Poland (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska), is a large Slavic nation in Central Europe. Its history stretches 1000 years, with interruptions when it was controlled or even divided up by powerful neighbors. It is a member of the European Union and NATO.
2 Language, Religion, Culture
Poland in 2007.
Poland is located in Central Europe and occupies a total area of 312,679 square kilometers. It is bordered by Belarus, the Czech Republic, Germany, Lithuania, a Russian exclave Kaliningrad Oblast, Slovakia, and Ukraine. Poland is predominantly open plains, with the natural borders of the Carpathian Mountains to the south and the Baltic Sea to the north.
Language, Religion, Culture
Religion was a mainstay of Polish identity for a thousand years. It was a refuge from Communist rule, and before that an act of defiance against Prussians and Russians. As the rest of Europe secularized in the late 20th century, the Catholic faith grew stronger in Poland, symbolized by the selection of Karol Cardinal Wojtyła, Archbishop of Kraków, as Pope John Paul II in 1978. By the late 1980s, a third of all priests ordained in Europe were from Poland.[2]

Sterling silver earrings, brooches, and necklaces by Jennie Milner are on display at Wadoo in Fort Collins.
J.C. Milner Metalworks. It's a serious-sounding name for the business of the artisan who produces some of the most whimsical jewelry I've seen in my six months of visiting art festivals and galleries along the Front Range. Playfully executed birds and birdhouses, flowers and leaves are ever-recurring motifs in Jennie Milner's jewelry and other art.
If you know the 1990 song "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants, you know just how playful Jennie intends her work to be. She loved that song from the first time she heard it and picked the line "Build a little birdhouse in your soul" as the theme for her art.
A strip of brown paper filled with doodles of jewelry ideas runs the length of two walls of Jennie's studio. Below it hang the no-nonsense tools of a metalworker. Nothing could be more perfect to represent the two sides of Jennie Milner, I thought, when I watched Jennie work last week at her studio in Fort Collins.
A wall runner of jewelry doodles reminds Jennie Milner that she has endless ideas to choose from.
A rolling mill imprints a floral design on a fresh piece of copper. Jennie Milner uses her own designs for all elements of her metalwork.
It all starts with a plain piece of metal, Jennie told me, pulling out 2-inch squares of copper and sterling silver.
The silver square she showed me had an interesting texture on one side. That's the impress of a paper towel, she explained.
Metal is so malleable before it's finished that even paper alters its surface when it runs through a rolling mill. In the photo at right, Jennie uses a flower design previously cut from copper to make another flower. She had adjusted the knobs on top of the rolling mill to allow the two pieces of copper to slip between the rollers with the right amount of pressure to make an imprint on the new piece of copper. For a new flower design, she could make a pattern from heavy paper and achieve a similar result.
Jennie Milner uses a jeweler's saw to cut around the imprint of a flower design in copper.
Next came the part where I held my breath. Jennie used a jeweler's saw to cut around the flower imprint she had just made. In the picture at left, she firmly holds the copper against her bench pin with one hand; with the other hand, she runs the saw straight up and down around the flower petals. The saw "blade" is simply a piece of wire — further proof of how soft metal can be. I lost count of how many passes it took Jennie to make her way around the tiny copper flower.
By the way, Jennie saves all of her metal scraps and sends them off to be melted down and recycled into sheets like those the scraps came from.
An electric sander smooths sharp edges of a newly cut copper flower by Jennie Milner.
To smooth the cut edges of the new copper flower, Jennie grabbed her electric sander. Its shape and size and the way it hung suspended nearby reminded me of a dental hygienists' brush. When Jennie was satisfied that all of the petals' edges were smooth, she put it in her tumbler – a small watertight container filled with water, a squirt of soap, and small pieces of stainless steel.
After seeing how malleable metal is, it was hard for me to believe the stainless steel wouldn't damage her work. Yet tumbling is a standard way that metalworkers clean and polish metal. After several hours, the small copper flower would come out of the tumbler ready to use as an element of a brooch or pendant or earring.
Next Jennie turned to her piece of sterling silver. She had already dipped it in "liver of sulfur," a gel that tarnishes silver evenly. After the silver turned black, she rinsed it and sanded it lightly. The result: silver that looks brushed rather than bright. In metalworker's language, the silver now has a patina. It would become the back of a leaf-shaped pendant.
