As a resource-wealthy northern neighbour of the United States, one would expect there to be a great deal of interest from the US in Canada's internal affairs, particularly its intelligence agencies, a fact confirmed by a search of recently released Stratfor emails by Wikileaks.
What value is a trove of random emails? Stratfor has been referred to as the 'Shadow CIA' and isn't a random company, but one likely to have considerable influence in the machinations of the US government.
The US government has a penchant for contracting out all sorts of work, presumably to maintain plausible deniability, so anything this company is up to or whatever their thoughts are on issues is interesting, important and may just reflect what the US government is thinking on issues. Stratfor almost certainly influences it.
Curious to see what connections these emails might have to Alberta, I searched for Edmonton, Calgary and Alberta which made for rather interesting reading. Each linked item is PDFed as a backup, so if a link is not working, let me know and I will upload the PDF.
Interesting portions of the emails have been quoted with the rest of the reading of the emails left to you. Interested in searching Wikileaks for yourself?
Albertans interested in working with Stratfor
- Analysis of politics and current events was expected, but what was unexpected in these emails were the personal details of Albertans interested in working with Stratfor in various capacities, including an Edmonton city councillor and a University of Alberta PhD student.
- There is an email from an Edmonton Journal employee sharing information with Stratfor.
- One Calgarian was interested in livening up his retirement by doing some Stratfor work.
Banking & oilsands
- Apparently the Royal Bank doesn't lend to oilsands operations, or does it? (RAN is the Rainforest Action Network.)
Bart Mongoven wrote: "The verbal slight of hand is that RAN alleges RBC lends to companies that are despoiling the Boreal with oil sands operations. RBC says, "we don't lend to oil sands operations." Both are telling the truth. RAN's veiled demand is that RBC not lend at all to companies that have oil sands operations. Asking an investment bank to take ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, Chevron and Total off its list of potential clients is as stupid as, well, us doing that."
- In relation to a story about Europe, Canada and the oilsands being considered dirty energy, one Stratfor employee referred to Europe as "goddam euro hippies." Based on this story: Canada warns EU to not rank oil sands as dirty energy
- An exchange about climate change and the oilsands, from December 2009.
Bart Mongoven wrote: "I don't know why they did that report on Alberta screwing the other provinces on a climate bill. Maybe it's just that the entire country is going to have to do a 20 percent reduction from a very high level because of the oil sands, but again with cap and trade, the oil sands will pick up their share by purchasing the emissions from good actors in the hippie provinces."
TransCanada & Keystone XL pipeline
Sharing a story on the Keystone XL pipeline and whether the oilsands should be involved in the debate.
email@example.com commented on a Canadian Press story: "Wow. So TransCanada appears to be confident that the oil sands issue (as opposed to the pipeline) is a loser for the activists. Which TransCanada might believe because the activists are preying on spill/disaster fears to build opposition along the pipeline route. Activists are using both arguments, to be sure, but it's hard to blame TransCanada for trying to discredit the spill-focused opposition by saying this isn't the issue at all (and the issue is moot, by the way)."
October 2008 federal election analysis & commentary
- Analysis of Stephen Harper's October 14, 2008 minority election victory.
Part of Maverick Fisher's analysis: "But in the process of campaigning, the Harper government introduced a threat to Canada's confederal system of government. In an effort to win a majority, Harper campaigned heavily in Quebec, a province whose internal politics are historically dominated by concerns for the survival of the province's Francophone identity. Harper, an Anglophone Canadian born in Toronto who spent his adulthood in the western province of Alberta (a province as decentralist and anti-Francophone as one gets in Canada), aimed to gain the Quebecois vote by appealing to the province's character as a "nation" (as he did in a speech in Quebec City on July 3)."
- Another exchange on October 14, 2008 election:
Peter Zeihan wrote: "the quebec thing feels like a real poison pill that will come back to haunt — ironic that harper is the guy who buried quebecois ambitions in the last election only to bring them back in this one"
- One commenter on Canada's "leftist coalition" waschmitz prompted an internal discussion with these comments: "At any rate, in many other nations, a leftist coup would likely result in the taking up of arms and bloodshed. In Canada, however, being the polite wallflower of a nation that we are, will turn our nations fate to a Liberal/liberal appointed representive of the British monarchy, who will decide whether to allow this shameful power grab to proceed or not."
waschmitz continued: "Would our kind neighbors to the south consider adopting our Province? We're sort of like Texans but less boisterous. I will start brushing up on the Pledge of Allegiance, just in case!"
Marko Papic responded internally: "Albertans don't like BC-ers… That is like if Texas and California (only the hippie part) were right next to each other. No "Cascadian" unity there. That said Alberta would join the US in a heartbeat."
May 2011 federal election analysis & commentary
Analysis of the Stephen Harper's Conservative majority win on May 2, 2011. A BBC story on the win is referenced, but there is a really interesting, extended email discussion of the election victory. It's probably one of the most interesting exchanges I found.
Marko Papic wrote: "BUT, it's Canada… not like anything is ever time sensitive there… other than getting a slurpee and a doughnut, eh? (did you know that Canada consumes more slurpees and doughnuts per capita than any other country in the world?)"
Peter Zeihan wrote: "btw – interesting details on the new parl – its pretty much a rich poor split. interior BC v coastal, alberta v Manitoba, toronto v northern Ontario, downtown montreal v rural quebec"
Marko Papic responded: "That is interesting… so econ all the way. Interesting that all the poor people voted for Harper… right?"
Mark Schroeder responded: "Actually you could say it was rich that voted Harper."
Later in the email, Sean Noonan wrote: "CSIS has foreign capabilities, they just busy themselves with chinamen."
Chinese influence in Canada
Comment on a Reuters story about PetroChina buying Canadian natural gas assets.
Zeihan commented: "this is a great example of what happens when you print currency en masse. this is an undeveloped project — so there are billions (maybe tens of billions) of investment that still needs to be paid, along with billions in infrastructure to link it to a market. China paid ~$5.40 per 1000 cubic feet for the reserves — figure only about 1/2 of that is recoverable, so that's really closer to $11 in the Anglo-American market natural gas is currently trading at about $4.50. so if this project were already up and running, the chinese overpaid by half — looks like they may have overpaid by a factor of four (there are some very happy canadians this morning)"
Muslims in Canada
Comment and sharing of a story by Tarek Fatah about Tariq Ramadan
Kamran Bokhari responded in an exchange: "Tarek Fatah is like a self-hating Muslim. I know him. He lives here in Toronto. In essence he is a Muslim Daniel Pipes. I know Ramadan as well. Muslims who are of a conservative bent see him as a secularist. But his ideas form the essence of European/western Islam."
Alberta politics
Politics this week: 22nd – 28th January 2011 – News item via The Economist: "In Canada Ed Stelmach, the Conservative premier of Alberta, announced he would resign despite enjoying a huge majority in the legislature. He was insufficiently right-wing for many in Canada's most conservative province."
Nuclear power
Entitled "don't share this": a report by UBS on Fukushima and nuclear power. Page 99 deals with Canada specifically.
US geopolitics
The Geopolitics of the United States, Part 1: The Inevitable Empire – Outside the Box Special Edition. It's a long document, but makes for interesting reading, especially the sections dealing with Canada.

