Christmas cookie share
So I'm kind of a Lame-O. I love cookies but the only kind I bake as of late are the frozen Otis Spunkmeyer cookies that you can buy from Costco. They are soooo easy and so fast and so inexpensive. And best of all, they are SOOOO delicious!
LOL Jamie! I totally get that. I was trying to think of the cookies I made last year and come to find out, I only made cutouts and the frosting I made for them sucked! My hubby just HAD to remind me of how he frisbeed them into the woods last year. Thanks dear. However, that being said, my cookies have not always been like that. I swear! I'll share some *real* recipes from my stash.
Raspberry Cream Cheese Thumbprints
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup raspberry preserves
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar for decoration
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Cover, and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Roll tablespoonfuls of dough into balls, and place them 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Using your finger, make an indention in the center of each ball, and fill with 1/2 teaspoon of apricot preserves.
Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
**I don't use lemon zest. It really doesn't effect anything if you ask me.**

Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM vs Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A
Adding either of these Sigma 50mm F1.4s camera lenses to your kit is a great idea. Is the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A or 50mm F1.4 EC DG HSM right for you?
Adding either of these Sigma 50mm F1.4s camera lenses to your kit is a great idea. Is the Sigma 50mm F1.4 DG HSM | A or 50mm F1.4 EC DG HSM right for you?
There is one question that is asked of me most often when I am teaching photography. That question is "Which lens is your favorite"? That's such a terribly difficult question for me to answer. Lenses are like children, I love them all and hate to play favorites.
All kidding aside, I carry 5 lenses with me everywhere I go. Sigma's 35mm F1.4, 50mm F1.4, 85mm F1.4, 24-70mm F2.8 and the 70-200mm F2.8. Most of my boudoir shoots are done in studio. My studio is very small (about 10'x10') so I most often shoot with my 50mm due to size constraints. What if I want to take my client out to the rooftop though? (I'm bringing out the 70-200mm for that!) or into the vestibule (only the 24-70mm will do there). I would be unprepared without the other lenses.
Prime lenses are designed for exceptional imaging at a single focal length. Unlike zoom lenses that easily span a given focal range and variable field of view with a twist of the zoom ring, the field of view and focal length remains constant. If you want to take in less of the surroundings with a given prime lens, you've got to physically move closer, and to take in more of the scene, you've got to back up. But of course, as you move, the angle of view remains the same all the while.
We know that many of our fans won't be able to trek to the Javitz Center for PPE2012 to share in this excitement in person, so we've created a special "Explore the Global Vision" sweepstakes. All you've got to do to be entered for a chance to win a Sigma 50mm F1.4 EX DG HSM lens is answer three questions about the Sigma Global Vision, which you'll be able to find on the special Sigma Global Vision site.
Check out the B&H Insights blog for your chance to win a Sigma 50mm f1.4 EX DG HSM lens in your choice of available lensmount!

7 move toward filing suit over Milwaukee police searches
Action comes as investigation of tactics continues
Seven people who say they were illegally searched by the Milwaukee police have taken the first step toward filing civil suits, contending their constitutional rights were violated.
Among the complainants are a man who sought emergency room treatment for rectal bleeding after a cavity search, a woman who says a female officer aggressively grabbed her breasts in front of male officers and a man who says a group of officers broke down his door and searched his house without cause.
The city did not adequately train, supervise or control its officers and failed to punish officers previously engaged in similar behavior, according to notices of injury filed Friday with the city. Under state law, such notices must be filed in advance of a lawsuit.
The city and Police Department contributed to the civil rights violations by promoting "a belief that police actions will never be scrutinized and/or prosecuted; and by encouraging 'misplaced loyalties' and a 'Code of Silence' among police officers in refusing to report unlawful actions by police officers and by refusing to cooperate with officials investigating unlawful actions by police officers," the notices say.
Some of the complaints listed in the documents are part of a John Doe investigation into allegations that seven officers and a supervisor may have sexually assaulted people and violated their civil rights while conducting rectal searches for drugs. Milwaukee County prosecutors are conducting the John Doe, an investigation in which they can compel testimony and subpoena documents without public knowledge.
