Georgetown University senior Patrick Dowd always envisioned a life in foreign affairs. Majoring in political and security studies, with a regional focus on South Asia, India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, Dowd grew up traveling the world with his journalist mother and international businessman father, and counts among the 40 countries he's visited Norway, Thailand, Egypt, South Africa, The Czech Republic, The Dominican Republic, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, The Netherlands, and Ethiopia. "Growing up, we'd complain our family vacations weren't at Ocean City or Dewey Beach like everyone else, instead we were going to Cambodia or Morocco," says the Georgetown Student Body president who is fluent in French and Hindi. "But now I find I'm comfortable forging relationships no matter the situation. I have an appreciation for people from unusual places and quirky backgrounds."
A recent course on Global Cities and the components that define them gave Dowd a new set of lens --anthropological, political, architectural, and commercial-- through which to experience world capitals. "Helsinki will be my first international travel since completing this course, and I'm eager to experience the city through this new paradigm. I think I'm going to be able to engage with Helsinki in a totally different and unexpected way."
The greater Helsinki area has a substantial number of high-quality universities - too many to visit each of them exhaustively. During his stay, Mr Patrick Dowd will be introduced to a varied sample of the universities and university life in the greater Helsinki region. As the forerunner and flagship of multidisciplinary cooperation, the soon-to-be-formed Aalto University (comprised of the former Helsinki University of Technology, the University of Art and Design Helsinki and the Helsinki School of Economics) will be presented, and visits will be made to venues such as the Design Factory, the Aalto University Transformation Team, and a few world-class laboratories representing both well-established technologies and important cutting-edge research. Other universities that are not going to be part of the new Aalto University will also be presented to provide another perspective on the issues.
In addition to the academic programme, Finnish culture will be strongly present with visits to the famous Sauna Society, the Ateneum, the Yrjönkadun Uimahalli swimming pool and possible visits to student speakeasies in undisclosed locations.
Mr Anders Häggman will act as host for Mr Dowd during his visit. Mr Häggman works as a Associate Research Scientist at the Aalto University Design Factory, which is a result of an earlier project named the Future Lab of Product Design, which aimed to create the ideal working space and environment for product developers and researchers alike, simply put "a facility driven by passion, coaching and inspiring the mind".
After a long flight, and a stopover at London Heathrow, the eagle has landed at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport!
My gracious host, Anders Häggman. This picture was taken at the innovative Design Factory, which is part of the new Aalto University. Anders is an expert in mechanical engineering and product design. Like most students in Helsinki, he speaks perfect English, is smart, and is extremely friendly. It's typical for Finnish university students to have studied abroad. Anders spent a year studying at Stanford University, and he stays in close touch with his American friends from "The Farm."
Steve Jobs, look out: Anders Häggman is The World's Best Product Designer!
The Helsinki School of Creative Entrepreneurship is part of the newly formed Aalto University. This program is housed within the Design Factory, where my host Anders is a Research Associate. The entire space is specially designed to facilitate creative forms of collaboration that lead to innovation. It sort of looks like what you might expect Google or Yahoo's campuses in Mountain View, CA, to look like. There is a strictly enforced rule here that noone is allowed to have coffee makers in their offices. This ensures that the product designers regularly interact with one another and share ideas. There is also an entire room specifically designated for playing the "Guitar Hero" video game. Rock on!!
As it turns out, there are many students at Aalto University interested in entrepreneurship. When I visited a meeting of the Aalto University Entrepreneurship Club, there were over 200 students in attendance! To put this in perspective: at Georgetown, a good turn out for a club meeting is about 30 students.
The budding entrepreneurs at Aalto are using innovative methods to hone their skills. For instance, I learned that many of the Entrepreneurship Club were participating in a challenge to design and market products online within the virtual realm of "Second Life." This excerise was meant to simulate the experience of entering foreign markets, something that Finnish entrepreneurs are eager to do!
Here is an example of the innovative projects that Aalto students are working on at the design factory. The miniature sensor that these young Finns have designed recognizes when somebody is slipping and about to fall. It then activates a cushion-like apparatus that rapidly expands and cushions that person's most fragile bone structures, thereby preventing injuries. Many elderly people in Finland are hospitalized every year because they slip and fall on the ice. Thus, this technology has the potential to be marketed to elderly individuals as well as insurance companies.
The most exciting aspect of this research is that it is being done in collaboration with other design and engineering students around the world. At the design factory, there are multiple flat-screen TVs mounted on the walls that serve as virtual portals to other leading universities around the world such as Stanford, MIT, and the Indian Institute of Technology in Kuampur. The students who were working on the anti-slippage technology, for example, were collaborating with students at Stanford, with whom they had regular video-uplink meetings to refine their their designs.
Here I am in the mechanical engineering wing of the Design Factory at Aalto University. One of the things that makes Aalto University such an attractive place for young product designers to conduct research is that they have access to cutting edge machinery that allows them to build models of their designs. The particular contraption behind me in the picture is a machine designed for cleaning windows and making repairs to sky-scrapers.
Here I am with one of Aalto University's leading naval architects. Aalto has a massive hanger designated for research and design of maritime vessels. Finnish naval architects have an excellent reputation for designing boats intended for arctic (i.e. icy) sailing conditions. In this picture I am holding a model of an innovative propellor that was specially designed to enable large vessels to navigate through ice-infested waters.
This picture was taken at the Aalto University Naval Engineering Center's synthetic wave pool. This massive pool is equipped with machinery that creates various wave conditions in which the sea-worthiness of model ships can be tested. The water can also be frozen to simulate icy wave conditions. They not only use this technology to test new ship designs before they are commericalized, but also to investigate why older ship designs fail. For example, after a Nowegian vessel capsized in a violent storm, the researches at this facility reverse engineered a model of that vessel and then put it up against various wave conditions to discover why it capsized. It turns out that a combination of waves from multiple directions was what brought her down to Davey Jones' locker...Ahar!!
Mammi is something of a controversial desert. Finnish people either hate it or love it, but nearly everyone has tried it and feels strongly one way or the other. Americans will recognize Mammi's taste as being quite simillar to the filling inside of a Fig Newton cookie. Finns eat Mammi as if it were cereal, in a bowl with milk.
Here I am tasting the famous Mammi desert. Foreigners should look upon this as a badge of honor.
All Finnish university students have colorful jumpsuits like the one pictured here that they wear to parties in the warm weather months. Finnish revlers get a new badge for each party the students attend. These parties are occaisonally sponsored by Finnish corporations, such as Fortum, Finland's leading energy company. Talk about an effective recruiting tool!
I think this is a great tradition, and look forward to bringing it back to the states. :-)
Here I am with a bunch of Aalto University party-goers in front of St. Nicholas' Church, one of Helsinki's most famous landmark. This day was kind of like an American "pledge day," when underclassmen vy for a place in their favorite clubs.
As my favorite American political satirist, Christopher Buckley, likes to say, "Great ideas ought to weather the test of time. An idea that was good in 1920 ought to still be good today. Unless, of course, that idea was banning alcohol!" In this picture I am following Anders into the top-secret APY speakeasy in Aalto University neighborhood of Otaniemi, where the sale of alcohol is banned.
Here I am with the editors of the 2009 issue of APY. APY (pronounced aah-POO) is a Helsinki tradition that streches back decades. Every year at the May 1 festival, these pranksters publish a comic rag that pokes fun at Finnish politics and culture. The editors prepare for the highly anticipated release of APY in the basement of their speakeasy, which doubles as a newsroom.
The writing's on the wall. This chalk board is used to post the outside water temperature at the exclusive Finnish Sauna Society, where generations of Finnish dignitaries and their guests have gone to take a sauna and have a ritualistic dip in the icy winter waters.
I don't know about Rome, but the tradition in Helsink is that after sweating it out in the Sauna, you go for a dip in the ocean -- even it it is the middle of winter and the water is 0 degrees!
Call me crazy, but...Actually, no. What I am about to do IS crazy.
Supposedly, the shock of swimming in O degree water is good for your health. I would say that it is more likely to add life to your years than years to your life. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my life flashed before my eyes in the few moments I spent clamoring through these frigid waters. Indeed, Mr. Hobbes, it was nasty, brutish, and short.
This picture pretty much sums up the feeling of swimming in O degree water.
As it turns out, I wasn't the first American to brave the winter waters at the Finnish Sauna Society. Here is a letter from Former U.S. President George H. W. Bush expressing gratitude to his host for brining him to the Society. While I imagine that Bush had a "kinder and gentler" visit than I did (he stopped by in the summer), I share his gratitude for having been allowed to take part in this amazing tradition.
Behind me is one of the famous Viking Line cruise ships that ferry Scandanavians back and forth between Helsinki and Stockholm. These overnight ferry rides, which feature an endless supply of food and alcohol, are notorious for the raucous antics their passengers often exhibit. Think Scandanavian Spring Break.

