If enjoy your coffee then the chances are that you have tasted an espresso or two before now. Many coffee drinkers love espresso, but there are also a number of people who really do not like the taste. It is, however, estimated that more people in the world drink espresso than drink regular coffee. In fact, in many parts of Europe espresso is actually the main coffee drink today! There are many reasons why so many people around the world enjoy drinking espresso and here are just a few that folks mention when they are asked why they love espresso so much:
The Wonderful Taste!
The majority of espresso drinkers simply love it because it has so much more flavour than cappuccino or regular coffee. It is thicker and is high in caffeine making it a lot more tasteful than other coffee drinks. Many people also enjoy the crema or foam that sits on the top of an espresso and some will often sprinkle a little cinnamon or other sweet herb on top for extra taste!
The Variety of Espresso's!
If you've never drank espresso before or even if you have, you may not be aware that there are over 20 different types of espresso available around the world. Some of the more well-known varieties are Affogato, Alexandrino, Americano, Breve and Café Bonbon to name just a few of them. Perhaps the number of variations is another reason espresso is so popular. Just to give you a short explanation and a flavour for a couple, Affogato is typically severed over gelato, which is similar to ice cream, usually with a vanilla flavouring. Alexandrino is another variation of espresso which is served topped with a layer of condensed milk, and a fresh cinnamon stick or two to add even more flavour to the drink!
One serving of espresso is known as an espresso shot and is typically about one ounce in size. Espresso contains considerably more caffeine than regular coffee and so 2-3 shorts is usually more than enough to kick start your day or give you an extra boost in the evening, although not an ideal drink to have just before bedtime!
Hopefully we have given you a flavour as to why espresso is so popular and why it has been so for centuries, maybe next time you're in a coffee house you may just be tempted to try one for yourself.

I would like to send my players to investigate the strange murders of two travelers, refugees from another, abandoned world. I originally saw this mystery taking place in a place I was going to call Old Tennor Port, but I've since had an idea I like more, and is more in line (I think) with the Rule of Cool.
I would like to hear from the community on this one. What images, styles, and themes spring to your fertile minds when you think of a place called Strasa, the Raining City?
Among the wealthy, sheepskin is the most popular material for it's light property and it's waterproof quality, but unfortunately it ruins much more easily that the cheaper and more durable cowhide.
Parchment is only ever used for internal documents, bookkeeping and the like. If a message is to be sent in the Raining City, it is most often delivered orally by a specially trained class of eidetic messengers. Those messages that cannot be revealed to anyone, however, are written on small plaques of glass with a special paint that never washes off but only becomes visible when it is dry.

Ok first post over here, those of you from the other side may already have seen it there
I am considering the purchase of another Canon body as although I like my 5D the auto focus is a bit too slow for my main use which is motor sport of various flavours.
The dilemma is on which model to go for. Now if funds where unlimited I would go for a 1D Mk IV but they aren't so the choices seem to be:-
Should do all I want and prices are just about in my affordable zone, however there is, if various reports on the web are to be believed, still an issue with focusing on panned shots. For my intended main use this could obviously be a problem.
Again should do all I want but will obviously be older and has fewer MP and less bells and whistles although as I have never used all the toys on any of my cameras since the A1 this probably wont be a problem. It does seem that it still out performs the MK III in focusing on panned shots
New 7D
Looks to be very good but perhaps not quite the build quality and feel of a 1. Auto focus is supposed to be very good. Is obviously newer so processing/high ISO performance should be better than the Mk II and probably the Mk III. Only down side I can see at the moment is that it won't auto focus at F8 (I use my 300 F4 with a 2x on occasion)
I think I would probably have chosen the Mk III if I was not concerned about the AF, but this is probably because I used a 1V quite a lot (and still use it albeit not so much now)
Has anyone first hand experience of a 1D III with panning shots? Or either of the others for that matter.

Nim and Filcher, thieves
Wat, a country bumpkin
Moll Medlar, a whore
Nim and Filch complain about hard times and are delighted to come across Wat, newly arrived in town. Distracting him with a glass prism, they pick his pockets but find nothing of value (he has wisely sewn his cash inside his shirt). Moll flirts with Wat and while they dance she tricks him into taking her basket and then disappears. Shocked to find it contains a baby, and keen to palm it off on the thieves, Wat puts the baby into a trunk and, knowing the thieves are listening, boasts it contains fine clothes. As he anticipates, the thieves pounce and steal the trunk. They fight over it, the baby is revealed and Moll declares Filch is the father. All three vow to turn over a new leaf. Wat has indeed cheated the cheaters.