Simultaneously, the civilian Fire and Police Commission and the department's internal affairs division are reviewing a list of complaints dating back a couple of years. Federal officials are closely monitoring the process, as is the Milwaukee Common Council.
The eight police personnel, previously assigned to District 5, were reassigned and stripped of their badges and guns in March pending the outcome of the investigation.
Since the investigation began, at least two drug dealing charges have been thrown out amid allegations that the evidence was obtained illegally. In one of those cases, the questionable search occurred in District 7. The District 7 police report, obtained by the Journal Sentinel, shows that officers not involved in the questionable searches knew about them and that such searches occurred outside District 5, where the initial investigation began.
Deputy City Attorney Rudolph Konrad said Monday he had not yet seen the notices and could not comment on pending or threatened litigation. Department spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz did not respond to an emailed request for comment. Officers named in the documents either did not respond to emails or could not be reached via email.
Attorney Jonathan Safran, who represents the seven complainants, called the alleged civil rights violations "humiliating and dehumanizing."
"The information we have obtained would support the fact that these types of violations have been occurring for a number of years by City of Milwaukee police officers," he said. "It is also obvious that City of Milwaukee police officers, beyond only the 5th District, have been aware of and participating in these violations, despite them being clearly against Police Department rules, policies and procedures, and Wisconsin statutes."
Five of Safran's clients allege they were injured during cavity searches involving rectal penetration - one of them twice. Two of them also say police illegally seized money.
Rules for cavity searches
Both state law and Milwaukee Police Department policy prohibit police officers from doing a cavity search under any circumstances. Such searches can be performed only by a doctor, physician's assistant or registered nurse. Done improperly, they could be construed as sexual assaults.
The woman whose breasts were grabbed by an officer is alleging an illegal strip search.
Under state law, a strip search is defined as "a search in which a detained person's genitals, pubic area, buttock or anus, or a detained female person's breast, is uncovered and either is exposed to view or is touched by a person conducting the search."
Strip searches may not be conducted in public. If a woman is being searched, male officers may not be present, and vice versa.
Before doing a strip search, an officer must get written permission from either the police chief or a supervisor - unless the officer expects to find a weapon. After the search, the officer is required to fill out a report that lists the names of the officers involved and the time and place of the search. The officer is required to give a copy of that report and of the written authorization to the detainee.
An improper strip search is illegal and carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 for the officer who conducted it.
The woman also alleges that police illegally searched her car, causing $2,000 in damage.
At a March 22 news conference, a reporter asked Police Chief Edward Flynn to spell out acceptable search procedures.
"There are a lot of gradations here," Flynn replied. "I'm not making any excuses for anybody. Just speaking in theory, these are dynamic situations in which people are moving assertively, trying to ascertain if there's a threat to them or if somebody is holding contraband. There are things you can do that come close to being a body cavity search but aren't, and there are things you can't do."
The department tries to draw clear lines between what is allowed and what is not, he said.
"And if we're on the wrong side of those clear lines, we've got to get a handle on it, rapidly," he said. "At the very least, it's a serious, serious training issue, for crying out loud, but if we're in fact violating that policy willfully, then we've got to take appropriate action."
Flynn never explained where those lines are.
The notices of injury do not list specific dollar amounts for the damages sought, which is typical. But settlements and jury verdicts in civil rights cases can be substantial. For example, the City of Beloit recently settled a federal civil suit for $265,000 after a teenage boy claimed police violated his constitutional rights by strip-searching him on the street and slamming his head into a car window.
Illegal search claims
March 3, 2011. Officer Michael Vagnini, in the presence of other unidentified officers, is accused of conducting a strip search and a cavity search on a man near N. 27th St. and W. Atkinson Ave. The same man alleges that Vagnini again conducted a strip search and cavity search on July 7, 2011, in the booking room at District 7 in the presence of Officer Stephanie Seitz and other unidentified officers.
July 7, 2011. Vagnini, in the presence of Seitz or Officer Stephanie Piekarski and other unidentified officers, is accused of conducting a strip search and cavity search on a second man in the booking room at District 7.