Here I am meeting with Helsinki Deputy Mayor Pekka Sauri. Mr. Sauri is a leading voice within Finland's Green Party. During our meeting, Mr. Sauri and I had the opportunity to speak about how Finland's domestic politics have been influenced by the history of their interactions with neighboring countries such as Sweeden, Estonia, and Russia. We also spoke about how the forces of globalization have led to a realligning of coalitions within Finland's domestic political sphere.
FINLAND'S ROLE IN THE 21st CENTURY
When I was first invited to visit Finland, I knew very little about the country, and I was curious to discover what sort of role this small Nordic nation plays in the broader global scene. As it turns out, this small country plays quite a big role.
During my time in Helsinki, I routinely asked the people I met the following question: "What does Finland see as its role for the 21st Century?" From sweltering hot saunas, to hotel lobbies, to the street-corner cafes, to the well-lit corridors of Finland's parliament building, I received a variety of answers that collectively amounted to a rather coherent response.
If there is one thing the Finns are good at, it is design. I didn't really need to travel to Finland to figure that out (the strikingly modern Dulles Airport just outside of Washington, D.C. was designed by Finnish architect Eero Saarinen), but visiting Helsinki, which is in the running to be World Design Capital in 2012, really drove the point home. Nearly every structure that you encounter in Finland seems to exude a deliberately and purposefully rendered sense of style. Even the massive coal refinery that lies at the city's limits looks as though it belongs in a museum.
If there were any question as to whether or not Finns take design seriously, it is being put to rest by the soon to be inaugurated Aalto University, which is named after the famous Finnish architect Alvaro Aalto. Broadly regarded throughout the world as the "Father of Modernism," Alvaro Aalto's celebrity within Finland is second only to that of Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, the much-lauded national hero who served as Commander-in-Chief of Finland's Defence Forces during the Finnish Civil War of 1918 and World War II.
Aalto University has been formed by pooling the resources, expertise, and intellectual capital of three existing universities: The Helsinki University of Technology, The Helsinki University of Economics, and the University of Art and Design Helsinki. Prior to their merging, each of these universities were the best of their kind in Finland. Now that they have united under the umbrella of Alto University, they are worth more than the sum of their parts.
The experimental Design Factory at Aalto University, a massive warehouse equipped with state-or-the-art product design equipment, computer technology, and study spaces, is emblematic of the collaborative learning environment that Aalto University seeks to foster. Brightly lit and decorated with an eclectic mix of whimsical stage props, the Design Factory feels more like a playground for grown-ups than a university classroom - it's actually both.
It is fair to say that Finnish people, as a rule, are very cognizant of how different environments influence one's behavior. This is hardly surprising given the vast environmental fluctuations that can be observed over the course of a year in Finland. In January, sub-zero temperatures cause Finland's many waterways to freeze over, and there is less than two hours of sunlight per day. From June to August, the sun never sets and long days spent lounging in one of Helsinki's many parks or exploring its neighboring archipelago by boat become the norm.
If Napoleon Bonaparte has been celebrated for declaring: "geography is destiny," then perhaps it would not be unreasonable to say that Finn's believe: "environment is destiny." I would say that if the Design Factory at Aalto University is any indication of the broader Finnish mentality, they certainly do.
One of the more interesting things I encountered at the Design Factory was a control room used to monitor the behavior of students in a nearby classroom. It was also equipped with a number of dials that could alter certain variables within the room such as lighting and ambient noise levels. The purpose of this arrangement, so I was told, is to discover the environmental factors that are most conducive to achieving creative breakthroughs in group projects. While I found this Orwellian arrangement rather unusual, I have to admit that it was-like so many other Finnish concepts-a rather novel idea.
Another novel idea can be seen hanging on the walls of the Design Factory, where flat-screen televisions are equipped with cameras that link up to other leading research universities around the world. The day I visited, I observed students video-conferencing with their project partners at Stanford, MIT, and the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur. Not bad for a day's work.
The philosophy behind the Design Factory and Aalto University in general is indicative of Finland's strategic outlook at the outset of the 21st century. Indeed, the same factors that make Aalto University likely to succeed-interdisciplinary in research and development, accessible top-quality educational infrastructure, a global perspective, and solid financial backing-are all reasons why Finland is well poised to succeed as well.
While Finland has been recognized for its design acumen relating to built environments (Aalto, Saarinen), and has been celebrated for its ability to produce cutting-edge technologies (Nokia, KONE elevators), it is perhaps underappreciated, at least in the United States, for its ability to be an architect of peace in diplomatic settings. That former Finnish President Martti Athisaari's was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize for his successful efforts to resolve conflicts in regions as diverse as the Balkans, Southern Africa, and Indonesia is, I believe, a testament to what Finland is capable of contributing in the realm of international affairs.