Dressing for Downton: Costumes from Downton Abbey
The City of Toronto's Spadina Museum, in partnership with VisionTV/ZoomerMedia, proudly present the Canadian premiere of Dressing for Downton: Costumes from Downton Abbey, March 11 to April 13, 2014.
The exhibition features costumes and photographs from the series, Downton- themed tours and teas. The tour takes visitors through the museum's family and servants' spaces and links the characters and events from the TV show to real Toronto history.
Twenty authentic Downton Abbey costumes from Seasons 1 to 3 have been borrowed from Cosprop, Ltd., the London-based costume house that designs and creates the beautiful clothing worn by the cast of the television show. Nine of the costumes have accompanying hats, from Lady Sybil's nurse's scarf, to Lady Cora's wide-brimmed picture hat, to Lady Mary's cloche worn with her pregnancy suit. The costumes are all historically accurate, some made entirely of new textiles, and others using a mix of new and vintage fabrics.
Two ticket options are available: Exhibit and Tour; or Exhibit, Tea and Tour. The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday, and is closed Mondays. Tickets for this exhibition are available for purchase online at www.spadinamuseum.streamintickets.com

Stanford: Violin Concertos
Studio Master FLAC & ALAC downloads availableCDA67208
Movement 1: Ouverture
Movement 2: Allemande
Movement 3: Ballade
Movement 4: Tambourin
Movement 5: Rondo Finale
The first movement is a particularly remarkable example of this musical fusion of 'old' and 'new' styles. It is apparent in the conflation of ritornello and sonata principles, but perhaps more strikingly in the differentiation of first- and second-group material, the former very much using the Baroque mannerisms of French double-dotted rhythms (the solo opening is surely a depiction of Joachim and his beloved Bach unaccompanied violin sonatas) and the latter an overtly Romantic style, no doubt reminding the listener that Joachim was the dedicatee of Brahms's Violin Concerto. The 'Ouverture' is linked by a modulatory passage of quasi-recitative (in which the dotted rhythms are expunged) to the 'Allemande' (in G) which is perhaps reminiscent of Mendelssohn (not least his Violin Concerto which Joachim had played at a precociously young age). Felicitously scored, this delightful miniature more closely follows the traditional binary scheme of its Baroque model, though the full thematic recapitulation and excursion to F major betray its more contemporary roots. The Ballade (in G minor), recalling the rich sonorities of Brahms's Balladen Op 10, is a poetic, melancholy essay whose extended theme exploits the dark hues of the violin's G string. This plaintive material flanks a central section of a more euphonious, lyrical character and one which, in the coda, is transformed into Mendelssohnian quicksilver.
The 'Tambourin', like its counterpart the 'Allemande', is a short interlude of delicate proportions and nimble orchestration. In keeping with the character of the old Provençal dance, Stanford maintains the monotonous rhythm (heard mainly on the timpani) throughout the movement. The unchanging pedal point on D also gives rise to an interesting tonal syntax where the subdominant and submediant play a central role (as opposed to the dominant, which is largely absent) and where Stanford's chromatic resourcefulness is conspicuous at the climax. The gigue finale, cast in sonata-rondo form, is the most symphonic movement of the suite and the most technically demanding for both soloist and orchestra. Here Stanford's instrumental technique is shown at its most fluent and imaginative, particularly in the exhilarating central episode (where the solo violin's legato line is supported by the extraordinarily vigorous texture of the lower strings) and the sparkling coda where the ritornello of the first movement is recalled as a concluding gesture.

There's nothing quite so surprising as something utterly unremarkable. And so it is with the Kawasaki KLR650 – it's comfortable, grunty, quiet and reliable. Forget your fancy-pants BMW R1200GS' - providing you can live with adjusting and lubing a chain the Kawasaki KLR650 is at least as good at overlanding and a mere fraction of the price.