Unanswered: Help In Debugging And Memory Leaks
Hi Every One:
I need some Tips and help in debugging my companys project, which i have been developping since few months now. Well the first thing is that all the debugging options are on in theprojec
1.(i.e runtime, and all others).
2-I used Option Explicit to reduce it taking more memory.
3-I used Error handling in each function of the project.
4-Plannign to use #(directives) ..............any feedback on that?
My major concern is that when i open up the project. it eats the whole memory of this computer.
so MEMORY leaks are one of ma main concerns.
1-To prevent that i EXPLICITY closed all the database connections
2-Closed all the recordsets.
3-Checked all the related columsns datatypes.
still its not help..........HELP PLEASE..
Now I have one question ...I thinnk it might be cuz of the arguments of the functions
well posting one example here
Public Function getRecipeRipped(recipeItemNo As String)
Dim SQLStmt As String, curdb As Database, adrs, adrs2 As Recordset
Dim Form, formname As Form, ItemNoRipped As String
If ErrorTrapping = True Then
On Error GoTo err_getRecipeRipped_handler
End If
Set curdb = CurrentDb()
Set Form = Forms![yWorkOrder2].Form
SQLStmt = "Select * from [Inventory Recipes] where [FinishedProduct]='" & recipeItemNo & "'"
Set adrs = curdb.OpenRecordset(SQLStmt, dbOpenDynaset)
While Not adrs.EOF
Form![Recipe Item Number].Value = adrs![RippedMaterial]
Set adrs = Nothing
Set curdb = Nothing
Exit Function
MsgBox Err.Number & " " & Err.Description & " " & Err.Source, vbCritical
Exit Function
End Function
iI can seeclearly that RETURN arguments are not declared correctly...like
Public Function getRecipeRipped(recipeItemNo As String)
in this above line................we could have wrote
Public Function getRecipeRipped(recipeItemNo As String)as string
but how would i know if i need Integer? string? or other datatype..
I would appreciate you help.
mY other concern is also how to trap memory leaks

Re: Help In Debugging And Memory Leaks
Are you sure you mean "Access is taking all the memory" or due you mean all the CPU cycles? If is "CPU cycles", that is normal Access behavior.