Jennie Milner solders the ends of sterling silver strip wire to form the outline of a leaf. Heat blackens the metal, but polishing brings out a soft patina.
First, however, she clipped off several inches of sterling silver strip wire which would form the edge of the leaf. (Wire in this case is really a long strip of metal about 3/8" wide.) By pinching the strip in the center and curving its ends toward each other, she formed the basic outline of a leaf you see in the photo at left.
Then she took the tiniest piece of silver anyone could possibly pick up and set it right where the ends joined. That's the piece she is melting with her torch, not the outer rim of the pendant-in-process. Fueled with acetylene, the torch provides the 1675⁰ of heat necessary to melt silver. The trick was to keep the flame moving so it would heat the strip wire but not allow it to melt. Soldering is the part of jewelry making that makes Jennie hold her breath.
There would be more soldering, cutting and sanding, cleaning and polishing before the leaf was ready for the next step. It's possible that by the time it's finished it will look something like the leaves in the photo at right below.
Acrylic paint mixed with resin colors leaves edged and backed with sterling silver in this design by Jennie Milner.
As an artist, Jennie loves color. When she studied metalworking at Colorado State University, she loved the color she could achieve with enamel . . . but she found the process onerous. Instead, Jennie uses resin, specially formulated for jewelers, as a base for adding color to her work. Resin lends itself to all kinds of creative color media; acrylic paint, chalk pastels ground to powder, even Martha Stewart scrapbooking beads are some of Jennie's favorite choices.
Speaking of Color . . .
Jennie Milner created this small diorama as an example of her imaginative art for the Fort Collins Studio Tour last June. A small bird made of silver is looking up at flowers on the roof of its silver vehicle.
This winter, if you happen to have a day when SAD is getting you down, try clicking here. (Then be sure to scroll down slowly.) Jennie does a lot more art than jewelry – you'll be surprised at some of the places you can find it. It's hard to look at it and not smile or get lost in Jennie's creative world.
Jennie offers her zany, creative art monthly by subscription through Etsy. To try out her jewelry, drop by Wadoo in Fort Collins or Metro Frame Works in Denver any day of the year. Check Jennie's website for other locations in Colorado, California, and Florida. Her contact information is there, too, in case you're wanting something in particular.
In case you would like to watch Jennie at work, she has three brief videos posted on the left sidebar of J.C. Milner Metalworks on Facebook. Watch her page for announcements of workshops later in 2015.
One day I was walking through Old Town Fort Collins and spotted one of several cheerily painted pianos that sit outside in warm weather. I looked it over and thought, "Wow, this looks like Jennie Milner's art." I looked around at the side of the piano and there was the artist's name: Jennie Milner.
I didn't know that Jennie had painted one of the city's pianos – so I was especially delighted to have spotted it. Her playful designs exude a creative flair that is uniquely Jennie's.

I love this blog posting. What a talented person Jennie is. I'm inspired to buy once last Christmas gift for my daughter!
Your comment will make Jennie's heart sing, Kathy . . . probably "Birdhouse in Your Soul." It makes mine sing, too.


Its global weekend ticket sales of $450 million were amazing, but even if it keeps up the pace, odds are this will be a down year.
In this segment of the Market Foolery podcast, host Chris Hill and Stock Advisor Canada's Taylor Muckerman talk about the expected news that the latest chapter of the Star Wars saga demolished the box office this past weekend. But after a year in which U.S. ticket sales slid and other blockbusters were less explosive than expected, even a faster-than-light finish probably won't prevent 2017's domestic box office numbers from falling below 2016's and 2015's.
This video was recorded on Dec. 18, 2017.
Chris Hill: To the surprise if absolutely no one, Star Wars: The Last Jedi came in No. 1 at the box office over the weekend, taking in $450 million around the world. Even with that, you look at the box office numbers here in the United States, this movie could put up these types of numbers for the next couple weekends and 2017 is still going to come in both behind 2016 and 2015, in terms of domestic box office in the U.S. Which is why the movie stocks, even on the heels of a weekend like this, you look at a movie theater stock AMC Holdings, they're just having a tough day.