Perfect cloth diaper. Review by Kim
Price Value Quality
We researched cloth diapers for the longest time and finally decided to use the Grovia diaper. As both my husband and myself have never used cloth diapers before we were nervous about trying them but after receiving them, doing the proper number of washes, we are completely satisfied with our choice. They are easy to use, not as bulky as we thought they were going to be, and are saving us tons of money. I am always proud to say that we are using cloth diapers and after friends see them, they are considering try them as well! (Posted on 11/5/10)
Fantastic diaper overall Review by Kim H
Quality Price Value
We researched diapers for at least 2 months before deciding on the Grovia diapers. Neither my husband or myself had ever used cloth diapers, but these ones proved to be fool proof! We both love them and a year later (our son is now one) we are still using them and plan to continue until he is potty trained. Once you can get past the lump sum payment it is well worth it, we will be using these for our second child as well! (Posted on 9/23/11)
Extend the use of Gro Baby covers Review by Kristen
Quality Price Value
Perfect addition to our two sets of Gro Baby covers and soaker pads. Easy to use or pack for afternoons out and about. They can however take longer than other inserts to dry after washing. (Posted on 7/1/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
Super soaker uppers Review by MommyMel
Value Quality Price
After proper prepping (6+washes and tumble dries) these soakers are amazingly absorbent. Easy to use and saves space in my diaper bag. Love them. (Posted on 7/16/10)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

This support can only be guaranteed if the passenger arrives at the check-in desk at least one hour before their scheduled flight, or at a defined pick-up point at least two hours before their scheduled flight. You will find the pick-up points and the times that apply here.
Passengers with reduced mobility are accompanied on board with preference before all other passengers and at arrivals are the first to be picked up. Exceptions can however arise if the PRM is only checked in shortly before the flight, if the airline explicitly requests this, and if this is required by aircraft handling procedures.
Passengers with a wheelchair can use it at departures and arrivals to/from the aircraft door. The airline is responsible for loading the wheelchair.
Electric wheelchairs should be prepared early so that they can be loaded in good time and properly by the airline.
Please see the "What to be aware of"section in this respect.
Hannover Airport will not decline any request for assistance, provided the scope of the assistance is limited to the Hannover Airport grounds and is deemed reasonable and performable by the Airport Service staff.
The Wheelchair Service begins and ends at the defined pick-up and drop-off points on the Hannover Airport grounds. You can also request the necessary assistance from here with a handsfree system.
Flughafen Hannover Langenhagen GmbH is responsible for the service of people with reduced mobility, and the company provides the service with its own employees and commissioned service providers.
Hannover Airport has introduced a control system and can report on passenger procedures at all times.
· PRM booking verification
· Service start time
· Flight number and date
Hannover Airport regularly audits compliance with its quality standards and provides the respective data to the various airlines.
We would like to point out that this service is intended for passengers that rely on the assitance of another because of their reduced mobility. The service is free for passengers with reduced mobility. The costs incurred by the service are passed on to the collective body of all passengers departing from Hannover Airport.

Playing out wide on the side of the pitch, the winger is a team's finisher in attack. A winger is also often the last line of defence when they don't have the ball and as such, pace is their major resource.
One of the fastest wingers in the game is South Africa's Bryan Habana, whose 100m time of 10.4 seconds would have been enough to qualify for the men's 100m semi-final at the Beijing Olympics. He applied all his pace in the 2007 IRB Rugby World Cup and finished as the tournament's top try-scorer. He also famously raced a cheetah in a charity event, but the big cat won by a whisker…
Although wingers have traditionally been small, rapid players, the modern game favours backs who can combine pace with power, meaning that Jonah Lomu (6ft 5in), Ben Cohen (16st 3lb) and Matt Banahan (6ft 7in) have all enjoyed success out wide in recent years.