This revelation was made most clear during a meeting I had with the Student Union President of the Helsinki Theatre Academy. He explained to me that Finland, which is especially well known in classical music circles because of the prolific work of Jean Sibelius, is the only country in Europe where set design and stage lighting have been elevated to an art form (the Helsinki Theatre Academy offers a 3-year masters degree in set design). It occurred to me that this, the role of stage director, is precisely the role that Finland is so well equipped to play in international affairs.
If one thinks of international politics as a performative exercise, in which various actors play different roles, then Finland deserves to be respected and sought out as a leading set director. By setting the stage, Finland can shape the environment where critical interactions take place. Just like at the Design Factory, it can help to foster settings that are conducive to creative thinking processes that can lead to diplomatic breakthroughs.
As the 21st century begins to show signs of increased instances of conflict around the world, Finland's ability to serve as an architect of peace, and to set the stage for progress, has never been more necessary, or more timely.
THE HOYA: "Dowd Makes Global Connections"
By Tomi Maxted, Staff Writer | Mar 23 2009
Georgetown University Student Association President Pat Dowd (SFS '09) never thought he would spend his senior spring break in a Finnish sauna, meeting Finland's president or jumping into a frozen lake - but that is just what he ended up doing.
After traveling 3,000 miles as part of a cross-cultural exchange, Dowd said he gained a new perspective on life abroad and experiences at Georgetown. When he was first invited to Helsinki, he knew it would offer him a valuable opportunity to learn about international affairs, but never considered that he would land the unexpected chance to speak with Finnish diplomats and politicians.
"If you were to ask me did I think I'd be going to Helsinki to talk to politicians about Finland's role in international affairs for my senior year spring break I'd have told you to get lost," Dowd said. "[The Parliament visit] was a high point ... [to my] senior year."
Dowd was invited by Helsinki Mayor Jussi Pajunen to come to Finland to strengthen ties between Finland's capital and Washington, D.C. Dowd, representing the District's university students, was among 12 D.C. residents who were selected to come to Finland to learn more about Finnish culture and politics.
Among the dignitaries Dowd met was former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari, who recently won the 2008 Nobel Peace Prize. Dowd formally extended an invitation on behalf of School of Foreign Service Dean Robert Gallucci to come and give the Herbert Quandt Distinguished Lecture this year.
With all expenses financed by the Finnish government, Dowd was given the opportunity to immerse himself in Helsinki's university community and political arena. Dowd visited many universities and colleges and was able to take a first-hand look at the city's Aalto University project, the opening of a new university in August 2009, combining the Helsinki University of Technology, Helsinki School of Economics and University of Art and Design Helsinki.
"To me that seemed as kind of an unusual pairing of competencies, so I guess I was kind of skeptical what they were attempting [through the Aalto University Project], but by the end of the week, I got a really good idea of what that was," he said.
Dowd was also given nearly full access to Finland's diplomats and politicians to explore Finland's role in international politics for a paper that he is writing.
"I got a Thomas Friedman level of access when I was there to ask questions. The trip was really cool, because I got a chance to take all the theory and conceptual stuff I learned at Georgetown and apply it to a real issue," Dowd said. "It really validated the worth of a Georgetown education."
In addition to writing a paper, Dowd was asked to complete some other tasks upon his return. Dowd is involved in organizing both the Ahtisaari lecture and an embassy party at the Finnish Embassy on May 6. Furthermore, Dowd is helping a Finnish marketing team work on myhelsinki.com, a Web site aimed at improving Helsinki's visibility and accessibility.
Dowd used the information he learned from touring universities and combined it with the knowledge gleaned from interviewing politicians to gain a new perspective on Finnish diplomacy.
"What had occurred to me was that Finnish people are very creative people and have this long history of creativity," he said. "They also bring this approach of design and architecture to diplomatic and world affairs."
Dowd also tasted a bit of Finnish culture during his trip, visiting the Finnish Sauna Society, a place where Finnish dignitaries go to relax and unwind.
"I had never [gone to] the Finnish sauna thing and it was a three-hour ordeal," he said. "That was actually a great place to ask more people about Finland's role in world affairs, because people chat in the sauna about all kinds of stuff."
While gaining a new outlook on Finnish international relations and cultural differences, Dowd frequently drew on his Georgetown experience during his travels.
"I was the youngest person recruited on the trip, and I was able to really have a successful cross-cultural experience because of the skill set I got at Georgetown," he said.

