The description of short term risks of our business operations are published in accordance with Metso's Interim Reviews.
Short-term business risks and market uncertainties
Uncertainties in economic growth and political developments globally might affect our customer industries, reduce the investment appetite and cut spending among our customers, and thereby weaken the demand for Metso's products and services and also affect business operations and projects under negotiation. There are also other market- or customer-related factors that may cause on-going projects to be postponed, delayed or discontinued.
Exchange rate fluctuations and changes in commodity prices might affect our order intake, sales and financial performance, although the wide scope of our operations limits the exposure to single currencies or commodities. Metso hedges currency exposure linked to firm delivery and purchase agreements. Higher raw material prices and labor costs might also be hard to promptly integrate into the prices of Metso's equipment, products and services.
Uncertain market conditions might adversely affect our customers' payment behavior and increase the risk of lawsuits, claims and disputes taken against Metso in various countries related to, among other things, Metso's products, projects and other operations.
One additional focus area continues to be information security and cyber threats which can potentially disturb or disrupt Metso's businesses and operations

In September 2015, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit. This Agenda is a plan of action for people, planet and prosperity. It recognizes that eradicating poverty in all its forms and dimensions, including extreme poverty, is the greatest global challenge and an indispensable requirement for sustainable development.
The world we live in requires us to understand others who are very different from us; in many cases, our future (and lives) depends upon it. Scholars in cognitive science, psychology, and neuroscience have recently argued that reading literary fiction can improve our empathetic understanding of other people. Literary fiction can arguably be a bridge between ourselves and the minds, intentions, and thoughts of others. This 1102 course will focus on how literary fiction engages our empathetic understanding of the world and others.
In Class, Power, and Inequality, students will explore the causes and consequences of economic inequality in the United States and abroad. In particular, this course will help students understand why inequality between individuals and communities occurs, with major focuses on changes in the economy and social forces like politics, culture, and religion. Further, we pay particular attention to how gender and race/ethnicity shape economic inequality.
This is a graduate course on development economics. The course will cover a wide range of topics including how communities differ in terms of: economic growth, poverty, inequality, and human development. The course will help students understand what do we mean by sustainable development, what are the problems in achieving it and how can we overcome those problems.

Do you ever feel so frustrated with your children's behavior you're tempted to reach out leave them with a few less teeth? Most parents do. If so, chances are you are in the midst of a power struggle and the child is winning. Children learn early how to push parents' buttons and get better with practice.

Longer Layers
Want to keep your thick hair in check, while keeping some length? One way is with the classic longer layers cut. First, the sides and back are trimmed. Then the top is cut with a scissors-and-comb cutting technique. It's then joined with the sides and back. Finally, this sharp style is finished with a cleaned-up, square neckline that brings together the overall look. Clean and trim without being boring, long layers offer a number of styling options so you can change up the look with the help of a product or two.
Apply Redken Guts 10 Volumizing Foam to damp hair, then use a firm bristle brush while blow drying, pulling the hair in the opposite direction that you want it to fall.
For a second look, apply Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam to damp hair, then brush hair over to the side and let it air dry.

Painted in red, the word "VON" is all that is left behind after a terrorist attack on a nuclear facility in Japan. The government is shattered by their inability to act, and the police are left frantically searching for ways to crack down the perpetrators. The public are clueless—until, six months later, a strange video makes its way onto the internet. In it, two teenage boys who identify themselves only as "Sphinx" directly challenge the police, threatening to cause destruction and mayhem across Tokyo. Unable to stop the mass panic quickly spreading through the city and desperate for any leads in their investigation, the police struggle to act effectively against these terrorists, with Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki caught in the middle of it all. Zankyou no Terror tells the story of Nine and Twelve, the two boys behind the masked figures of Sphinx. They should not exist, yet they stand strong in a world of deception and secrets while they make the city fall around them, all in the hopes of burying their own tragic truth.