Buying a Home
Are you looking to buy a home, but don't know where to start? Are you ready to buy? Have you decided to do it by yourself? While buying a home is certainly an exciting time in one's life, it can also be the most stressful.
Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime… transactions that typically exceed $100,000.
Consider for a moment that you receive notice from the IRS regarding a problem with your taxes. A problem that could cost you $100,000. Would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you solve it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost (for sellers) and the large downside risk, it would be careless to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®.
When it comes to buying a home, "do" start by contacting a Realtor and "don't" try to DIY. Let us take the stress off of home buying so that you can, "Get Busy Living"!
Here are just a few of the ways in which your Realtor will help.
- Help determine your buying power.
- Set up automatic emails that will send you homes as soon as they hit the market
- Schedule convenient times and accompany you to see the homes that are of interest to you
- Prepare contracts and negotiate to get you the best price
- Assist with the inspection and appraisal processes
- Explain different financing options and identify qualified lenders
- Review the settlement statement for accuracy and guide you through the closing process
- Provide resources for moving companies, utilities, communication services, school information or anything else you may need

Recent medical reports suggest that ingested aluminum has a direct link to Alzheimer's, attention deficit disorder, bone degeneration, kidney dysfunction, and even Parkinson's disease. Studies have also shown that aluminum salts can be absorbed from the intestines and concentrated in various human tissues. Most baking powder products, a staple in some households, contain toxic levels of aluminum.
With all this known, you probably would wonder why aluminum is allowed in baking powder and why anyone would use it. The baking powders that contain aluminum are 'double-acting' indicating that although some of the leavening power is released when the mix is prepared, the greater leavening takes place when the item is baked. This produces a very fine, light texture, and is appreciated particularly in commercial baking, where mixes often sit for long periods before they go into the oven. But it isn't necessary for your baking. For a lighter texture, just bake the mix immediately.
Also, if you've ever experienced a bitter, "tinny" flavor when biting into a muffin, that's because of the baking powder used—and often the overuse of it. Using aluminum free baking powder not only will keep you from ingesting aluminum, but will also take away that bitter flavor.

My son is allergic to corn. There is only one brand of baking powder (that I know of) that does not have cornstarch in it. Does this have cornstarch?
January 24, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Try the Arrowroot powder. xx
April 1, 2012 at 2:33 pm
RE: Baking Powder - Make your own. It's easier to find aluminum-free baking soda than baking powder:
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
1 teaspoon corn starch (optional - can use arrowroot instead of corn starch)
Mix the baking soda and cream of tartar together until well combined. Use immediately.
Yield: One tablespoon of baking powder.
To store baking powder: Add a teaspoon of corn starch to the mixture, and stir. This will absorb any moisture from the air, and prevent the baking powder from reacting before you need it. Store in an air-tight container.