Testimony :: Coptic Solidarity
Statement for the Record - Coptic Solidarity
Coptic Solidarity – Statement Submitted for the Record
Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe
Hearing: Escalating Violence Against Coptic Women and Girls: Will the New Egypt Be More Dangerous Than the Old?
July 18, 2012
Mr. Chairman, thank you for holding this important hearing on "Escalating Violence Against Coptic Women and Girls: Will the New Egypt Be More Dangerous Than the Old?" Our organization is deeply appreciative of your leadership over the years in raising awareness of and strongly responding to religious freedom violations around the world, particularly in Egypt. We are grateful for your and other Members' efforts over the years - for giving us hope and for helping to bring concrete change in certain situations. The Coptic community also deeply appreciates your leadership on raising the profile of this issue in the US Congress, in the US and in the international community.
Tragically, the reporting suggests that there is an increase in the disappearance of Coptic girls and women. Over the past decade, Members of Congress have, in written and verbal requests, asked for assistance from both the U.S. and Egyptian Governments on this human rights violation, but sadly, not much action has occurred. Further, with the recent election of the Muslim Brotherhood candidate to the presidency in Egypt, there is concern that there will be even less of an incentive to solve the problem of these disappearances and prosecute those involved in any abductions, rape, coercive detention, forced marriage and forced conversions.
When the Coptic community raises cases and concerns, authorities dismiss the reported cases as mere "romance" between people of two different faiths. In reality, however, reports make clear that most of these "romances" are deliberately designed to lure Coptic girls away from their families. Moreover, reports in media accounts also make clear that when a romance - even if simply a rumored romance -takes place between a Coptic man and a Muslim girl, Muslim mobs invariably gather to attack Coptic communities and impose a collective punishment against any Copts in the area, even if those Copts have nothing to do with the alleged couple or their families.
Mr. Chairman, many in Egypt are living in great uncertainty and fear right now. While we wish that we could report that the Arab Spring has resulted in greater freedoms and protection for minorities in Egypt, the opposite is the case. As a result, patterns of impunity against criminals and human rights violators that occurred under the Mubarak regime have continued to this day and have gotten worse.
Many in the Coptic community and this Congress have been disturbed by the Administration's response to last year's hearings in July and December regarding Egypt. Members of Congress specifically requested information detailing the Administration's actions on behalf of the Coptic community in Egypt. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no information shared, and the Administration has even appeared to be reticent to raise these issues with the Egyptian Government. This is disturbing, particularly when the United States is seen as a beacon of hope that shines the light on atrocities and human rights violations around the world. When the Executive Branch does not shine or is not willing to shine the light on violations against minorities in a strategic region of the world, it leaves the minority community, the Copts in this case, wondering whether or not the United States is still a beacon of hope. It seems to many in Egypt that, per numerous media reports over the last month or two, the U.S. is pushing for "civilian" rule by Islamists to the detriment of the minority community and secular, liberal Muslims.
We remain deeply concerned that this Administration and the international community are ignoring a massive human rights violation. While the world rightly draws attention to those killed or displaced in conflict zones, it is ignoring the hundreds of documented cases of disappearances of women and girls in Egypt. What will it take for the international community to pay attention and take this issue seriously?
Mr. Chairman, we are deeply grateful for your and other Members' attention to and tireless efforts to shine a light on the plight of Coptic women and girls. We would urge the Administration and the international community to support you and others who are working to bring change to Egypt that will impact all Egyptians for good.
• The Government of Egypt should take concrete steps to ensure that minority communities are protected and that the real perpetrators of attacks are swiftly and strongly prosecuted; this includes those involved, at all levels, in the luring, abducting, rape, detention, forced marriage and forcible conversion of Coptic women and girls.
• The U.S. Senate should immediately pass S. 1245 which establishes a Special Envoy for minorities in the Middle East.
• The U.S. Government should establish a public list to name those involved in disappearances and kidnappings at any level of Egyptian society or government. This list should then be used to ensure that there is a ban visas and travel to the U.S. for anyone in Egypt involved in these criminal acts. While this may be difficult to implement immediately, the U.S. could assist in setting up a mechanism that would allow for kidnapping victims to securely report information on their captors.
• The US government should press the Egyptian Government to immediately end the "hate discourse" in educational curricula and media, and highlight the foundational role of Copts in Egyptian history. Over the long term, this will assist in mitigating the current views that some in Egypt hold about minorities being second class citizens.

