anywhere as good without each other. I'm so inspired, I'm so inspired by peoples' willingness to be patient with me and forgiving and so creative. I believe you have to sometimes stand up even when others say, "Sit down." I believe you have to sometimes speak even when others say, "Be quiet." The knowledge that I'm doing the best work of my life at a time when the precesses of time, life, and truth are most meaningful every moment of every day It was waiting for me to claim it and claim it I have I'm just hoping it's not too late to allow me to leave tracks. I would pass on to others, simply: never quit and don't give up. When life gets tough, just remember: left foot, right foot, repeat. I'm never really done, are you? Are you ever done?

This has not been a good week for brand campaigns when it comes to common sense. Pepsi has already faced a torrent of backlash after releasing what, at best, was a tone deaf ad showing Kylie Jenner solving police brutality and healing the world by giving an officer a can of soda during a nondescript protest.
[SEE ALSO: Shonda Rhimes Teams With Dove To Celebrate #RealBeauty]
So, just when we thought that was bad as it could get in 2017, skin care brand Nivea was on the other side of the globe pushing its own racist advertising messages. The brand posted to its Middle East Facebook page an ad with the words "White Is Purity" running across the back of a woman in a white robe, with the following text below it: "Keep it clean, keep it bright. Don't let anything ruin it." All of this "purity" was meant to sellI its Invisible For Black & White deodorant that wouldn't leave marks on either black or white clothing. Hmmmph.
After several days of backlash and becoming a new alt-right brand fave, Nivea finally deleted the ad. "We are deeply sorry to anyone who may take offense to this specific post," said the company in a statement. "Diversity and equal opportunity are crucial values of Nivea."
But, this isn't the first time Nivea has missed the mark. In 2011, the company charged men to "re-civilize" themselves by ditching their dread locs, afros and beards. At the end of the day, this speaks to a larger conversation about who's in the room and actually has a seat at the stable when it comes to making these marketing decisions – and who they are marketing to. Going forward, I hope brands do more than review approval processes and actually bring more diversity to the table.

Importance of AA Tokens
The AA tokens are basically some kind of coins that are used by alcoholic anonymous individuals in order to be able to try and reduce and also control they're drinking problem. Many addicts of alcohol normally find it very difficult to stay without it and this is because it is a habit and it has become part of their system. One of the ways in which individuals are able to successfully come out of this bad drinking habit is through the use of the AA tokens. These tokens can be bought from alcoholics anonymous store and are quite interesting and this is because an individual is able to earn the token through the efforts that he makes by avoiding to drink. Most alcoholic anonymous patients normally feel isolated and feel like there is nothing that they can do right and for this reason, their self-esteem normally goes down and they end up having low confidence. When they are issued with the tokens as rewards, they normally feel appreciated, loved and accepted and this encourages them to even fight the addiction harder as they try to get more awards.
We can then say that the token or the coins work as a motivator for the patients in the sense that they try to achieve their goals of getting more coins and therefore they fight in order to be able to get more coins and if they do this they are also fighting the urge to drink alcohol. This makes them be able to reduce or stop drinking alcohol without knowing since they find themselves more focused on achieving more coins since the coins are tangible and the fight against alcohol in intangible. You can visit the tokenshop.com to get more of AA tokens.
Due to the fact that they are given the coins, it also becomes like a challenge or a competition because they end up competing against each other in terms of who will be able to get more coins and through this process, they end up fighting the urge of drinking alcohol even more without their knowledge. The use of the tokens and coins is seen as a physical way for them to be able to see their progress and this gives them anticipation to even want to perform better and through this, they are able to fight the urge of drinking even more. The idea of the AA tokens is one that has seen more individuals are really adapting and this is because they feel that they are able to be rewarded and also at the same time able to see their progress through the use of the tokens and therefore this method has been positively accepted by many individuals trying to fight alcoholic behaviors.