Taylor Muckerman: Yeah. When you look at the box office sales, I'm not sure the exact percentage of that that the movie theaters actually retain, but I imagine it's much less of a percentage than what the filmmakers retain. They're really relying heavily on overpriced refreshments and snacks. And there's just so much competition out there for eyeballs and for your bottom dollar, especially during the holiday season. If you're going to go to a movie, maybe you just go to the movie. Maybe you just eat at home, or go out to eat before or after, and save your money that way. So, really struggling. You see some companies trying to do innovative things by hosting e-sports competitions and viewings like that. I think Cineplex in Canada is starting to introduce a Dave & Buster's style theme to some of their movie theaters, with some arcade games and things like that. But certainly, a struggling marketplace despite the success of some recent blockbuster hits.
Hill: It's going to be interesting to see if Disney (NYSE:DIS), now that it's going to have another couple of studios under the umbrella with the recent acquisition of the Fox studios, it's going to be interesting to see if Disney continues to flex its muscles with theater operators the way that it did with The Last Jedi, where you saw these stories where Disney was essentially dictating higher terms to the movie theaters, saying, we want a four-week commitment that these are going to be in your theaters, and there's going to be a financial penalty if you pull it early, that sort of thing.
Hill: Yeah, it really does seem like that. Have you seen the movie?
Muckerman: I have not. But there were a few empty seats around the Fool on Friday. I'm thinking there were some people playing hooky.

Meghan Markle's Father Thomas Markle Explains Why He Released Her Private Letter
In February, The Mail on Sunday published excerpts of the note he said she sent him after her May 2018 wedding to Prince Harry. The couple is pursuing legal action against the British tabloid.

FamilyRoyalsMeghan Markle
Meghan Markle's father Thomas Markle is defending his choice to make public parts of a letter he says his estranged daughter sent him earlier this year, as she and husband Prince Harry pursue a legal battle against the British tabloid that published it.
In February, The Mail on Sunday published excerpts of the long handwritten note, which Thomas, 75, said the Duchess of Sussex had sent him shortly after the couple's May 2018 wedding, which he did not attend. At the time, Thomas, who has publicly spoken about his estrangement from his daughter many times, told The Mail on Sunday then that he was forced to release the letter because its contents were falsely portrayed. In a new interview with the outlet, published on Saturday, Thomas specified that it was cited by one of Meghan's friends in a People magazine interview.
"I decided to release parts of the letter because of the article from Meghan's friends in People magazine," he said. "I have to defend myself. I only released parts of the letter because other parts were so painful. The letter didn't seem loving to me. I found it hurtful."
Thomas Markle Says He ''Would Have Enjoyed'' to Attend Grandson Archie's Christening
"He writes her a really long letter in return, and he closes it by requesting a photo op with her," the friend had told People. "And she feels like, 'That's the opposite of what I'm saying. I'm telling you I don't want to communicate through the media, and you're asking me to communicate through the media. Did you hear anything I said?' It's almost like they're ships passing."
"I don't recognize the person who wrote the letter but I still love my daughter," Thomas told The Mail on Sunday. "All it would take is one phone call and most of this craziness would stop."
The Mail on Sunday reported that Thomas is also angered by false claims that he requested and received payment for releasing parts of the letter. The outlet also stated that no payment was requested or given for their article on Saturday.
MEGA; Yui Mok/PA Wire
Last week, Meghan and Harry's lawyers initiated legal proceedings against the publication over its release, as the Duke of Sussex, in an unprecedented move, called out the entire British tabloid press over their "ruthless" campaign against Meghan. His statement came in the middle of the couple's tour of southern Africa, their first official royal trip with now-5-month-old son Archie Harrison, and followed months of unflattering media coverage about the duchess.
Meghan and Harry's law firm released a statement last week saying, "We have initiated legal proceedings against the Mail on Sunday, and its parent company Associated Newspapers, over the intrusive and unlawful publication of a private letter written by the Duchess of Sussex, which is part of a campaign by this media group to publish false and deliberately derogatory stories about her, as well as her husband. Given the refusal of Associated Newspapers to resolve this issue satisfactorily, we have issued proceedings to redress this breach of privacy, infringement of copyright and the aforementioned media agenda."
"The contents of a private letter were published unlawfully in an intentionally destructive manner to manipulate you, the reader, and further the divisive agenda of the media group in question," Harry said in his statement. "In addition to their unlawful publication of this private document, they purposely misled you by strategically omitting select paragraphs, specific sentences, and even singular words to mask the lies they had perpetuated for over a year."