Availability: In Stock
For the Fisherman who is tired of scaling fish by hand after a good day of fishing, and for the person who is tired of cleaning scales off the walls, floors, & clothes. The "Tumble Drumm™ Fish Scaler" is an investment that will make that unpleasant chore of scaling fish, easy and clean. This automatic fish scaler is very portable, easy to operate and will super clean your fish indoors or out with absolutely no mess.
Patented Design
To operate
, simply lift the latch to open the door. Then pour approximately 3 gallons of water into the tank of the scaler. The water level should be about 1/8" up from the bottom of the scaler drum. Insert about 20 to 30 fish of comparable size - approximately 9" to 10" in length. Close, latch the door, plug unit into 120 volt outlet, and let it run for about 10-20 minutes. After the fish are scaled, simply lift the drum out, open the door, and pour the fish out. The scales will wash through the larger holes in the drum and settle to the bottom of the tank during scaler operation. This leaves the fish free of scales, dirt or slime. Then, simply empty the contents of scales and water, and rinse the drum and tank.

This is an exciting cooperative game where only quick harvesting of the trees carrying cherries, apples, pears and plums prevents the snitching of fruits by the brazen raven. All players work together to harvest the fruit and defeat the raven.
This classic game for 2 or more players teaches color recognition and cooperation. All players win or lose together. A great game to help children work together to solve a problem. Made by Haba in Germany. Ages 3+.
What makes this game so perfect is that it is a mini version of the larger table game and comes in a 4 x 5 1/2 inch closable tin so it is great for keeping in the car, packing in your beach bag or suitcase....so the children will always have something to do!