When we think about December, we inevitably think about the traditional holidays celebrated during the month, such as Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa – even Festivus. But there is so much more to know about the last month of the year! Take a break from the expected December lists to consider these 10 lesser-known facts about December.
- Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Ala., on Dec. 1, 1955 for refusing to give up her seat to a white man and move to the back section of a municipal bus. Her arrest led to legal actions ending racial segregation on municipal buses throughout the South, signaling an important shift in human rights in America.
- The saying that "Everything is bigger in Texas" apparently applies to tasty treats, too. On Dec. 5, 2013, the Texas A&M Traditions Club in Bryan, Texas completed building the largest gingerbread house in the world, according Guinness World Records. How big, you ask? It measured 60 feet long by 42 feet wide by 10.1 feet high. And the most important measurement, the combination of baking ingredients and sweets, totaled 35,823,400 calories! While gingerbread houses aren't our specialty, if a larger home is on your wish list for the coming year, a PrimeLending loan officer can help make the process simple (and low-calorie).
- The world became a little more magical on Dec. 5, 1901, when Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born in Hermosa, Illinois. He went on to found Walt Disney Productions with his brother and perhaps most notably, created the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. Among his many accomplishments, Disney won 22 Academy Awards and founded the theme parks Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
- What would you be willing to give up for love? On Dec. 11, 1936, King Edward VIII abdicated the throne of England to marry a twice-divorced American named Wallis Warfield Simpson. They were married in France on June 3, 1937, and then lived in Paris.
- Bon voyage! When Sir Francis Drake set sail from England on Dec. 13, 1577 leading a voyage around-the-world, perhaps it's a good thing most of his crew thought they were only going as far as Egypt. Of the five vessels on the journey, only Drake's flagship Golden Hind would complete the voyage, eventually sailing 36,000 miles before returning to England in Sept. 1780.
- Setting their sights high helped propel two men to success and forever changed the way that we travel. On Dec. 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, ushered in the era of flight and soared into history. Despite having no formal engineering training, the brothers defied gravity by making the first manned airplane flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.
- If you're someone who values common sense, I bet you are familiar with Poor Richard's Almanack. First published on Dec. 19, 1732, the book published annually thereafter contained weather predictions, humor, proverbs and epigrams, and sold nearly 10,000 copies per year. Who was Poor Richard? He was a persona created by Benjamin Franklin.
- Ouch! Dutch Post-Impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh cut off his left ear during a fit of depression. Van Gogh was a prolific artist responsible for creating about 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings in just over a decade, including many self-portraits… some featuring his bandaged ear.
- Oh say can you see… that on Dec. 30, 1803 the Stars and Stripes flag was raised over New Orleans as the United States took formal possession of the Louisiana territory. Long considered one of the best bargain purchases in history, the U.S. bought an area of 885,000 square miles from France for approximately $15 million, nearly doubling the size of the country.
- Times Square became the go-to place for New Year's Eve revelers as early as 1904, but it was in 1907 that the New Year's Eve Ball made its first appearance. Since that time, seven different versions of the ball have been lowered. In 2007, for the 100th anniversary of the Times Square Ball Drop tradition, Waterford Crystal crafted a spectacular new crystal Ball with 2,688 Waterford Crystal triangles.
This month, as you take time to enjoy the great traditions of December, we hope you will spend a few minutes remembering some of the other notable facts about the last month of the year.
always enjoy reading your newsletter! Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years!

Social Media Lobby
Political pundits round the world are baffled and intrigued by the convulsive change in political voting habits which seems global rather than local. The obvious engine would appear to be social media. In particular the disengagement of young people from the voting process could come from a conviction that clicking a tablet is more empowering than marking an X.

Hey, dancers. It's Megan. I hope you're all having a wonderful season so far. This month is my featured month, and I'm looking forward to telling you all about my dancing and twirling career. I started dancing and twirling recreationally when I was only 2 years old, however my very first time competing was at the age of 3. The studio I dance and twirl baton with is run by my Mom, which is called Stars United Baton Club. My baton club incorporates all genres of dance into our routines. My three favourite styles of dance are Jazz, Musical Theatre, and Contemporary. Although it can be difficult to juggle dance, twirling, school and my social life,
I know I'll always have my supportive Mom to help me stay on track. My baton club is getting ready to travel to Italy for the World Baton Twirling Championships. I will be competing in two events -- Duet and a Team. I'm also the alternate in three other events, as well. I'm so excited to travel half way across the world and represent my country and my sport! I can't wait to see what the future holds for not only myself, but my amazing team. Good luck to all you fellow dancers this season!
How many hours a week do you dance/twirl?
I dance and twirl baton approximatley 18 hours a week, plus competitions and extra make-up lessons.
Why do you love dance and baton?
I love competing, whether it be for dance or baton being able to perform in front of hundreds of people.
What has been your favourite moment so far
My favourite thing that my team and I have done this season was the Newmarket Santa Clause Parade where we twirled and dance for everyone.
Stars United Baton Club
On Facebook
On Twitter
Stars United Baton Club has been twirling in York Region area for over 43 years. What started out as recreation club participating in Local Santa Claus and July 1 parades along with a few Grey Cup Parades along the way has now become an Internationally respected and Championships twirling team.
The Stars United Baton Club was formerly called Richvale Lions Majorettes and Progress Yorkettes, in 2007 twirling member and coach Satyne Ward, took over the club and new generation began under the title STARS UNITED, because we feel all Stars Unite to create lasting memories, friendships and moments. One Star is beautiful but a galaxy of Stars can light your path to anywhere!
We work on developing basic dance, gymnastic and twirling technique through our recreation programs and new this year we have brought twirling into the Schools with our LUNCH TIME TWIRL program offered to all York Region Public schools. Currently we have 5 programs in various schools and we look forward to sharing our sport with so many.
At the end of this month 14 young ladies ranging in age from 9-26 will be representing Canada at the WFNBTA World Baton Championships in Lignano Sabbadro, Italy for 9 days! Baton allows young girls of all shapes and sizes to dream big. Working together as a team is a must in our sport and we love sharing our wonderful sport and our wonderful memories with new stars every week! We wish our Gabie's "Girl" Megan Ward special congrats as she is a member of our National Junior Team in several events in Italy! Come on out it's not as hard as you may think, but the rewards will last forever.