Aug. 12, 2011. Vagnini, in the presence of Officers John Shipman, Jacob Knight, Jeffrey Cline, Paul Martinez and Gregory Kuspa, and possibly other unidentified officers, is accused of conducting a strip search and cavity search during a traffic stop in the 3900 block of N. 22nd St.
Feb. 26, 2012. Unidentified officers are accused of conducting a strip search and cavity search, as well as illegally seizing money from a man in the 3500 block of N. 10th St.
Feb. 26, 2012. Unidentified officers are accused of conducting a strip search and cavity search on a second man in the 3500 block of N. 10th St. The man sought treatment for rectal bleeding.
Feb. 29, 2012. Sgt. Jason Mucha and Officers Shawn Burger, Brian Burch, Daniel Knitter, Lori Kowalefski, Paul Vento, Daniel Vandervest, Joseph Szcyubialka, Joseph Serio, Vagnini and other unidentified officers are accused of breaking into and searching the home of Marvin Ealy in the 3300 block of N. 26th St. without reasonable suspicion of a crime. Ealy is not alleging a strip search or cavity search.
March 19, 2012. Officer Angela Juarez is accused of aggressively grabbing a woman's breasts in full view of other unidentified officers in the 3000 block of N. 13th St. The woman also claims unidentified officers illegally searched her car, resulting in $2,000 worth of damage.

Good idea but doesn't work for all fonts and all browsers. I stopped using it and instead use font-face and local storing of fonts. 100% reliable in all browsers.
Tonight I noticed there was a new version of this plug-in and foolishly (without thinking) - I updated. My blog is fairly new and I'd been playing with different script fonts, finally settling on one I really liked and FORGOT to write the name down. Now it's gone, and while this is a small thing, it's frustrating. Basically this is just a head ups to make sure you know all the fonts you're using before updating the plugin so you don't go through what I just went through. As well if you have any custom css in those boxes, better make note of that as well.

We're all searching for the right diet product. We've heard rumblings about ACE, so we concentrated on the ingredients, side effects, scientific research and customer support. Furthermore, we picked apart hundreds of consumer reviews and comments. We then summarized and refined to give you the info you need
What You Need to Know
First off, ACE is a dietary supplement containing chromium, garcinia cambogia, green coffee bean, konjac, l-carnitine, phenylethylamine, raspberry ketones, saffron extract, vanadium, and B-vitamins. The recommended dose is one capsule, once per day, which supposedly increases weight-loss. One of the benefits is ease of use.
The product, introduced as a weight-loss supplement in 2001 by AMS Health Sciences, appears to use some natural ingredients, a good start. It's available on the official website and through trusted retailers. We do like that the company has a strong foothold in the industry and there are some favorable customer comments, but read on…
Ineffectiveness – "Not the Same Formula?"
The first concern we had regarding ACE ingredients was ineffectiveness. "When a company touts its formula as one of the best in the industry, customers want proof," says our Research Editor. "If a supplement doesn't live up to promises, consumers will run away and never look back."
"This 'new and improved' formula lacks the appetite control and energy the original formula held. Disappointed," said one user.
"It was not exactly what I hoped it was going to be, didn't curb appetite or give energy for me," commented another.
You have to look at the whole story, so we needed to offer up some positive experiences as well. According to one dieter, "It does seem to control my appetite while at the same time increasing energy."
Another didn't necessarily dislike ACE, "The new formula doesn't give you the energy as the old but I have been able to maintain my weight."
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
FDA Judgments – "A Major Concern"
In July 2014 the FDA sent a warning letter to AMS Health Sciences, the company behind ACE. The statement claimed the website marketed supplements as drugs, which is illegal. It appears all violations have since been resolved.
Side Effects – "Worrisome?"
According to multiple complaints, ACE ingredients cause side effects. "About an hour after taking them I had became dizzy and nauseous," said a customer.
"I was taking only 1 pill a day also made my heart flutter. I will not be using this anymore," commented a dieter.
"Feel clammy and sweaty and sick to my stomach," offered user.
We found far more negative reactions than positive, but we did stumble on a few people who didn't notice harmful changes. As one dieter put it, "Didn't help me at all. But there wasn't any side effects which was good."