Norwich have completed their sixth signing of the close-season by bringing Leroy Fer to the club.
The midfielder joins on a four-year deal from Dutch club Twente, subject to international clearance.
He becomes the latest arrival in a busy few weeks at Carrow Road, joining fellow new recruits Javier Garrido, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Nathan Redmond, Carlo Nash and Martin Olsson.
Fer, who has played for the Netherlands at every level, was a mainstay of the Twente midfield during his time in Enschende, making 71 appearances and scoring 21 goals.
Manager Chris Hughton was quick to express his delight at securing a player of Fer's calibre.
"We are really pleased to have acquired the signature of a player with the qualities that Leroy has," he told the club's official website.
"He's a very versatile Dutch international and at 23 he has that pleasing balance of having acquired experience playing over 100 games in the Dutch League - but still having plenty of time ahead of him to continue his development as a player here with us at Norwich City."

Everyday skin care products help you remove impurities, fight blemishes, and retain moisture. However, they do not treat every skin problem.

U.S. Helsinki Commission to hold briefing on Azerbaijan
(Washington, DC) The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (U.S. Helsinki Commission) today announced the following briefing:
Troubled Partner: Growing Authoritarianism in Azerbaijan
Tuesday, July 16, 2013
2:00 p.m.
Capitol Visitor Center, Senate Room 201-00
The United States and Azerbaijan have many shared interests and cooperate on many issues, including energy and regional security. There is growing concern, however, about the current political situation in Azerbaijan. Trends include reported intimidation, arrests, and use of force against journalists and human rights activists; tough new NGO registration requirements; legal restrictions on the Internet, including criminalizing online "libel" and "abuse"; restrictions on freedom of assembly, forceful dispersion of unsanctioned protests, detention of demonstrators; and unfair administration of justice, including arbitrary arrest and detention, politically motivated imprisonment, lack of due process, lengthy pre-trial detention, and executive interference in the judiciary.
Azerbaijan will hold a presidential election in October of this year. This briefing is an opportunity to discuss current events in Azerbaijan and the prospects for a free and fair election.
The following witnesses are scheduled to testify:
Mr. Thomas Melia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor, U.S. Department of State
A representative of the Government of Azerbaijan

The body undergoes numerous changes through the natural process of aging. Among the most noticeable and troubling of these are skin changes, many of which stem from reductions in the levels of a protein known as elastin, which is found in abundance within the tissue of young, healthy skin. Without ample elastin to tone, firm and provide necessary structure, the skin begins to lose elasticity. Over time, this decreased elasticity can result in wrinkles and sagging, particularly in delicate areas like around the eyes. The Obagi ELASTIderm line was created with a thorough understanding of the importance of elasticity to retaining youthful-looking skin.
Specially formulated to target the vulnerable, soft skin around the eyes, the Obagi ELASTIderm line helps the body naturally replenish elastin supplies. With regular use, the Obagi ELASTIderm line helps firm and tone the skin around the eyes, making it appear years younger. The unique bi-mineral complex contained in the Obagi ELASTIderm line is powerful enough to combat even the finest of lines and wrinkles, but mild enough for use every day without fear of redness or irritation.
The elastin protein is a crucial component to the skin, assisting vital collagen with providing tone and strength to tissues. The Obagi ELASTIderm line promotes the production of elastin in troubled skin around the eyes. The safe, effective formula is proven to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for tight, lifted skin at the corners of and underneath the eyes.
Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Treatment Cream contains revolutionary Penetrating Therapeutics to deliver its powerful bi-mineral complex deep within the delicate skin around the eyes to strengthen and nourish. When used after cleansing at night, the cream begins to show noticeable results within two weeks. Within nine weeks, users notice up to a 46 percent increase in skin elasticity with a 16 percent decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
Obagi ELASTIderm Eye Gel is an easy to use, daily formula that helps improve skin tone around the eyes by promoting the regeneration of elastin. Designed for application every morning, the gel contains a multitude of natural ingredients to revitalize and tone. Among these powerful, natural elements is Vitamin E, which has long been praised for promoting skin health and firmness.
Obagi Elastilash Eyelash Solution is designed to lengthen, strengthen and plump up the eyelashes. Gliding on easily like mascara, the formula enhances the texture of the delicate lash line for noticeable results. The formula has been tested by both dermatologists and ophthalmologists to assure its absolute safety for daily use.