I am desperately trying to break up with a very, very old flame of mine. You know. Write a Dear John letter. But it isn't as easy as you might expect. So I thought I would share with you my little Dear John letter to John McCain. And how I got to the final version. Okay, not really an old flame. More like a flicker of light eight years ago. But it was brief. Not even a one night stand. The closest we got to a relationship was walking past each other on the road to freedom. (He was walking the other way). But just in case he got my signals all mixed up and wrong – here is my Dear John letter.
Dear John,
Line 1: I don't know quite how to tell you this, but…
our romance is over. No, wait, our affair is dead… sorry, not that type of Dear John letter.
I'm entering a convent? Not yet, only if you become Prez.
Our horoscopes clash… Obviously. I have the scope – you have the horror.
You need to bathe more! Maybe just wash your hair a bit and it should be fine.
Your nostrils offend me. Only when it flares.
I'm in love with your sister. Nope. But your wife is rather pretty.
You're a schmuck. Yep, that's it! Stop saying you want a new type of election where values play a role. You are doing what Bush did to you back then. Stop lying to me. Only a schmuck would do that.
Line 2: I think I first knew it…
Skinny dipping… No!
Tripping on tangerine seeds? So 60's man. And you were already old even back then.
Last Arbor Day. Almost, I should have seen it coming when you started chopping down trees on Arbor day. But that's not it.
When I saw that shrunken head. Well, no. That was just your advisers.
That night… no, last year – almost. But that was just you and Bush in a special moment…
When you shackled me. That's the one! I thought you had enough of torture and were against it. Should have know better. You should have known better. Torture is like pornography – you'll know it when you see it.
Line 3: And I saw you (fill in the gap with the text below) that crazed monk my penpal in Ghana my Billy Carter statue the USA.
Make a pass at… Oops, just you and Bush again.
Sit on… Anything really, just to give those old bones a rest. But that's not it.
Carve your initials on… Air Force One. But no.
Pour syrup over. Sorry – wrong letter. Wrong person. Right idea.
Exercise. Ewe! Not a pretty picture. Please don't be a jogger Prez if you get there.
Tear the clothes off… Again. Not a pretty sight…
Apply leeches to? Nah – done the torture bit already.
Render impotent. Yes! Render impotent the great USA with your foul foreign policies. Get a grip man. I'll do a special Foreign Policy 101 for you in the next few days. Really got to start reading something other than Harry Potter. Really not good for understanding foreigners. You know Harry isn't real right? It s movie… sorry, picture show.
Line 4: I'm sure you're man sensitive open-minded ashamed gutless frostbitten Republican senile masochistic enough to see…
I'm allergic to your hamster. No! But any reason would do, really. Just stay away from me please.
That I'm bionic. Not even that can make my legs move fast enough to get away.
I've had a sex change. Not even for you John.
Your Datsun sucks. Uh?
There is no Santa Claus. You need a beard and moustache to complete that picture. And a bit more on the top as well please.
there is no Mid-East solution.
How miserable I've been. Yes. Every single time I see you now I ask myself, "What happened to the man we loved? Or almost loved?" You are not the same Straight Talking Express anymore my man. Your the Flip-Flop Depress. And it's not pretty. Sell your soul to the devil…
Line 5: I'm returning…
Your ring. No. Sorry -again wrong letter. And I am keeping that one. I am South African and you should know that we don't part with our diamonds easily.
Your love letters. Nah. Those were meant for Bush in any case.
Our matching Snoopy bibs. I don't need them in any case. I don't really drool. I was just trying to make you feel better.
Your dentures. Why do you have so many spares in any case?
To sleeping around. Hum. No.
To the commune. Because love is all around baby. I feel the love at Commune Obama. The happy hippies. Sorry dude. It's by invitation only. Not elitist at all. You just have to be sane to be included. Or human and humane. But that's not it. Sorry to disappoint you but we are not some group of far-left hippies. Just normal people who want to live normal lives.
Your Darth Vader poster. Yes! Or as you call it your "self-portrait". You know that was the Dark Side right? Don't go there my man. You always managed to walk a fine line between the Force and the Farce. You are going way too far over to the right farce side now.
Line 6: But I'm holding on to (fill in the gap with text below) as a keepsake…
Murray's leotards. Oops. Wrong letter.
Your photo. Ewe.
My sanity. Gotta have that my man. But that's not it.
Your police record. Or rather. Your policing record. Not nice – but that's not it.
Those oil stocks. Yes! Thanks to you and your mates I should be able to make loads of dough from the high gas prices. Keep it going my man. You are making me and all those other foreigners nice and stinking rich. Don't worry about the climate. Who needs it in any case? Not at your age.
Line 7: I want you to know that I'll always treasure never forget try to blot out tell the "Enquirer" about tell my priest about be a lot better off without your…
Eggplant fetish. WTF? It smells you know.
Jackie Mason imitations. You are not funny. Ever.
Hatred of the Red Sox. Oh I know you my little friend.
Senility. There are pills you can take… Remember Sunni and Shiite? There is a difference. Like Sonny and Cher. Just more depressing. And older.
Screwing up World War II. That is so last year.
New life as a clone. Yes! We don't need another four years of the same. Please don't do this to me. I don't think my weak little heart can take it anymore. And you always cross the line between clone and clown you know. Please don't hug him like that and call him your friend. It's not nice man. Just not nice. Scary yes. Very, very scary.
Fondly Sincerely Painfully Good luck on your parole Up yours With great relief Now bug off Regards to your creepy (political) family,
Note: The complete letter…
Dear John,
I don't know quite how to tell you this, but you're a schmuck. I think I first knew it when you shackled me. And I saw you render impotent the USA. I'm sure you're masochistic enough to see how miserable I've been. I'm returning your Darth Vader poster. But I'm holding on to those oil stocks as a keepsake. I want you to know that I'll be a lot better off without your new life as a clone.
Regards to your creepy (political) family,
Angry African

Two anonymous young men in Iran, one Iranian and one Afghan, have burned a qur'an, saying that Arabs have foisted this book on their homelands and because of it they have gone backwards for 1400 years. They say they hate the qur'an and want it to disappear, adding "Viva freedom!"
Washington Times –(H/T Susan K) – This seven-and-a-half minute long video shows the two men, their faces obscured, holding the Muslim holy book and reading prepared statements. Afterwards they stand the Qur'an on a flat rock, douse it in alcohol and light it. One of them hoots and laughs. The book burns fiercely, and after a few moments one of them sprays more alcohol into the flames. The video ends with them warming their hands over the blazing book.
(If anyone can translate their words, we'd appreciate it)
FAST FORWARD TO 4:00 for burning