Teekyuu is all about the wacky antics of four schoolgirls—Kanae Shinjou gets bored easily and often breaks the laws of physics to get what she wants; Nasuno Takamiya is incredibly rich and knows how to make things go her way; Marimo Bandou would probably get arrested from her actions like eating panties or kidnapping children; and Yuri Oshimoto, their ordinary junior, rounds out the eccentric bunch that forms the sole members of their school's tennis club. Despite their interest in learning the sport, the older girls prefer messing around, while Yuri, being the only one who actually knows how to play and the most mature in spite of being younger, has to deal with her seniors' out of control behavior. When these four girls come together, insanity ensues in this lightning-paced comedy about a tennis club that doesn't really play tennis. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Check out my latest essay 'Sarajevo Roses' in the new issue of @ThePuritan!
Remember last summer when my essay 'Sarajevo Roses' was long-listed for the 2015 CBC Canada Writes Creative Non-Fiction Prize? They even profiled me on the CBC website (#swag). Well now I've sold the piece to The Puritan! It appears in their new issue which dropped today! And, best of all, you can read the piece in its entirety on The Puritan website!
It's a piece about my time in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2008 when the former Serbian despot and war criminal Radovan Karadzic was finally arrested and transferred to The Hague to stand trial for crimes against humanity during the Yugoslav wars and the siege of Sarajevo. The Balkans have a special place in my heart, as I backpacked through the region at a time when you could still see war damage on every street. The former Yugoslav countries (I backpacked through Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Slovenia) hadn't yet applied for EU membership, and for many of them, tourism was brand-new, as they had just eased their visa-requirements. It felt like I was walking through an authentic European culture untouched (for the most part) by globalization, westernization, and homogenization.
This blog is so old, you can actually read my posts from my time there. Here's one from my time in Sarajevo and Mostar. There are photographs in that post of the actual Sarajevo Roses, and other things mentioned in The Puritan piece, like the destroyed Olympic bobsled track and the To Be Or Not To Be cafe.
It was really great working with the peeps at The Puritan, they were full of great ideas and had so many insights for my piece and how I should develop it. The issue looks nifty so check it out in full on their website!

Check out my new story in the latest issue of @EVENTMags!
I'm really excited to share that my non-fiction story, 'Spray It, Don't Say It,' has been published in the latest issue of Event Literary Magazine, that for decades has published the best short prose and poetry in the country. I have been trying to crack into Event for 10 years (they are notoriously selective!), so I was delighted when they snatched this up with such kind words for my voice and style. The piece is about my time as a waif on the streets of Europe, and specifically deals with this, where I blogged only peripherally about it at the time, so this story is the full story. Here's a scan of the first page to pique your interest:
And here's my EVENT bio. Awww yeeeeeeah, dis mah shit. This is only a slice of my publications, my full list of publications can be found here
You can pick up Event at any bookshop in the country. As always, don't forget to check out the official ChristineEstima dot com for more of my writing, performances, and recent news!

Pick up a copy of the weekend edition of Metro News and turn to the centrefold for my latest column. I talk about the language we employ when talking about race and ethnicity.
It was really great to work with the team at Metro, the whole process was very fast-paced and positive. It was such a challenge to put everything I wanted to say into a mere 400 words, I'm used to writing 1500-word essays, so I welcomed the challenge to be brief and succinct. BUT I'M SO LOQUACIOUS!
Also, funny sidenote: that photograph of me there… That was taken yesterday with my iPad as I sat in a café on Spadina. OH THE GLAMOUR.
Fanks for reading, my munchkins, and don't forget to check out ChristineEstima.com for more on my writing career.
CBC Canada Writes Competition: I made the Long-list!
I have been sitting on this news for A MONTH AND A HALF and haven't been able to publicly speak about it until now! I'm really great at secret-keeping you guys. Anyway, waaaaaay back in January I submitted a short creative non-fiction piece to the CBC Canada Writes Non-fiction competition. It's a piece about the time I spent in Sarajevo in 2008. I usually am not a big fan of entering writing contests because submission fees are usually beyond my means and competition is so stiff, it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. But this submission fee I could afford, and 2015 has been the Year of Christine's Hustle (aka I've busted my ass to get so many publications this year) so I decided to throw my hat in the ring. Really, my thought process of 2015 has pretty much been just, "Hey Chris, no guts, no glory. So just take a chance, dammit." And I am pleasantly surprised by how much the universe is willing to pay out if you just take chances. So imagine my surprise 7 months later when they contacted me to tell me I had made the long-list! They received over ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED submissions in the non-fiction category and I beat them out to land a place on the 32-person long-list!
I am so pleased! I'm so chuffed but also so humbled and obliged as well. I was sat in a café when I got the news and suddenly started saying OMIGOD OMIGOD OMIGOD then silly-giddy laughing. Hipsters were staring. You don't want to incur the wrath-stare of Café-Hipsters.
Later in September they will choose the finalists. If I recall correctly, five writers will receive cash prizes — 4 finalists will receive $1000 and the Grand Prize winner will get $6000 plus publication in enRoute Magazine plus a ten-day residency at The Banff Centre.
Those are pretty suh-weeeet prizes, and let's not forget that the word-limit for non-fiction this year was only 1500. $6000 for 1500 words, people! That's A LOT of money, that's $4 a word! It's a writer's dream!
Like I mentioned above, I have busted my hump this year as a writer. I have been hustling and hustling and pitching and pitching and submitting and revising and editing and scrapping and trying and trying again and again. I think the impetus behind the hustle was the previous two years that I spent down-and-out, homeless, and wandering the streets of Europe with an empty bank account and a bruised ego. It's only when you have nothing that you realize the world owes you no favours, and you gotta change your situation pronto. The hustle has mostly paid off, and even if I don't move forward in this competition, I am well-chuffed with the recognition. I'm so pleased I decided to just throw my hat in the ring and see what happens. And above all I'm pleased that the CBC supports the kind of writing I want to do. This recognition is most exciting.
AND, CBC is doing something different this year – they're profiling all the long-listed writers on their website! They've never done that before (methinks?). I had to send them a head-shot and bio and the works! Check me out up in hurrrrrr!!
So most gracious thanks to the CBC Canada Writes peeps for giving me a chance to raise my profile as a writer and for supporting my writing style and voice. It's such an honour!
In related news, I have FOUR forthcoming publications with different literary and commercial magazines that I sold earlier this year, so watch this space. I will of course blog the snot out of them when they hit the shelves 🙂
And don't forget to check out my official website to peruse all of my published works and watch my performances!