A spokesperson for The Mail on Sunday later told E! News in a statement, "The Mail on Sunday stands by the story it published and will be defending this case vigorously. Specifically, we categorically deny that the Duchess' letter was edited in any way that changed its meaning."
Also last week, it was reported that Harry has launched legal proceedings against the owners of British tabloids The Sun and The Mirror over the alleged hacking of his phone. Buckingham Palace confirmed that claims were filed in court regarding alleged illegal interception of voicemail messages, and News Group, parent company of The Sun, confirmed a claim had been issued, according to The Guardian newspaper. It is unclear when the alleged hacking took place and the cases could span back many years.

Course search Virtual Open Days Undergraduate Postgraduate College Courses Apprenticeships Online learning More study options Starting at NTU Academic Schools
Study and courses
Our students' stories
The support offered by NTU is second to none in my opinion and the responses from previous postgraduate students were what really stood out when deciding to stay at NTU.
More about Harriet
What made you decide to undertake postgraduate study at NTU?
"I would like to go on to do research as a job and in order to do that I need a PhD. But I felt that completing a masters would be a good bridge between my undergraduate and a PhD. I studied as an undergrad here and this is what made me decide to stay on at NTU. The support I received here was excellent and the atmosphere of the university as a whole is accepting and friendly."
What did you hear / know about NTU before you came here?
"I started at NTU in 2015 knowing fairly little about the university other than the student satisfaction was high, particularly for psychology. Also the career outcomes of graduates from NTU were really good which was an important influence on my choice of university."
What were the key features that attracted you to your course?
"The course is very skills based, specifically towards research methods and as I am planning on going on to do a PhD I felt that it would put me in good stead to achieve this. As well as this, it also has a really good mix of independent work and taught content so the support is there when you need it. Postgraduate study is also only on Wednesday to Friday meaning that I was able to get a part-time job to support myself financially while studying."
When choosing a course for postgraduate study, what did you consider it important to have?
"I think the most important part of choosing my course was how it would help me get to my future career, this course in particular meant that I could get more experience with different research methods and therefore help me decide what direction I want to go when I choose to apply for a PhD."
Is there anything that stood out on your course that wasn't offered anywhere else you applied?
"The support offered by NTU is second to none in my opinion and the responses from previous postgraduate students were what really stood out when deciding to stay at NTU."
What were the key facilities that attracted you to the University?
"I know that the Department of Psychology has some really good equipment such as eye-trackers that students can learn to use.
The library opening times really help because I don't have a space to work at home so knowing there are so many places on campus no matter what time of day that I can go and work means that I can keep my home life and study life separate."
If you are working as well as studying, what does your job entail and how do you juggle both?
"I work as a Bookseller and do full-day shifts. I find that working is actually a relief, it helps that I enjoy my job, it would be a real struggle if I didn't. It's important to stay on top of university work as that should always be the priority so I know not to take on too much, I went in with the mind-set of if I struggled then I would go down to working two days a week instead of three. There are times that I will work a shift at work and go straight to the library and work for a couple more hours, however as long as I keep an eye on my workload it is possible for me to get everything done to a good standard."
What has been your greatest achievement as an NTU postgraduate student so far?
"I think my biggest achievement is the increase in confidence, whether this be in my university assessments, being able to tackle and understand new software such as R, as well as in my personal and work-life."
What are your plans for the future?
"I plan on applying for a position as a Research Assistant within the university to gain some more hands on experience and more insight into the area of psychology I want to study before applying for a PhD at NTU."
How have you found the postgraduate community in Nottingham? Is it what you expected?
"Very soon after starting this course I'd made some incredibly close friends who I believe I'll be friends with for the rest of my life. I'd definitely say that friends are important when taking on a postgraduate degree because you will need time to let your hair down, but everyone on the same or similar courses who I've met are supportive of each other, not only in the work environment but outside of university as well."

Dominican Republic Boasts Record Breaking Attendance at Tourism Exchange
Annual tourism exchange celebrated the continued growth of Dominican Republic
SANTO DOMINGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, March 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This week, Dominican Republic welcomed a record 750 delegates, 120 tourism businesses, 40 sponsors and 40 journalists to the 2019 Dominican Annual Tourism Exchange (DATE). Francisco Javier García, The Minister of Tourism of the Dominican Republic, recognized that the success of the conference reflects the growth and maturity of the country as a tourist destination, which saw a 6.2 increase in tourism in 2018.