The Key to Netflix Recent Success
STORY BY Candace Bryan
Published: April 23, 2013
In a world where the availability of watching movies and TV shows online for free is only ever increasing, how is it that Netflix continues to grow? In the last quarter alone, Netflix saw an enormous boost of U.S. and international subscribers to its service, with over 3 million new users in three months. This put their total user base at 29.2 million in the U.S. and 7.1 million abroad. Stock shares are shooting up as well, and the company shows no sign of slowing down. People don't seem to mind paying Netflix for what they could easily access elsewhere. What is the key to their success?
When Netflix came on the scene, its main competition was movie rental stores like Blockbuster. Netflix immediately exploded, and Americans were grateful not to have to leave their houses in order to acquire movies. But in the last years, as media shifts to be almost exclusively online, Netflix has faced a more competition than before. Now that the core of their business is through their online-streaming service instead of their snail-mail DVDs, it must compete with other sites making the same content available for a lower price, or even free. It also has had troubles buying permission to make videos available for streaming on the Netflix site. The owners of digital videos rarely bargain with Netflix, and the cost of quality movies and shows is high.
In 2011 to make up for these high prices and decreasing demand, Netflix prices were raised 60%, and subscribers were displeased to have to pay $16 a month instead of the previous $10. Netflix growth practically came to a halt, and their stocks plummeted.
It looked pretty grim for business, and just as Blockbuster died when Netflix changed the movie rental market, it looked like Netflix might be on a similar path. But unlike Blockbuster, Netflix made a plan that, as seen in the numbers above, is clearly working. What business tactic has saved them from near destruction, and given them a huge boom in business?
Chances are you've probably heard of the show House of Cards by now. The Netflix-original series has seen wild success since it premiered last February, and Americans are talking about it. The show is almost exclusively to credit for the Netflix turnaround. It's part of the solution to the Netflix problem that is, as Netflix's chief content officer described to GQ "to become HBO faster than HBO can become us." That essentially means that in order to make consumers feel like they need Netflix, Netflix is creating a slew of original shows, only available on the site.
So far it's working, and the media giant is confident that the strategy will continue to work for them. It's not certain if all the other content they create will be as huge a success, but for now things are looking peachy for Netflix.

I had a simalar delema.
But just so i could have a weapon of eachtype. I went for the MG3.
In scope the recoil is a lil higher. And its ROF is a tad bit slower.
But it makes up for it byhaving so much extra rounds.
Go for the perm, its pretty decent in CQB and especially in Fireteam/Zombie.

Death in her family…
My new girlfriend's grand-father just died. I want to skip the funeral because I haven't met her family yet. Mistake?
No, it sounds like a good call. While they might appreciate that you're offering a shoulder to cry on, a grieving family isn't in the mood to entertain a new boyfriend. Don't fabricate an excuse. Say, "This is a time for you to spend with your family. I hope to meet them soon, in happier times." Then send an epic bouquet of lilies and be there for her when she needs you.

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Rant on haters, discussion on Actors and LIZARD.
Check out my rant discussing the problems with the RAIMI films and who stands being a true Spider-Man fan and a Raimi fanboy. I also discuss the hate on Lizards new look.
Filed Under: "
Seriously what the hell is wrong with all the people that are complaining about this movie? I bet the majority of you don't know anything about Spider-Man and only know him from Raimi's trilogy. You aren't Spider-Man fans, if you think you are then why not show Spidey a little bit of respect and give this movie a chance? If not GTFO. Spider-Man fans my arse.
And really? If I see one more person say they miss the old movies and cmplain about this movie "changing everything" because of a missing jacket and them using an older design, I'll scream. Did you refuse to see the first movie because Green Goblin was in a suit of armor and schizophrenic instead on developing amnesia later on after being caught in an explosion? Did you complain when they had Mary Jane not act at all like Mary Jane and skip completely over Gwen Stacy only to copy a key scene involving her character and then completely alter both it and the ramifications of it? Did you complain when Doc Ock was a nice fella being controlled by super-smart sentient robot arms he built himself only to mysteriously gain the ability to control them with one case of willpower later on? Did you complain when Gwen finally WAS brought in as Eddie Brock's girlfriend, whom peter just used to make MJ jealous, the Sandman being made into a dad just trying to help his sick daughter and a victim of circumstance, or Harry suddenly appearing as the second Goblin wearing... skydiving gear with some armor, goggles and a rocket snowboard? About Eddie Brock being changed from a buff fella to a skinny fast-talking punk, almost more Spider-Man than the guy playing Spider-Man? Or how Venom was utterly butchered? (And before you blame the studio, they ASKED him to add Venom at the END and have the next film about him and he refused to split and had his writers cram him into the last 20 minutes.) Did you complain when part 4 was in development and Raimi was going to take Felicia Hardy and reduce her to The Vultress, Vulture's daughter, rather than Black Cat? Studio wanted the Lizard there, fans were asking for him, was a CLASSIC villain which Raimi insisted on working with as he hated new villains like Venom and Carnage by his own admission.
Now lets get onto TASM.
For those having problems with THE LIZARDS look, it may not be the iconic look with the long snout and lab cot like the T.MAC version shown below:
But what Webb did in his version is use the classic design, NOT A GOOMBA. The Ditko Lizard has no snout, can speak slurred English, and doesn't have sharp teeth. Thats the design Webb wanted to give a sense of humanity to the villain. Tell me to my face that this doesn't look menacing:
Another thing I dont get is that, LIZARD seems to be wearing his iconic Lab Coat in most scenes:
Then why is he called a GOOMBA even he looks his classic charetcer?
I dont get it.
And even then if Lizard isn't wearing he coat, a menacing DR. CONNERS under the influence of the regeneration drug with the tail, scales and all still wears the lab coat:
Lets get this straight.
This is a GOOMBA:
The movie version Goomba from the failed "Mario Bros. Movie" this isn't the Mushroom-design we all know and love from the games, it was a "creative decision" This is that design:
A goomba has a small head, sharp teeth and looks plain silly and un-menacing. The Lizard has a normal head, no sharp teeth, sharp claws and can speak slurred English. The only slight characteristic that they both hold is that they both have a small head, that's it.
And now to the actors of SPIDER-MAN.
ANDREW: Actually Andrew Garfield is the perfect choice to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man and all of us real Spider-Man fans are delighted with this casting decision!
Andrew looks just like Peter Parker (especially the way Peter looked in the majority of the comics and cartoons of last century), he portrays Peter/Spidey correctly, he is a big Spidey fan, he is very passionate about playing the character, and he is a very good actor. It's perfect casting!
TOBEY: Spider-Man is supposed to be skinny. He was never a chubby little man like Tobey's version was.
Also Tobey looked nothing like Peter from the comics & cartoons, he played the character totally wrong, his acting was poor, and his queer voice is way too annoying. All real Spider-Man fans hated Terrible Tobey in the role!
The only people that ever did like Tobey as Peter/Spidey were little kids and non-comic readers who know nothing about Spider-Man and lacked the intelligence to see how bad Tobey's acting was.
....Need I say more?
If a user by the name LOGANXX36 is not behaving to the sites standards of conduct, I will delete your comments because I do not believe in constant and ignorant hate on something.
Be warned now.
End rant.