Artists always sign their work, and David Yurman is no exception. Cable is his signature, the unifying element of every collection. It shapes every design, creating movement, texture, and depth. In Cable, David's signature is unmistakable and inimitable.
"There's a life rhythm within Cable," David Yurman says about the unifying element that runs through everything he creates. "Any place we use it, it's about bringing a certain life to the form." It started with the celebrated bracelet, and found its way into earrings, necklaces, and more. Sometimes, you'll find Cable in surprising places—the inside of a ring, the back of a pendant—where only you can see it.

Albany must help with local school repairs
1 2 3 Next page >
The suffering of children is often overlooked when adults discuss the havoc wrought by Hurricane Sandy. While there is justifiable focus on rebuilding homes, replacing cars, getting hospitals back in service, restoring businesses and fixing roads and utilities — even on designing new boardwalks — less attention is paid to the catastrophic impact Sandy had, and continues to have, on our schools.
Several school districts in our area are faced with the tremendous task of rebuilding schools and district infrastructure, replacing equipment and restoring the educational environment students and teachers depend on. Many repairs have already been completed, but paying for the work is still a critical issue.
We think Albany has a responsibility to help, and has the federal funds to do it.
Lawrence High School was the most heavily damaged of that district's five schools. Flooding from Sandy created two sink holes, left the auditorium a huge mess and wreaked havoc with the electrical system. The high school has been closed since Jan. 15, and its students, teachers and administrators were relocated to the middle school. As a result, the district's fifth- and sixth-graders had to be moved to two district elementary schools.
In the Long Beach district, the high school gym was severely damaged, and there was widespread flooding in the middle school and Lido Elementary. Lindell Elementary took on water as well, and East Elementary's gym floor needed major repairs. The flooding in West Elementary was up to four feet deep, while the administration building and Blackheath Pre-K are beyond repair and will be condemned.
In Oceanside, there was millions of dollars' worth of damage, with elementary schools 4, 8 and 9E, and the middle school, 9M, hit hard. Most musical instruments were lost, many interactive whiteboards needed to be replaced, and textbooks and library materials were wiped out. The boiler in School 8 was destroyed, and there were damaged walls and floors everywhere.

The Canadian Senate and House of Commons hosted the Global Conference of Parliamentarians against Corruption held in Ottawa, Canada October 13-16, 2002. The assembly brought together more than 150 parliamentarians from 50 countries to review strategies aimed at enhancing integrity and building capacity within individual parliaments in order to promote good governance worldwide.
Participants in the conference officially launched the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC).
In addition to officially launching GOPAC the conference had several objectives. First, those assembled sought to develop an improved and shared understanding of how parliamentarians can be more effective in promoting accountability, transparency and participation in governance – and therefore promote integrity and combat corruption. Second, they developed a broader consensus as to how a global organization of parliamentarians can best support individual parliamentarians in becoming more effective in doing so. Participants addressed these themes through a series of three workshops focusing on: the role of the individual member of parliament, the oversight role of parliaments, and the institutional integrity of parliaments.
Each of the working groups approached the challenge of promoting transparency from a particular perspective; nevertheless, some common recommendations emerged including:
Many delegates from developing countries noted particularly the lack of accountability with respect to international institutions and called for transparency in the work of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Specifically, many parliamentarians called on these international financial institutions to better inform the citizens of recipient countries about the scope and purpose of loans and projects as well as an official follow-up reporting mechanism which would rate the success of each project and provide an audit of funds.
Debate in the plenary sessions revolved around the number and nature of regional groupings, and adopting a constitution for the organization which had been drafted by the Parliamentary Centre of Canada, and proposed by the organizer of the conference, John Williams, MP from Canada. Ultimately, participants organized themselves into fourteen regional groupings and elected a Board of Directors and an Executive Committee. Although a constitution was adopted at this first global conference, members felt that several key provisions needed to be addressed and agreed to propose constitutional changes to be considered at the next Conference, scheduled for 2004.
In the interim, the Parliamentary Centre of Canada serves as the GOPAC secretariat and maintains its website at www.parlcent.ca/anticorruption/gopac. National and regional chapters will look to the Centre for information sharing, providing research on best practices and liaison with other international organizations.
The United States Helsinki Commission, an independent federal agency, by law monitors and encourages progress in implementing provisions of the Helsinki Accords. The Commission, created in 1976, is composed of nine Senators, nine Representatives and one official each from the Departments of State, Defense and Commerce.