Two coaches under massive pressure will send their troops into battle in Dublin on Saturday as France seek their first win in 2013 while Ireland try to bounce back from a title-hope-ending loss at Murrayfield.
The stats don't look good for either side. Consecutive Championship losses for Ireland - for the first time since 2008 - have added impetus to the growing calls from high-profile Irish rugby figures for Declan Kidney to be axed after this campaign.
France, meanwhile, are anxious to end their longest Five/Six Nations winless streak (six games) in 55 years and Phillipe Saint-Andr� is facing the very real prospect of eating his humble pie with a wooden spoon. Les Bleus have not gone seven games without a win in the tournament since 1927!
So to say the pressure is on would be an understatement. Thierry Dusautoir's comments that France had to win "no matter the cost" with his coach adding they would "happily sign for a 3-0 victory" are illustrations the desperation the visitors' camp.
While he grapples with never-ending injury woes, Kidney says he isn't thinking past this weekend but it's impossible to believe that the prospect of not having his contract renewed when it expires in a fortnight isn't playing on his mind. The fact that Ireland have won just one of their last 13 games against the French will not be helping him sleep either. His bizarre, and contradictory, statements this week suggest that the pressure is telling.
Both sets of fans have taken issue with their respective coach's choices at fly-half (though, with the exception of Steve Hansen, how many coaches that can say honestly they're in a different position?)
France were rather poor in their first two games with Fred Michalak driving the bus. They then produced their best hour of rugby when Francois Trinh-Duc started, only to fall apart when Michalak returned in the last half-hour at Twickenham. I'm not about to jump on the Michalak-bashing bandwagon because I reckon he IS a great player but even I'm amongst those wondering exactly what Trinh-Duc did merit being dropped. Similarly, Mathieu Bastareaud, who has beaten more tacklers than any other player in the tournament, despite only playing 20 minutes against Italy, also finds himself relegated to the woodwork. Likewise, I'm a fan of Florian Fritz, but after his subdued performances against in Rome and Paris, I don't really understand why he's starting in Dublin.
Ireland's fly-half issues have been of a very different nature and most critics have welcomed Kidney's courage in finally putting the country's most capped player out to pasture despite his first-choice pivot being ruled out by injury. But the way he handled the doubt surrounding Paddy Jackson's fitness for this weekend bordered on farcical, giving four different answers across three separate media briefings as to who will would wear the 10 jersey at Lansdowne Road. First he confirmed Jackson would start, but then said that a decision between who of Jackson and Ian Madigan would be given the nod would be made late on Tuesday. A few minutes later the call had been put back to Thursday and finally he announced that he knew the identity of his fly-half, but he wanted to speak to the two players first before making his choice public. Feeling the heat then are we, Declan?
Having passed a fitness test, Jackson will direct traffic for the men in green and Irish fans will pray that those on his outside will do a better job of converting opportunities after an unholy amount of possession and territory ended up being wasted at Murrayfield. An improvement by Jackson from the kicking tee would help too. Ireland have missed fewer tackles than any other side this season but they have failed to really fire on attack since those blistering first 43 minutes against Wales.
The last quarter has been France's biggest issue. They failed to up the tempo enough when trailing in Rome, there was a fateful lapse in defence in the dying minutes in Paris and the French bench turned the game in the wrong direction at Twickenham. The impact of the replacements, or lack thereof, is a real concern and PSA needs to consider the timing of his changes more carefully.
Considering the stakes, we shouldn't expect an open, free-running game. Margins at this level are incredibly small and, dramatic as it may sound, a tiny mistake on Saturday could cost someone their job.
Who would want to be an international coach? Not me.
Players to watch:
For Ireland: He's a favourite target for critics but Keith Earls has more clean breaks to his name (four) than any other player after three rounds. The Irish front row of Cian Healy, Rory Best and Mike Ross will combine in the for the 20th time on Saturday, equalling Shane Byrne, John Hayes and Reggie Corrigan's record for Ireland. Healy can consider himself lucky to be available after getting off his suspension on a technicality. But the man under the microscope is Paddy Jackson. Given the drama of this week's events, another poor performance is set to make headlines.
For France: Full-back Yoann Huget has evaded 10 tackles so far in the tournament, better than any other player (bar Bastareaud) in the tournament . He is joined in an all-Toulouse back three by Vincent Clerc and Maxime M�dard. Clerc has scored eight tries in ten Tests against Ireland, equalling the record for any country against Ireland. He is now France's third most capped winger (behind Philippe Saint-Andr� and Christophe Dominici). M�dard makes his first start in over a year and his first on the wing since 2011, when he scored a try against Ireland at this venue. Morgan Parra wins his 50th cap for France but it's only his second alongside Frederic Michalak, who has never lost against Ireland in seven Tests.
Head-to-head: Modern rugby often revolves around the battle between the loose forwards. Sean O'Brien has made more carries (44) than anyone else but second to him is France number eight Louis Picamoles (41). Jamie Heaslip is due a captain's innings after a poor campaign so far while Thierry Dusautoir is the championship's best tackler. The tussle between of the two relatively inexperienced second rows could be interesting. Donnacha Ryan has won more line-outs (14) than any other player after three rounds, whilst Yoann Maestri is joint-second with 13.

2004: France won 35-17 at Stade de France, Paris
2003: France won 43-21 at Colonial Stadium, Melbourne (RWC)
Prediction: Ireland have not lost three in a row in a single championship since 1998. France have lost their last three Test matches but have not lost four in a row since 1989. It's a tough one to call but on the basis of France's first hour at Twickenham we think they have just have the edge. Don't bet your house either way. France by less than five points