From a Animal physiotherapist to a Doctor in Veterinary Physiology
SAMK's former student Heli Hyytiäinen was the first physiotherapist in Finland to defend her dissertation in veterinary physiology.
For Heli Hyytiäinen the profession of a vet was always the only possibility. However, in high school she started to consider other options. During her gap year she saw an ad on physiotherapy studies in English at SAMK and she enrolled for physiotherapy studies in Pori.
This is definitely her own field and she says that wouldn't change it. She always treats sick animals with vets and there is a lot of cooperation.
"There are no conflicts and it is really rewarding to work in a multidisciplinary team. Therefore, I work in clinics and feel that I have a dream job. "
After her studies in physiotherapy, Heli made some deliberate choices. First she started specialisation studies in animal physiotherapy in Lahti and after that she enrolled for a Master's Degree Programme in Veterinary Physiology in London. Master's degree studies were the only way for her to complete her doctoral dissertation in the way she wanted to. She had started to collect data for the dissertation already before she started her Master's degree.
Right after the Master's degree studies she started her doctoral studies in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Helsinki. She defended her dissertation on a Finnish Canine Stifle Index in May 2015. The dissertation was the first of its kind in Finland. There are now two people in Europe who have completed their dissertations on animal physiotherapy. The whole world has now six.
Since animal physiotherapy is her passion, Heli Hyytiäinen teaches in all specialization studies in animal physiotherapy at SAMK. In addition, she teaches students studying in the Master 's Degree Programme in Veterinary Physiotherapy in Liverpool. She teaches a wide variety of topics but her favourite field is biomechanics. Biomechanics is a specialty on movement: what forces affect it and how the actual movement is carried out.
Client service
The clients mostly consist of dogs and horses. Animal patients have often become paralyzed or they suffer from orthopaedic diseases or injuries. "I'm lucky because my clientele varies. On the one hand I treat athletes, on the other hand I work with very sick clients who get rehabilitation.
Four animal physiotherapists work in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Even worldwide the number of animal physiotherapists is significant.

My subjects often arise from nature or from the human's relationship with nature. I like to use colours on a wide scale. Each work defines the colours used in it; even black and white works are possible. Night is an expression of my other subject area, the person's inner life and feelings. I use a lot of symbolism in my work.
I'm interested in many graphic techniques but so far I have mostly used metal graphics and wood drawings. Besides graphics I also paint in water colours and combine this technique with ink. However, when I graduate, I want to work as a professional graphic designer.