#BlogHop! Confessions of a Fiction Writer: A Cautionary Tale
Recently I received a charming invitation to "blog hop" about my writing experience. How it works is: a blogger/writer blogs about their writing process, and then nominates three other blogger/writers to do the same… and so it goes. Oh the blogs you can hop through in this network!
I was nominated by writer and editor Rachel Stuckey to blog it like it's hot, a challenge I would never shy away from, and so now you get to read an insight into my life as a writer. If you're a writer like me, or you're interested in becoming one, hearing about the writing processes and habits of other writers is always invaluable information that you an apply to your own process.
I've done this before, a few years ago I was an invited panellist at my alma mater York University to speak about my experience in the writing and publishing industry. Here's a clip from that lecture, where I was telling the students how to go about getting funding and grants for their creative writing projects from Canadian funding bodies:
A lot of the other writers in this blog-hop are travel writers, which I am as well, but I also do fiction (novels and short stories), playwrighting, spoken word, music/film/theatre/book reviews, academic essays, interviews with notable personalities, and basically anything remotely related to writing that interests me, so I cover a lot of bases.
Anyway, enjoy my insights and writing-foibles!
What am I working on/writing?
I recently finished writing my second novel! I have been editing it with the help of some outside eyes and also in conjunction with my literary agent, and it is ready to be taken to the next level. I don't want to talk too much about this on here because I feel like it will jinx it, but when the "next level" has been achieved, I will blog the snot out of it, trust me. I have also been working on a whole bunch of short stories and have been submitting them to literary journals which, as any writer will tell you, carries a long waiting sentence before you receive word of acceptance or rejection. So while I wait patiently, I have already begun brewing in my head the concept for my next novel! Novel number three, here we go. This one will involve some historical figures and a lot of research, so for the foreseeable future, you can find me living in the library. Ah, Old-Book-Smell. How I love thee.
How does my work/writing differ from others of its genre?
My literary agent told me recently that the reason why he was so eager to sign me to his roster is because I am a "fearless" writer. Everybody wants to be a writer. Everybody wants to write the next great novel, but most of the time, they don't want to take the chances necessary to achieve such goals. My writing, first and foremost, has a distinct voice. I spent years crafting my style, my form, my content, and my voice. For some writers, all that stuff comes naturally. Not me. I am not naturally gifted like Kerouac or Keats. I have had to work for every writing-coup I've ever had. The structure of each sentence is a BIG DEAL to me. So when it comes to what I write about, and my style of writing, I have to be provocative, and take chances, and let the story go to places that make even me uncomfortable. There's no point in writing if you're not willing to be vulnerable.
Why do I write what I do?
Great question. I don't think anyone has ever asked me why I write fiction.
For as long as I can remember, I have always been a storyteller. I used to love crafting up little narratives in my head as a little girl and then telling Mum about them. When I was in Grade 4 and our English teacher gave us the assignment to write a short story, everyone turned in about 4 pages worth of writing. I turned in 40.
I always had my nose in a book, and would get huge book deliveries from Scholastic (remember Scholastic!!) every few weeks. I couldn't read enough, most of the time. And I always felt the urge to tell stories, especially when new concepts and ideas would pop into my head. I always preferred making up the stories, rather than telling true stories, so fiction naturally became my weapon of choice. By the time I was 12 years old, just the sight of a sharpened pencil and a huge stack of crisp loose-leaf paper would get me all giddy.
I guess I enjoy the freedom that fiction affords. The freedom to completely own the story that you tell, and the characters therein. I love the ability to fashion wild scenarios, and explore all the dark facets of human behaviour when stuck in such scenarios. Non-fiction and memoir have to be true and grounded in reality. Fiction is beholden to neither. That is just too tempting for such a dreamer like me.
When I got my first professional publication at the age of 18, I never looked back. I was hooked.
I double-majored Theatre Studies and Creative Writing in university, and returned to both subjects for my Masters degree. Since then, I have been published in literary anthologies, literary journals, travel anthologies, daily newspapers, weekly alternative magazines, glossy mags, national and international reviews, academic reviews, and even an encyclopedia. I've had about five plays produced, and I've lectured and performed at academic and creative conferences around the world.
How does my writing process work?
I actually have a strange writing process. Firstly, I absolutely need to write my first draft by hand.
Even though I type faster than I write.
Even though this means that I have to go through mounds and mounds of notebooks filled with messy scribblings, and arrows criss-crossing all over the page.
I cannot just stare at a blinking cursor and start to write. I need to have a pen in my hand and paper before me. I think this has to do with the actual act of writing. I see it as a violent act. The violence of pressing the pen nub into the paper and scratching your words into its surface, forever defacing it. There's something about the Violence of Writing, as I call it, that is required for me to tell a good story.
Secondly, I can't write at home. I need to be out in public.
Maybe because writing is such a solitary and isolating experience, that the sheer presence of others makes me feel less alone.
Maybe because there are too many distractions at home (like bed and Facebook….. mmmmm, Facebook in bed….sooo tempting).
Maybe because my stories are usually set in urban areas, so it requires me to be situated amongst the populous to inspire the descriptions about life in the metropolis…
Maybe because the word Writer is synonymous with Coffee Shop, and therefore one is always apt to find themselves amongst other writers down at their local latte-hole.
Who knows? All I know is that I'm weird, man.
Who's next?
I nominate Fran Harvey over at Bookworms and Coffee Monsters because she's just gotten her first poetry publication and is ON FIRE at the moment with writing and submissions and can surely offer some keen insight into her work and process.
Onto the next blog-hop!