Another simply said, "It doesn't have any side effects."
Our research has shown it takes just one small issue, like side effects, to put a damper on long-term success. If ACE does leave the dieter feeling worse for the wear, this could be a problem.
The Science – "Valid?"
While the ACE website makes the claim that the supplement contains the "most effective" ingredients on the market, we couldn't locate supporting clinical studies linking the formula to weight-loss. A few come with some backing, but there is also raspberry ketones, which is nothing more than a "fad". At DietSpotlight, finding scientific research is critical. If the business can't provide specific proof, we have to call them on it.
The Bottom Line – Does ACE Work?
So, we're here to tell you just the facts. After taking a comprehensive look at ACE, we reached a conclusion. There are some positives, like the length of time the company has been in business and we noticed a few favorable comments, but we have reservations recommending it because of the lack of scientific research supporting weight-loss. Plus, we have concerns about the FDA judgments and the fact that the formula contains raspberry ketones, often included in "fad" supplements with no concrete clinical backing.
If you'd like to get into shape, we recommend going with a supplement that is both effective and side effect free. A great price is another plus.
Among the best products we've seen in 2016 is one called Leptigen. The four-ingredient proprietary blend has been shown in published studies to help increase fat loss and ignite metabolism. There's no one talking about adverse side effects and reviews on the web highlight people seeing exceptional results.
The company behind Leptigen is confident in the product, so they're providing a Special Trial Offer, an excellent decision.

On 20 August 2012, ISLLC made a partially unauthorized withdrawal from my personal checking account for the amount of $1,083.90, to which only $541.95 was authorized. Upon immediate discovery of the incorrect amount on 20 August at 14:40, I contacted Julie at ISLLC in order to rectify the incorrect amount withdrawn. Julie said that in order to return the unauthorized amount, I would need my bank, First National Bank of Muscatine (FNB), send an affidavit letter requesting the unauthorized amount of $541.95 to be returned to my checking account. FNB faxed said letter the morning of 21 August to ISLLC, and then $1,083.90 was returned to my checking account that same day.
Then, on 24 August 2012, ISLLC made a wholly unauthorized withdrawal from my personal checking account for the amount of $1,083.90. Upon discovery on 28 August at 19:41, I contacted ISLLC and spoke to Audrey in order to rectify the withdrawal. Audrey agreed that the withdrawal shouldnt have happened, but needed more time to review. I explained that time was of the essence, and that I needed the money returned to my checking account by the end of the week in order to be able to pay my mortgage and other bills due. On 29 August at 17:54, Audrey called me and said that in order to return the money, an affidavit letter was needed from my bank, and once received, ISLLC would return the money by the end of the week. She insisted a second letter be sent, even though confirming an existing one was already on file. She also requested a letter from me acknowledging a past due status on my account upon returning the funds. On 30 August, an affidavit letter and a letter of acknowledgement were both faxed to ISLLC.
On 31 August at 10:13, Audrey from ISLLC left a voicemail stating they hadnt received a letter from FNB. I contacted FNB who confirmed the letter was faxed via a fax confirmation on file. FNB agreed to resend the fax to ISLLC. At 15:13, I received a call from Myneka, who confirmed receipt of the letter from FNB, but stated the format for the letter was incorrect. She said that another letter was needed to confirm the amount of $1083.90 would clear the bank, even though the funds had already cleared on 24 August. At approximately 16:30, FNB faxed the aforementioned letter to ISLLC.
Then, I received a letter from ISLLC dated 05 September 2012 stating that all of my loans were seven (7) days delinquent for a total amount of $541.95. This shows that none of the money was applied to my loans, even though ISLLC withdrew the money from my personal checking account. I called ISLLC on 31 August, and according to Cherry, my account was current. This shows that ISLLC's internal records do not match, disproving ISLLC's claim that it is the consumer's fault that these things happen.
I filed a complaint with the Iowa Attorney General, and an AAG was assigned to the case. Through several attempts over several weeks, the AAG was unable to get the money returned to me, despite internal auditing through the Iowa College of Student Aid Commission. Even threats of sending the file to the Consumer Protection Division couldn't get ISLLC to budge. My records show a clear picture of dishonesty, theft and lies on the part of ISLLC, especially from the Loan Servicing Manager at ISLLC--Janine.