An Open Mind (to exchange) is a joy forever
'Do I have to prepare something', I asked my future superior Ari-Pekka Kainu just before I left for a 12-week exchange to Pori, Finland.
A shorter version of the article available on issuu.
'Keep an open mind', he said, 'and everything will be all right'. And so I did.
However, before I left, a lot of things had to be arranged.
'Good preparations come in time', they say and therefore I started with my search for an exchange in September 2014 with the aim to go abroad in April 2015.
I asked A-P (Dean of the ICT Faculty of SAMK), whom I have known since 2008, what SAMK's perspectives were regarding teacher exchange, and he replied immediately; 'When can you come?".
Unfortunately, due to different scheduling, the period I was aiming at was not a good time for SAMK. I would have been in Pori, but teaching would be rather impossible, because there wouldn't be any students during this period.
SAMK has five modules/periods (8 weeks each) instead of the four modules the Hague University is used to working with. During this 5th module students are mainly in internship or do other kinds of projects. Therefore, my stay should be postponed to August 2015.
To prepare a longer staying, A-P advised me to try a week in Pori. We agreed on a week in February, and during this stay I already taught a few hours (enough hours to comply with the Erasmus agreement). Together with A-P and other members of the management team, we discussed the items to focus on during my longer period in August. We agreed on teaching and research. This visit was very useful because I got to know more future colleagues and learnt more about SAMK.
Finally, it was in the middle of August we, my wife (whom I married just two weeks before our leave) and I got on a road trip to Finland. Although the trip lasted almost three days, it was a good decision to go by car. In advance, I thought about how convenient it would be to have my own car at hand and having the opportunity to travel a lot and do some sightseeing.
We arrived on Sunday, and a (future) colleague was waiting for us with a key to my new residence. A small house was arranged by SAMK, enough space for a man alone and with all the comfort men could wish. A Finnish bathroom was included as well, which I learned to love.
Although Finland is known for its cold temperature, it was around 25 degrees the whole first week. As I heard later, this was the only period with lots of sun, and people titled these few days of good weather; their 'Finnish summer'. The temperature was very high in 'my time', although sometimes it was already 10 degrees below zero at night later that period.
Once I had settled and unpacked the car, we had the time to do the groceries and learn to know the neighbourhood. I noticed right away that everyday groceries would be more expensive than in the Netherlands (this is because of differences in VAT).
We walked through the lovely neighbourhood, called Paradise Hill, only three kilometres from the university, and went to the city centre to get acquainted with the area.
The first week of my stay would be the introduction week, not only for me but also for all the new students. New students were introduced by student tutors wearing overalls with tags of parties or events they went to. Apparently the more tags you have, the better 'student' you are. Every faculty has an overall with its own colour and I saw them wearing these overalls throughout the whole period.
I also got introduced to a lot of Finnish people with all kinds of (for me) difficult Finnish names. Also, a few Dutch and Belgium students arrived but I didn't often see them during my stay and was doomed to speak English and a little Finnish the whole time. English is not a problem, but also after a Finnish course, my Finnish was good enough for saying hello and other basics. A good conversation in such a foreign language was not possible.
The introduction ended with the 'Kurnajaiset' where new students (as part of the introduction) and old students (to ensure they would keep their records), crawl on their hands and knees through the city centre. A nice event which ended in several bars, not to get drunk, but probably to lose the feeling of pain in arms and legs.
A prepaid cell phone, with unlimited access to calls, sms and data, came in handy. The (technical) infrastructure in Finland is much further ahead compared to other countries in Europe or even the world. I had the feeling my mobile data traffic in Finland was even faster than my (wired) connection at home. This phone made it possible to stay in touch with home through facetime or skype and the opportunity to speak some Dutch once in a while.
Finland's summer ended with fireworks in the lovely 'bay' area the weekend after the introduction. It was time to say goodbye to my wife and really start working.
During my stay, I took up teaching in different areas of expertise. Some cultural differences between the Netherlands and Finland, business, project management, Entrepreneurship subjects, Blue Ocean Strategy, in both undergraduate and in Master courses.
I learned students from Finland differ from students in other countries (at least in the countries south of Finland).
Having class at eight, students are on time and rather arrive and are prepared 10 minutes before the class starts. Only the exchange students are often late, which is not much appreciated by teachers. Not only students are on time, Finns in general are very punctual, coming late is 'not done'.
It also occurred to me, most students are withdrawn or shy. Colleagues told me later, it also has to do with being afraid to speak (correct) English. They rather don't speak English, instead of making a lot of errors.
I think I'm more direct (also in my teaching), although A-P made a good point by asking me; 'Why did it take 14 years to ask your wife to marry you, if you are that direct?'.
I had to work hard to get the students more involved in a Q&A/discussion way of teaching.
I used the 'marshmallow challenge' a lot in different metaphors, and I will probably be remembered as 'The Spaghetti-man'. I also used a lot of videos to 'tell' something about the Netherlands and Dutch in particular with a rather diminishing approach of our inhabitants, except for the 'Breakfast' video of course.
Except for the chocolate sprinkles children get at breakfast, I brought a lot of 'stroopwafels' (a Dutch treat), liquorice and in October (my wife, who visited me seven times, took them on a plane) Dutch St Nikolas treats (chocolate in the form of a letter and 'pepernoten') to break the ice (or tongue) with colleagues and/or students. I made a lot of friends trying to bribe them (ha ha) with all the sweets and colleagues asked me, upon my leaving, what they would do without me, if I wasn't there anymore to fill their needs for Dutch sweets.
I love(d) my colleagues inviting me to all kind of activities, from visiting their summer cottage to an ice hockey or pesäpallo game and pointing out all kinds of things to see. I really learned a lot about Finland and the warmly welcoming Finnish people. I got used to Finnish habits, like an early warm meal for lunch (pea soup on Thursday) and having a sauna (in my case, every other day). I even had the opportunity to speak to Santa Claus and witness the Northern lights.
I surely can recommend a (longer) stay in Finland, as a teacher or student, but also as a tourist.
My stay in Finland will surely lead to a follow up, while the Universities intend to do projects and research together, and although there is no contract (yet) a handshake in Finland is binding as well.
I would like to thank all of you for making my exchange in Finland a joy forever.