'To grandmother's house I go...'
To skip across the schoolyard and share in the chant, 'to grandmother's house I go', was not a part of my childhood, because my grandmothers and I did not exist in the same dimension of time. My maternal grandmother died when my own mother was barely five years old, and my father's mother died almost a full decade before I came along. For me, a grandmother was someone who existed only in old photographs, was rarely spoken about, and had long ago turned to dust. The facts of the matter did not dissuade me, though. They haunted my dreams, these grandmothers, and so I made a decision.
'To grandmother's house I go...'
I find myself slightly short of breath, as I stand across from the small row house on Gordon Street. Inexplicably, I search the upper windows for any sign of her looking out. A deep pain echoes in my chest, and tears begin to stream down my face, mourning the loss of someone I never even had a hold of, 'Grandmother'. I take the word and roll it around inside my mouth, 'grandmother', 'mother grand'. It sounds like celebration. I think about the word in Irish: 'seanmháthair', 'old mother', one who is old and wise, and takes care of you. I think about the word en français: 'grand-mére', 'great mother', like something which towers over you, towers over your life.
What is it I expected to find? Did I imagine that somehow gazing upon these stone buildings, and whispering the magical word, 'Grandmother', would bring these women back to me? Doors would open wide, welcoming arms would draw me in to sit before a turf fire, to learn all of their stories, and to share mine. It is too much to bear. I climb on my bicycle and travel back down the hill toward Collins Barracks and Irish History, away from family history, and grandmother's house.

Hi Claudia,Delete
As always, thank you for your comments. I feel the same way as you, that we have missed out on a lot.
Jennifer, It's very sad you did not know your grandmothers. I am very fortunate to have grown up with both sets of grandparents, and believe they truly did enrich my life. It's great you are remembering them in this way, and I feel sure they know it.ReplyDelete
Hi Ashling,Delete
Thanks very much for your comments. I am very glad for you to have known your grandparents. I hope that you have a lot of fond memories of your time with them.

Hi Carol,Delete
Thanks for your comments; as always, they are much appreciated. Sorry to make you cry. :):)
Jennifer, I am sorry you never had a grandma for cuddles & confindences. I had no grandfathers but I had my grandmothers. Our maternal grandmother was very close to my brotyhers and I, as special as our parents. Have you been able to learn about them? stories? photos?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Colleen,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are much appreciated. I have been able to learn the stories of both of my grandmothers. In fact, this blog was inspired by my desire to share their stories. Although I did not know them in person, I feel very fortunate to have been able to learn about who they were as women, and as wives and mothers.
Jennifer, heartful and evocative stories, I felt your loss and sadness...a gap that can never really be filled. While my maternal grandmother died when I was not quite 4, I have dim memories of her somehow merged with her photo in my parents' room. I also had her sister, who I suppose treated me a little like a grandchild and brought me treats. She was very kind and I was close to her, but not as a grandmother. I was very lucky that my father's mother lived next door so I was very close to her and have many, many fond memories. It really is a treasure to have a grandmother...I only hope I'm leaving my grandchildren with some special memories for the future. Sorry, that all kind of rubs it in, it wasn't meant to, simply reiterating how significant the loss of a grandparent can be.ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Pauleen,Delete
Thanks for your comments; they are always much appreciated. I agree it is a treasure to have a grandmother, and I think it's wonderful that you are ensuring you leave your own grandchildren with happy memories (not to mention a great family history).
Cheers to you,

I wouldn't. Not sure about warriors specifically, but Expertise reduces the targets chance to dodge/parry, and hit reduces the chance you will miss your target.
Paladin tanks don't need much hit as we do a lot of spell damage. I don't think you should really have to worry about either stat unless you find yourself having issues generating rage or threat. It would probably be more useful to gem and enchant for more avoidence or mitigation stats over those two.

Post-2015 development goals
As the debate on the post-Millennium Development Goals agenda gathers pace, the ILO says the most pressing priorities are job creation and social protection.
Development cooperation and transparency
The Dashboard gives financial and documentary data on ILO's Extra-budgetary Technical Cooperation (XBTC) projects and on Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA) programmes. This online portal provides both financial and documentary information on the general allocation of ILO project funds and project activities since 2005, the earliest project information available when the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) was first implemented in the ILO. Data on RBSA programmes is available as from their inception in 2008.
Faith-based organizations
This handbook demonstrates that in different religions and spiritual traditions there is great convergence of values on the subject of work.
In 2012-2013 the ILO achieved a delivery rate of 80 per cent, the highest ever. This review of ILO development results reflects the changing nature and increased impact of its operations, and the growing recognition of the value of decent work.
Visit the related website.
The Government of Denmark will contribute DKK 50 million (approximately US$ 8.6 million) to the ILO's Regular Budget Supplementary Account (RBSA) and DKK 15 million (US$ 2.6 million) to the Better Work programme – an innovative partnership between the ILO and the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank.
Provides figures on expenditure, delivery, extrabudgetary funding, by partner, region, Strategic Objective, etc.
'If you want peace, cultivate social justice' was the topic of discussion at this high-level panel event held in conjunction with an ILO Governing Body discussion on the ILO's development cooperation in fragile States.ILO Governing Body paper: ILO technical cooperation in fragile States