The case is now open, and in the hands of Consumer Protection Division of the Iowa Department of Justice.

Goals from Neill Collins and Michael Doyle gave the Blades a first victory since the opening weekend of the campaign and dragged the South Yorkshire side off the foot of the Sky Bet League One table and out of the bottom three ahead of Tuesday night's trip to high-flying Peterborough.
Vale, who levelled through Adams Yates, played the majority of the game with 10-men after Daniel Jones received a red card for two bookable offence after only 20 minutes.
Morgan said: "It's a big thing for us to get that win and a massive thing for us to get out of the relegation zone.
"But what we have to remember is that it is only one win. We have to carry on recording those results and trying to continually improve.
"However, I thought the attitude the lads showed out there was excellent. They really did put in a shift.
"First and foremost, no matter how good you are, that's what you have to do"
Morgan, who is "unsure" when United will appoint a manager on a permanent basis, added: "All I know is that the club are working hard behind the scenes.
"The thing we are focusing on is preparing for and trying to win games.
"Whoever comes in, whoever takes over, we want to leave it in as good a shape as possible. That's the aim and that's what we are working towards.
"No job is easy. Especially when you are at the wrong end of the table as we still are.
"But when you look around this place, see the crowd and the facilities, it's a great job to have and a great club to be at. You really couldn't ask for more."

Roach: Strategy Worked, But Chavez Needs To Box More
By Salvador Rodriguez
Saturday night's performance by Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (45-0-1, 31KOs) left his trainer, Freddie Roach, convinced that their pre-fight strategy worked. Chavez won a twelve round unanimous decision over Marco Antonio Rubio at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Chavez was making the second defense of his WBC middleweight title.
Roach appeared to be a little surprised with Rubio's ability to take Chavez's hard punches. Chavez struggled tro make the middleweight limit, and weighed 181-pounds on the night of the fight, but kept a very steady pace until the end of the fight.
"He lacked a little bit of boxing in the fight. Julio is a good fighter, so the things that we did in the gym, I liked how it worked in the ring. I would just like to see him throw his jab more, use his distance. Rubio is a tough fighter, he took a lot of hard punches from Julio and the fight turned out as expected. Rubio is a fighter who hits hard and that makes him dangerous, but in the end everything turned out fine," Roach said.
Salvador Rodriguez covers boxing in Mexico for The Record.
Roach needs to work on Chavez landing that jab to setup his combos. He also needs to work on his footwork and move side to side and the kid will get to the big names. Bob Arum will put him…Comment by Alpha & Omega on 02-06-2012

Integrity testing has been the subject of public discussion in Serbia since 2012. The Law on Police, which introduced three preventive anti-corruption measures, including the integrity test, was enacted four years later.
The coalition prEUgovor has been monitoring Serbia's progress in regard to the adherence to political criteria for EU membership and policies covered under Chapters 23 (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights) and 24 (Justice, Freedom and Security) of the European acquis in the negotiation process.
BCSP Junior Researcher Isidora Stakic presents comparative analysis of citizens perceptions of personal safety and security at the local level in Albania, Kosovo and Serbia.
In this study we explored how the incomplete demarcation process influences local communities and what their priorities are concerning this issue.
It has been five years since Serbia and Montenegro became separate countries. The process of demarcating the border between two countries started in 2008 when a commission for delimitation was created. The negotiations halted when Montenegro recognized Kosovo's independence, because Serbia did not want to take part in negotiations about borders if Kosovo was not included in the process as part of Serbia. Negotiations resumed in March 2011, but there is still a long way to go in order to reach an agreement on state borders.
People living in the border areas have still not got used to crossing the border at border crossings and still have difficulties getting used to procedures for selling goods from Serbia in Montenegro. Other problems they face are related to underdevelopment and migration.
BCSP will soon address authorities in Serbia and Montenegro with a list of recommendations to improve this situation.
This case study is a product of project The People's Peacemaking Perspectives, a joint initiative implemented by Conciliation Resources and Saferworld and financed under the European Commission's Instrument for Stability.