Research project on urban development launched in Namibia
Satakunta University of Applied Sciences (SAMK) and the Polytechnic of Namibia (PON) launched a new research project on urban resource efficiency on 1 October 2015. Main themes for the project are clean water and sanitation, renewable energy, housing and ICT and Internet of Things (IoT) in Namibia.
The two-year project is called NAMURBAN (Urban Resource Efficiency in Developing Countries) – pilot study of Walvis Bay, Namibia. NAMURBAN is financed by the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation Tekes, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, SAMK and ten Finnish companies. It has a total budget of 440.000 euros, approximately 6.6 Million NAD.
NAMURBAN widens the co-operation between SAMK and PON
SAMK has entered into a co-operation agreement with PON on issues relating to land and sea since 2012. The co-operation has been related to especially on the marine research vessel R/V Mirabilis and maritime education.
NAMURBAN widens the co-operation between SAMK and PON from education to research and development work. The aim of the project is to develop a framework for urban resource efficiency utilization in developing countries using Namibia as the pilot country. NAMURBAN is part of Business with Impact (BEAM) program, funded by Tekes and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs. BEAM goals are to meet the needs of developing countries and to provide Finnish companies with new business opportunities in these growing markets.
Ten Finnish companies active in the project
In the project, ten Finnish companies are actively participating and presenting high know-how and technology on housing, renewable energy, water and sanitation as well as ICT and IoT applications. The companies are Aquapure Ltd., Fimuskraft Ltd., GA90 Recycling Ltd., IntLog Ltd., Naps Solar Systems Inc., Rannan Teollisuuskone Ltd., Riffid Ltd., Sansox Ltd., Scanhomes Ltd., and SWOcean Ltd.
The specific solutions of NAMURBAN are based on the analysis of the current situation and needs for urban technology and systems in Namibia.
Coastal town Walvis Bay as the pilot site
Namibia's vision 2030 states that by the year 2030, Namibia will be a prosperous and industrialized country, developed by its human resources, enjoying peace, harmony and political stability. Namibia's National Development plan (NDP4) focuses on increased income equality, employment creation, and high and sustained economic growth. The economic priority areas are logistics, tourism, manufacturing and agriculture.
The research project will be the first to study and develop a sustainable technological concept on urban environments in developing counties using a pilot site, coastal town of Walvis Bay in Namibia. The expected results include proposals for solutions on affordable housing, increase in renewable energy and clean water in Namibia.

A Leap Towards Solar Energy
There is a growing interest in solar energy in Finland. The systems are becoming more common and it is easier to get the information. As a result, the threshold of producing your own energy has become lower.
Households have become more interested in solar energy systems due to the considerable decline of solar energy system prices during the past few years. In addition, several people think that it is important to increase the use of renewable energy forms in order to reduce the impact of climate change.
SOLARLEAP Satakunta is a joint project of SAMK and vocational education institute WinNova which started at the beginning of the year and will continue until end of 2016. The aim is to remove barriers from using solar energy. These include, e.g. the small amount of companies in the business, shortage of experts and the complexity of permission and agreement practices.
The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund. Synergy is provided by SOLARLEAP Varsinais-Suomi project, which is a similar project going on in the neighboring region Varsinais-Suomi in co-operation of Turku University of Applied Sciences and Vocational Institute of Turku.
Over 130 households signed up for SOLARLEAP Satakunta pilot survey. In this survey the possibilities for these households to utilize solar energy are mapped. Ten households are selected as pilot sites. These households purchase with the help of SAMK's students a solar energy system, which is installed by WinNova's students in the project.
Solar energy system performances of these pilot sites will be monitored during the following five years providing concrete follow-up information open for the public. This helps all interested people to see how solar energy systems work in ordinary Finnish residential houses.
Training for entrepreneurship
In order to make use of the demand for solar energy by the households the companies need to develop their services. The staff of SOLARLEAP Satakunta arranged solar training for project partner companies. Some of these companies are already working in the field and other aim for the solar energy markets along with the project.
The purpose of this training was to provide them with the basic information of solar energy technologies, marketing and system design. The aim was to promote the competitiveness of the companies and to improve the processes inside the companies. The training also had participants from the municipal construction authorities.
New competences through practical project learning
Students are involved in designing and installing the solar energy systems in the pilot sites. As a result, new competent professionals are trained to the field.
During the summer 2015 SAMK's students together with the SAMK project engineers carried out operation where solar energy utilization possibilities were mapped for each household signed for the pilot survey.
During autumn 2015 and spring 2016 SAMK students will plan a solar energy system for the selected households. Students are in charge of the overall process from design and of acquisition of the solar energy system to installation and commissioning.