The inauguration event included a ribbon cutting ceremony commenced by García introducing one of Punta Cana's newest properties, the Grand Reserve at Paradisus Palma Real by Meliá. Paradisus Grand Reserve is an extension to the existing Paradisus and Meliá brands. The luxury property opened its doors in December of last year. While it is the third hotel within Melía's Paradisus properties, Grand Reserve is the first of its kind within the brand's portfolio offering luxurious amenities, dining experiences and more.
The event celebrated the start of the annual conference which recognizes the successes and the future of Dominican Republic's thriving tourism industry. García noted that Dominican Republic outpaces the global average of annual tourist arrivals, and the country is continuing to see an upward trend regarding tourism.
Following the ceremony was the second edition of the DATE Awards which highlight international and local organizations who have made significant and impactful contributions to the development of Dominican Republic tourism. Winners of DATE Awards include the following:
Best Destination Management Company—Meeting Point Dominicana
Best Tour Operator—Sunwing Travel Group
Best Online Travel Agency—Hotelbeds
Best Airline—JetBlue Airways Corporation
While the Dominican Republic Ministry of Tourism (MITUR) is DATE's main sponsor, there were several sponsors and supporters who made the event possible. This year's DATE conference was held March 27th at BlueMall PuntaCana. DATE welcomes international tourism operators and professionals to discuss business plans for the year with 150 of the country's leading tourism suppliers.

Don't you love to take a peak inside other peoples' kitchens? I know I do! I'm starting a series this week, and for the next couple of weeks, about homesteaders' kitchens. My homesteading friends and I are going to let you take a tour of the most important room in our homes. It's where the magic of cooking from scratch, making our own body care products and, in my case, homeschooling happens.
Our kitchen is pretty small considering our entire house is less than 1200 sq ft. The kitchen is my favorite space in the house and where we spend the majority of our day. We have an open floor plan and our home doesn't seem so small with that and the 10.5 ft ceilings.
This is where the dish washing takes place. When we built our home in 2012 we found a few of these cupboards on Craigslist. My husband built the rest of the cupboards along with all the doors. At the house where I picked up the used cupboards they had a sink they were throwing out and replacing during their remodel. Well that sink has happily been in my kitchen for almost four years now. As you can see, we do not own a dishwasher. Most of the time it's not a big deal, but when canning season rolls around I sure would love to have one. After you're on your feet all day, the last thing you want to do is wash a sink load full of dishes.
This is the pantry. My husband also built this for me after we moved in. He made me a spice rack on the door and a slanted shelf in the pantry so we can store our canned foods where we can easily see what we have. He also built all the shelving in the pantry and those are the handmade crates we make for our family business that are organizing all our food.
This is where the coffee magic happens every morning. I'm not sure I will stick with a Keurig long term but for now it's working for me. I switched to using a refillable pod to cut down on grocery expenses and so far so good.
This is my baking counter. I make all my breads and baked goods here using my KitchenAid Mixer. That's my aloe plant that I use for burns and skin irritations and a picture of my boys on the windowsill. Those are sheds we've found on our property hanging on the wall and that's our butter dish on the counter. We leave our butter out and don't refrigerate it.
This is the island and the cook stove. I found the cook stove used on Craigslist too. My husband built this island along with all of the kitchen countertops. Isn't he the best?! That's my Lodge 12 inche skillet that we use daily, the Pioneer Woman salt and pepper shakers, and a honey serving jar.
This is the glass slider door that leads out onto our deck and the closed door goes to our laundry room. The dark wooden sign above the slider says "Friends are Family One Finds Along the Way." Living away from our family and only have friends down here made this sign appropriate for our home.
Here is a view from the corner by our kitchen table.
The view from the corner by the glass slider door.
This is where we eat and where homeschooling takes place. The tote to the left organizes all of Evan's books for school and the map is used as reference while learning. The dry erase board on the wall is used for daily to-do lists, scripture memorization, or diagramming sentences. That's a placemat hanging on the wall that shows the presidents of the United States since we are studying our government and the election process right now.