Elly is living proof that modeling is not always fun and games.
AN EXPERIENCED catwalk performer, Elly did extensive work out of Milan and Paris for years before running across Petter in Cape Town late one evening. Having never before done nudes, and always attracted to new experiences, Elly quickly agreed to a photo shoot.
Sensing a little something extra in this particular woman, Petter planned something truly special for Elly. Flying into the bush of Zimbabwe in a bumpy eight seat prop plane, Petter armed himself with a Hasselblad in one hand and a 44 Magnum in the other to protect Elly and himself from the Leopards and Lions that were roaming nearby. It was a memorable session for all.
Elly carried on throughout the shoot like the trooper she is and walked away at the end of the day with sigh of relief and a smile on her face.
|Adam (Xmega Aerospace C.E.O.) United States
She has overwhelming beauty!! It is so good to see more pictures of Elly!! She looks amazing is this series! Her beauty is a euphoric dream to me! I wish I could be beside her watching a sunset... She is truly amazing. I really want to tell her that. Petter, you did a superb job photographing Elly! :-) :-) :-)
|randy United States
Elly flowing water Flowing water for Elly's long legs is a great setting! The grey day adds a sculptural quality to the set. It's too bad Elly is shy, because it would have been fabulous to see the water flow between her long thighs had she been standing a little more out of the water on page 2. In fact in all her sets we never see her full frontal--as Carre would say, "inventory"-- to see those long legs and space between her thighs.
|timatits United States
Elly I agree with randy about the effective use of the relatively grey setting to amplify Elly in this series. This is a critical part of the composition. The flowing water and the natural background make for a very busy picture, but because of this 'greyness' Elly stands out, even if she is relatively small in comparison. The most erotic photos IMHO are on page two where the water comes to her waist as if she were wearing a pair of super-low cut jeans. The early portion of that sequence lets us focus on her lovely face and awesome tits. Here Elly's large and swollem areola send out a strong and immediate signal of sexual desire. And then, as she moves through the stream, the water covers less and less; a professional stripper would be jealous of such an effective, slow, and natural revealing of her pubis. Some photosets make you want to jump up and yell; this one has you sitting back with a warm smile and a pleseant sigh.
|ben United States
elly on the rocks page 1 pic 2 is a 9 but... page 4 row 2 pic1 what an inspired piece of photography.. the hands are beautiful.. the face and hair is a delicate blend of beauty and strength.. the model oh yeah certainly one to make an aphrodite jealous... and i'd like to be her personal trainer may be tone her thighs just a bit and work her abs but alas im not great job bringing this work to the galeries

Wow! Elly is just wonderful! Elly looks like, in this series, Eve waiting for the very first man to appear on earth.

Interesting pics. Would have preferred something more focused on Elly, but the end result with the tree and the stone gives a gallery very relaxing, a touch of zen spirit inside.

Elly in Zimbabwe WOW!! Elly to me looks VERY beautiful in an experienced way. She is 31 which shows her maturity and me being only 25 I see that very attractive. Her facial features are very distinct and very beautiful as well. I have been a member for over one year now, looking at the updates everyday, and all the models are very nice, but there is somthing about "Elly" with her mature look that makes her one of the most beautiful models I have EVER seen on any site!! She is a 12 of 10 but the scale only goes to 10 of 10 :-) Again Elly is a 12 of 10 because she has that beautiful mature beautiful everything about her!!

I love Elly! :-) :-) Elly is very beautiful in that mature look that is very seducing. I posted on both her last two photo shoots and anything dealing with her is a 15 out of 10. Petter, I hope you take more photos of this beautiful angel from heaven! She is one of the most beautiful models you ever took pictures of! I wish I could tell her in person how I felt of her beauty and what her voice would sound like. I really hope you keep on taking these excellent photographs of Elly. I check daily on here to see if there is any more of her :-) :-)

truly beautiful model. In a way, it is almost unfair to compare her to younger models