Introduction & Types of Business
Finland is an easy place to do business, for foreign companies and entrepreneurs alike. Plenty of assistance is available. Over 6,500 Finnish businesses have been established by people who have moved from abroad.
Business can be conducted as a general partnership, a limited partnership, a limited liability company, a cooperative, or an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur, also known as self-employed or private trader, acts in their own name - they are not a 'company'.
Foreign companies most commonly conduct business through a limited liability company (osakeyhtiö, "Oy") or a Finnish branch office.
All new enterprises, including foreign companies starting up business in Finland, must submit a start-up notification to the trade register. The notification can also be used for registration in the employer register, prepayment register and/or VAT register. Details below
Note: Setting up as an entrepreneur impacts your pension and social security entitlements.

Registering a Business: The Finnish Trade Register
Administered by the Finnish Patent & Registration Office, the Trade Register is a public register containing information about businesses and companies in Finland. As a rule, all businesses have to be registered at the Trade Register.
Details can be obtained from the Trade Register concerning for
example the existence of a company, its articles
of association, its representatives, and submission of the
latest annual accounts for registration. Register entries
are accessible both to the public and to authorities.
Finnish Trade Register
Businesses also have to notify the register of any changes in their registered details, and most businesses must also submit their financial statements (annual accounts) to the register. This information also needs to be provided to the Finnish Tax Administration, but the procedure is simplified with the joint notification procedure. See next section, the Business Information System.
The Finnish Business Information System (YTJ / BIS)
The Business Information System (BIS) is jointly maintained by the The Finnish Patent and Registration Office and the Tax Administration.
BIS enables businesses to report their company information to both the above authorities in a single notification rather than submitting duplicate data to the Trade Register and the registers kept by the Tax Administration.
The Business Information System includes businesses and corporations entered into the
- Trade Register
- Register of Foundations
- VAT register
- Prepayment Register
- Employer Register or
- the Client Register of the Tax Administration.
Business ID / Y-tunnus
A new business will get a Business ID / Y-tunnus as soon as the start-up notification has been entered in the Business Information System. Once you start doing business, your Y-tunnus is very handy - like a Personal Identity Code / Henkilötunnus for your company.
Company Search
Using a Y-tunnus, company name or keyword, you can search detailed information about Finnish companies at
Business Information System > In English
Search results appear at bottom of page; click the Business ID for the business you're looking for. Apart from contact details you will see the company form, main lines of business, registrations in force, registration history, and more. This tool can help you make educated decisions about whether to deal with a company, and you can ensure the details of registration of your own company are correct.
Online Forms, Notices and Applications
The required notices and applications to the various registers are used by the Tax Administration and the National Board of Patents and Registration. They do not however need to be submitted to these authorities separately; through the Business Information System enterprises can report their information to both authorities using single notifications.
BIS offers bilingual English / Finnish versions of most notification forms to make completion easier. They are grouped as Start-up notifications, Notifications of changes, and Notifications of termination of business and are available for private traders, limited companies, general and limited partnerships and more.
Note: Even though these forms include English translations, they must by law be submitted in Finnish or Swedish!
Business Information System > In English > Notifications
Opening a Finnish Corporate Bank Account
Opening an account for your company is generally quite simple. Following are the documents typically required, but due to variances between banks you should confirm prior to your meeting. You may need to book an appointment in advance.
1. Extract from the Trade Register (no older than three months). If the company has not yet been registered, the extract from the Trade Register can be replaced by:
- a register certificate indicating that a declaration of establishment has been submitted
- documents of incorporation (for example for a limited company, memorandum of association, articles of association and the minutes of the constitutive meeting of shareholders)
2. An extract from the minutes of the company's decision-making body, which indicates the names of those officials of the company authorised to use the account and their authorizations, the decision to open an account, possible lending and submitting of collateral
3. An account of incoming and outgoing payments; their volume and the size of individual payments
4. An account of the company's operations (more detailed than the official line of business clause)
5. Other accounts (e.g. information on companies having shareholdings in the company etc.)
The required documents and information can be submitted either in Finnish, Swedish or English.