Tornatore Scores Again With 'Malena' / More emotional than 'Cinema Paradiso'
MALENA: Romantic drama. Starring Monica Bellucci and Giuseppe Sulfaro. Directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. (R. 94 minutes. In Italian with English subtitles. At Bay Area theaters.)
"Malena" is the story of a beautiful woman living in difficult times. Fascist Italy is fighting on the wrong side of World War II, and people in Castelcuto, a seaside Sicilian town, are feeling the strain. That unceasing tension will eventually find expression in hatred and violence.
"Malena," which opens today, qualifies as director Giuseppe Tornatore's second full-fledged masterpiece. His first: "Cinema Paradiso." The new masterpiece is not quite as magical as the earlier one, nor as sprawling and all-encompassing, but it's also not as messy and uneven. "Malena" is smaller and more perfect, and it covers a wider emotional range.
At the film's center is Monica Bellucci, previously known only to a handful of film critics and European directors as one of the most stunning women in the world. Bellucci's performance is completely effective and rather curious, in that it involves little dialogue, and for that matter, little change in facial expression.
One might be tempted to give in to the facile conviction that it's hardly a performance at all, that the actress's beauty is merely a blank canvas onto which the audience projects its own emotions. But it's not true.
Bellucci conveys much through subtle means. Malena's walks through town alone add up to significant pieces of acting. As a newcomer living in the home of her father-in-law while her husband fights in North Africa, Bellucci suggests a complicated set of internal processes. Malena knows her beauty causes a commotion. She doesn't court it, doesn't want it, but at the same time, this is nothing new, and she's not angry about it. Her goal is not to interact, to go about her business.
Later, her walk changes, imperceptibly. She becomes more weathered, more stooped, yet more assured and dignified, less full of dread.
"Malena," based on a story by Luciano Vincenzoni, was adapted by Tornatore, who set it within the Baroque atmosphere of the Sicilian shore. War is raging, but the real news is Malena, the obsession of every man and boy in town, and, as a newcomer, the object of much speculation and lewd gossip.
Yet there's one teenage boy -- and this is so appropriate for Tornatore's romantic sensibility -- who doesn't just lust for Malena; he loves her. He loves her so much he follows her everywhere, but since she walks as though with blinders on, she never notices him. Young Renato (Giuseppe Sulfaro) even spies on her at intimate moments, because it so happens she lives in a basement apartment, with a chink in the wall. As a result, only he knows the truth about her love affairs.
It's a measure of Tornatore's ability to create a sublime aura that the story seems neither absurd nor something along the lines of "I Was a Teenage Stalker." It feels more like a dream. The early part of "Malena" is also fairly comical, with the boy masturbating relentlessly to a song that he overhears Malena dancing to in her apartment.
Yet "Malena" is not about the boy, but about Malena. Not merely a romantic projection, she is presented as a proud, friendless woman whose circumstances become increasingly dire. When the women of the town turn on her, the scene is as harsh and as devastating as anything found in the Neo-Realism films of post- war Italy.
Tornatore may have a big heart, but he doesn't have an empty head. He eludes sentimentality with a romantic vision wide enough to embrace the range of human experience.
Advisory: This film contains violence and nudity.