Anal atresia is a condition that a baby is born with. It is a problem with the development of the anus and the part of the intestine leading to the anus. Anal atresia can make it difficult or impossible for the child to pass stool. The specific problems can vary but may include:
- Anal opening is too narrow or in the wrong place
- Membrane covers the anal opening
- Intestines are not connected to the anus
- An abnormal connection between the intestines and urinary systems, allowing stool to pass through the urinary system
Most of the time, anal atresia can be corrected.
An unborn baby's intestines develop during weeks 5-7 of pregnancy. A disturbance in this development causes anal atresia. The exact reason for the disturbance isn't clear.
Risk Factors
Anal atresia happens in boys twice as often as girls. It may also occur with other birth defects. The use of steroid inhalers by the mother during pregnancy may be linked to anal atresia.
If your baby has anal atresia, symptoms may include:
- No anal opening present at birth
- Anal opening in the wrong location
- No stool within 24-48 hours after birth
- Stool being excreted through the vagina, penis, scrotum, or urethra
- Vomiting
- Tight, swollen abdomen
Milder anal atresia may not be apparent until later in life. It may show as a lack of bowel control by age 3.
You will be asked about your baby's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Images may be taken of your baby's bodily structures. This can be done with:
Talk with your child's doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Treatment options include:
Surgery may be an option to correct the anal atresia. The exact surgery will depend on the defects that are present. Options include:
- Surgery to connect the anus and intestine
- Anoplasty to move the anus to the correct location
- Colostomy to attach a part of the intestine to an opening in the wall of the abdomen to allow waste to pass into a bag outside of the body

These rattles are handmade for us on an organic farm nestled in a small valley on the West Coast of the United States. They make a gentle sound when shaken.
The wood used to make these treasures was remnant wood of Oregon. No living trees were cut for the intention of creating these fine rattles. Select wood type in the pull down menu.
Our Soothing Rattles are child-safe and are finished with a non-toxic, food-safe finish of Clapham's natural beeswax - a great gift for all ages. USA.
Woods Shown from Left to Right are: Maple, Cherry, Medrone and Walnut. We also have Myrtle wood which is just a bit darker than Maple wood, but not much.
Welcome to the family, Jasper! He just can't get enough of his Soothing Rattle now. Happy Teething!!

Rosacea is a natural condition, but so are earthquakes and tornadoes; that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. Pevonia Botanica RS2 Rosacea Products addresses symptoms of this common condition, particularly the redness, bumps and soreness. Erythema (skin redness) on the nose, cheeks and forehead is caused by teleangiectasia (dilation of blood vessels in the skin), so Pevonia Botanica RS2 Rosacea Products contain ingredients which have been shown to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin, regulate blood vessels and regenerate skin cells.
Odorless and non-toxic allantoin, derived from the comfrey plant, soothes while it gently loosens the outer layer of dead skin cells and stimulates skin rejuvenation. Green tea extract has similar qualities, with the added benefit of providing antiseptic protection from infection. Licorice root extract is also an inflammatory. Olibanum is also included in all Pevonia Botanica RS2 Rosacea Products. Steam distilled from the gum resin of the Boswellia carterii tree in India, it has been used for more than 5,000 years to soothe and cool the skin and strengthen blood vessels. You may know it better as franencense. Sorry, no myrrh or gold included.
The regimen used with Pevonia Botanica RS2 Rosacea Products is a multi-step process to cleanse, soothe and protect your skin. As with any skin care routine, it is important to begin with clean skin, but skin inflamed with rosacea is particularly sensitive. Hydrosoluble Pevonia RS2 Gentle Cleanser carefully removes dead skin cells from the surface along with environmental impurities that have become ingrained in the skin over time. The ingredients in the cleanser also soothe and cool the skin. French rose oil in particular has long been used to help calm the burning feeling in skin, while the green tea extract, allantoin and olibanum add to the soothing effect. Once the skin is cleansed, Pevonia RS2 Concentrate is applied and massaged gently into the skin to strengthen the capillaries, control the blotchiness and provide an additional cooling sensation. This concentrate not only includes French rose oil, but also contains chamomile flower extract, a traditional botanical anti-inflammatory essence.
Morning and evening application of Pevonia RS2 Care Cream continues the healing process. Sorbitol makes the cream velvety-smooth while helping the skin to retain moisture, an important consideration when treating damaged skin. Safflower seed oil, used for thousands of years as a lotion, is similar to the natural lipid components in human skin. As such, it relieves dryness without clogging pores or irritating follicles. The final step in the regimen is to wipe the face and neck with a cotton ball infused with alcohol-free Pevonia Rose RS2 Gentle Lotion.

I came across Ian?s cufflinks in a fairly unusual way.
I was doing an interview on Capital Radio and I had forgotten to put my normal cufflinks in. The radio presenter at the time put out a request on air to see if he could get me any. As luck would have it one of Ian?s friends was listening and arranged to have some sent in. Within an hour I had the most beautiful, hand made cufflinks and since then they are the only ones I wear. Ian has been making cufflinks for over 20 years and the level of workmanship is exceptional. In fact I love the cufflinks so much I've picked my favourite ones that Ian has made for me and they are available to buy here.