Just when Disney seemed like they were already at the forefront of commercialized innovation, the company moves one step forward. Soft-body automatons could be the latest addition to the company's brand, according to new patent designs. The Orlando Sentinel recently reported that the Walt Disney Company filed a patent for "designing a robot that will move and physically interact like an animated character."
[Image Source: US Patent & Trademark Office]
Disney buffs might immediately think of films like Big Hero 6 and the squishy robot Baymax who perfectly fits that description.
"It's hard to know why Disney decides to file for a patent, but they have been looking at soft-body robots since 'Big Hero [6],'" said theme park writer Jim Hill in an interview with the Sentinel. "Disney is still terrified that even with this soft technology, a robot could accidentally harm a child. They do a lot of testing."
Currently, guests to the Walt Disney World park EPCOT in Orlando, Florida can meet Baymax, the squishy star of the blockbuster animated hit Big Hero 6.
(Yes, this is the writer excitedly hugging Baymax at EPCOT last year.)
However, the current setup of Baymax differs greatly from the "soft body 300" and "soft body 1000" prototypes.
The application includes pliable chambers that will either be filled with fluid or air. Those chambers would then react to pressure and adjust accordingly to respond to physical contact or collision. According to the patent, "reducing collision impacts during human interaction" is one of the key purposes behind the robot.
Soft robotics systems have been on Disney Research's radar for years. The most explicit display of their progress came from a 2015 video in which researchers tested 3D printed soft skin primed for robot-human interaction.
Or, maybe Disney would use the technology in their freshly acquired Star Wars universe? Maybe these robots won't show up in the parks but rather in films and on sets as any other actor. The patent seems to hint at a movie-based usage as well. The outer shape of the robot would be determined by "data obtained from a digital model of an animated (or other) character."
However, this automation isn't specifically linked to Disney parks. So, for those thousands of costumed young character performers, you can rest easy (for now). Free-roaming robots aren't a fresh concept at Walt Disney World either. Push the Talking Trash Can roamed around Tomorrowland for years, controlled from a remote location.
In the patent, the company addresses issues with other robot-human interactions: "It's has proven difficult to provide wholly safe interactions between humans and robots simply by operating these humanoid and other robots with controlled movements."
But Disney has never patented robots that automatically respond to a Guest's stimulus. Could this be a new innovation in animatronics or character interactions? The patent's filing in October 2015 coincides with several announced expansions. This includes plans for the new Star Wars sections in both Disneyland and Walt Disney World parks. It wouldn't surprise this writer if this technology was used for certain characters in the franchise.
To read the entire patent and speculate potential uses for yourself, you can find the full thing from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office here.

Nothing much can be done now...you can grow till 25 years 177cm is not bad...you can grow 2 to 3cm more as the age progresses...just fallow this advice it might help you...Exercise at least five times per week. By using exercises that help with gaining height, you will naturally increase the level of growth hormones in your body. Certain weight training exercises, high intensity sprints and bar hanging can help you achieve this. you must strengthen your abdominal and back muscles first to get the most out of your exercises. Eat a healthy diet.you have to eat more foods high in amino acids to help increase the levels of human growth hormones in your body. Adding calcium, zinc, iron, copper and magnesium to your diet can help you increase these levels as well...consult physicians for further help