GUNDRY'S GRUMBLES with Simon Gundry
We do have a problem, a serious problem...
I've lived and worked on the North Shore all my life, and indeed it is one of the most beautiful and wonderful places to live in the world. We all take a lot of pleasure and pride in our beaches, our lake and parks and recreational areas, which are abundant.
No matter where you are on the North Shore, there is normally a view of the Hauraki Gulf and the outlying islands to entice us to explore, clean waters to fish in, dive under or swim in. A paradise for children, parents and grandparents alike. No child of the North Shore should ever be allowed to say they are bored, as right on the doorstep is a paradise that the majority of the world's population would kill for to live in.
But we do have a problem, a serious problem. I could almost call it the Chernobyl of the Shore and it is of serious concern to me and to the residents of this area.
It is the lower part of the Wairau Creek, mainly the areas between the intersection of Kitchener and East Coast Road, situated to the North West of the Milford Town Centre and the coastline of the eastern beaches, mainly Castor Bay and Milford beaches.
I'd like to draw attention to the seriousness of the ever growing silt build up problem that has now created both an ecological, and environmental health and safety risk to the human, animal, bird and marine life that live either nearby or are even using these waterways and surrounding banks. Toxins that are given off from ever mounting silt are as poisonous as that of asbestos in its present state.
Clearly what has happened over the period of recent years is that developments up the valley, either with new subdivisions, roading improvements, or just an ever increasing population has released huge quantities of silt and related materials that have progressively overpowered the stream's ability to cope. Milford Stream is no longer fulfilling its role as a stream and has changed its character to become a deposit for deep, smelly mud. It has brought an end to fish life in the stream and is now a growing hazard to the health of nearby residents and to the usefulness of Milford Marina and its boats.
The bund located at the junction of Inga, Beach and Commodore Parry Roads and adjacent to the reserve has long become progressively overwhelmed by events like road works, residential and commercial development further up the Wairau watershed basin. Clearly watershed supervision and maintenance has failed to contain this problem, much less resolve it. Not only does the problem have quite distressing environmental features, but the almost septic nature that the silt overflow has reached has serious health implications. And all this right under the very noses of those who have believed Milford Reserve and waterfront were features of which our community should be proud.
There are many sports groups, picnic parties, marina owners, school gatherings that note with concern the unpleasant smells now coming from what we could now call "The stream that was". I know from impeccable sources that a major open air film evening arranged by the Council last February, which attracted a large gathering of interested and eager people had lost many of its audience before the film had finished, the reason being the stench from the stream had become too unpleasant.
This situation no longer is a matter for consideration for the future, it is a matter of extreme urgency and needs to be acted on now. I know there is huge support from local residents, business operators, the Milford Residents association, the Milford Business association, boat owners and sports clubs. I have great concerns that the draft budget has no consideration for addressing the problem of the silt, and this I think is diabolical.
We all know that there is a development planned of some proportion for the future development of the Milford Town Centre, we are also aware that there are some proposals such as a possible boardwalk through the mangroves, but unfortunately there are no practical solutions to fixing the problem the Milford community are currently faced with.
The answer is pretty simple, the way I see it. Firstly remove all the toxic silt that currently lies within the Creek, then find a solution to trap the silt that travels down the stream all parts of the year.
We could also construct a footbridge to the northern side of Inga Road as there used to be in the 1930's and 40's when the old pirate ship was such a focal point for social gatherings. And, really we could also use Mother Nature to deal with the flushing of our marine cove that we are so lucky to have at our very own doorstep.
The local board needs to promote this very serious ecological and environment problem to the Super city council and not let go until they act responsibly. We all believe very strongly about keeping our environment clean and green as this is typically the Kiwi way. The Auckland Council should do what is right and fix what is their responsibility and that is to direct all stormwater safely into the sea and not turn their backs on what is extremely important to the welfare of our community.
I hope the City Council has enough common sense to act immediately and responsibly to my call to salvage our environment from turning into a wasteland that humans, animals, birds and marine life cannot use again in the future.
Major health and environmental problems cannot be ignored indefinitely and must be addressed immediately. This is not just a Milford problem, it is an issue for all of us.
Maybe if the Council had not spent the ten million dollars on the "Len Brown Library" that has been forced on the community of Devonport and channelled that money into the cleaning up of the Milford Creek then I'm sure our society would have been a lot happier.

The Labour Party accused of drawing up 'secret plan' to increase tax by two per cent
THE Tories have accused Labour of drawing up "secret plans" for a 2p in the pound income tax rise if it wins the next election; equivalent to a 10 per cent rise for those on average earnings of £26,000.
They say the proposal to raise taxes to pay for Labour's National Care Service would cost a taxpayer on average earnings an extra £326 a year.
The accusation came as it emerged that researchers have been testing Labour's idea on focus groups.
It was one of scores of potential manifesto ideas put to floating voters in four marginal constituencies by Deborah Mattinson, Labour leader Ed Miliband's favourite pollster.
Research was conducted for Progress, the New Labour campaigning organisation, in the seats of Crewe and Nantwich, Harlow, Finchley and Golders Green and Redditch.
All four seats were held by Labour under Tony Blair but lost to the Conservatives in 2010 and are among the "frontline 40" that are identified by Labour as crucial wins if they are to return to power. Voters who backed New Labour in 1997, 2001 and 2005 but switched to the Tories in 2010 were asked their views on both parties and on potential Labour policies going into the next election.
This plan to raise income tax is evidence that Labour haven't changed from the high-spending, high-taxing ways of the past
Ms Mattinson concluded that adding a National Care Service is something "Labour is well positioned to deliver with credibility – public services, particularly ones seen as an extension of the NHS, are a core strength of the Labour brand". She also said that a "communications strength of adult social care is that the recipients of the taxpayer-funded service are not controversial".
Getting taxpayers to fund the service would slap £326 more on the tax bill of those with average earnings of £26,000. Those on that salary now pay £3,312 a year in income tax meaning the £326 rise is equivalent to a percentage rise of 10.1.
Ms Mattinson and her firm, Britain Thinks, delivered the results of their polling to Labour MPs at an event for think-tank Progress last week.
Those in attendance included Mr Miliband's close adviser Lord Wood and Liz Kendall, the shadow minister who would be in charge of a National Social Care service. At the event Ms Kendall appeared to suggest that Labour should be honest with the electorate sooner rather than later.
Sajid Javid, Financial Secretary to the Treasury, said: "This plan to raise income tax is evidence that Labour haven't changed from the high-spending, high-taxing ways of the past. They have no long term plan for Britain, all they want is more spending, more borrowing and more taxes; exactly what got us into a mess in the first place and it is hard-working people who would pay."
Just one in five Britons thinks Ed Miliband will be the next prime minister, a poll shows. The ComRes research for a Sunday paper found only 21 per cent thought the Labour leader would be in No 10 after the next election.
This is down ten points since May and comes despite the poll giving Labour a lead over the Tories of 36 per cent to 29 per cent.