This, of course, is my pride and joy. This is the shelf my husband built me to store my homemade canned goods. The bottles along the top are ones we've found while hiking in our woods.
This picture is taken from the countertop where I do my baking.
This is where I keep my cookbooks, cloth napkins, and the teacher's manuals for school.
Like many, I'm nosy and really enjoy 'going' into other people's homes.
Tell your friends to share away, and link it for us!
I love seeing other peoples' kitchens also. I love your's and the practical, utilitarian layout.
I love the wood counter tops, so pretty! And you are so nicely organized! Handy husbands are just so handy. But I need you to come organize my kitchen.
I LOVE the green walls!
Thanks, Tammy! I am the same way. I love to look instead a person's home and see how they decorate and how their kitchens are laid out.
Thanks, Tara! I love my kitchen too. It really is laid out well and very useful even though it's on the smaller side.
Green is my favorite color! Sometimes I look at them and think I'll never change the color of my walls because I love them so much!

STAFF & GUIDES
Northern Alpine guides is a guide service run by certified guide Seth Hobby and his wife Maren Eek Bistrup. We have a tight group of professionally trained guides who will unlock your potential and give you the security, safety, and skills to travel safely in the mountains. We lead trips for guests of varying skill levels and experience. All our programs are run at low ratios in order to insure quality in service and safety.
All our guides are hand picked and reflect our standard of professionalism. We also hand pick the objects and activities we offer, and we are passionate about human powered adventures.
We have an amazing Base Camp at Nyvågar in Lofoten with easy access to all the activities and facilities you can dream of in Lofoten. Here we also offer full board accommodation and events with amazing facilities. Join us for an adventure of a lifetime!
Quality and Professionalism is the approach we bring to the planning, organization, and execution of every trip run by Northern Alpine Guides; wether its an Alaska Range expedition, climbing big ice in Norway, skiing in the Lofoten Islands, climbing a technical high altitude peak, or trekking lost valleys of the Nepal Himalaya. We never marginalize the resources needed to provide you with the first-class experience we promise you when you book with us. Business ethics driven by Quality and Professionalism is the best way we know of repaying the trust you place in us.
We strive to make your entire Northern Alpine Guides trip a safe, enjoyable, and successful experience without rushing you to the summit and back. All of our trips are customized and tailored to your dreams, objectives, and skill level. We listen to you first and then develop a personalized trip for you. Our company is focused on you and your experience in the mountains.
Small Ratio Programs
We pride ourselves on safety and success in the mountains. A small group size is not only safer but allows for more one on one instruction, more time spent climbing, and more fun. Obviously the ratio or group size that we can guide affects our prices. You may find companies offering lower prices but they will always have higher climber-to-guide ratios than us. We feel that larger groups and higher ratios compromise the safety, enjoyment, and success of individual participants. We take our job seriously and believe we cannot offer the best experience for you if we don't manage our group sizes correctly. On soft adventures like hiking and other triviell activities we manage bigger groups.
Northern Alpine Guides has made a commitment to reducing our impact in all aspects of our business. We travel to some of the most beautiful and pristine areas in the world and do our best to minimize the physical and cultural footprints we leave behind. All of our expeditions practice the Leave No Trace code of ethics and we strive to make other business choices that will help make our planet an even better place to live.
All our guides are certified through IFMGA or qualified in the IFMGA guide training program. They have impressive technical ability, strong decision making skills and judgment, nevertheless their ability to teaching is what sets them aside from the rest. We will spend the extra time to make sure you get the most out of your trip. Our instruction focuses on skills, techniques, and the proper application to the terrain. Our guides love to teach you the skills you need to unlock your climbing ability from within.
IFMGA is an international organization that set the standard for the highest education of mountain guides in the world. In Norway its the national guide association called NORTIND that is responsible for the education. The education includes climbing, skiing, glaciers and will train the guides to be able to handle complex terrain and situations in the alpine

Staff and Guides
We are a company of extremely experienced guides. All the guides who work for Northern Alpine Guides have gone through extensive training in the art of guiding. Mountain Guiding is a profession we believe should be taken very seriously. Continued education, accreditation, and certification is important to us and we choose our guides accordingly. Although certification is important it does not assure you that one is a great guide. We have worked with all of our guides for nearly a decade now and have very close friendships with our crew. Being a small company it allows us to be selective the guides for our trips. It doesn't get any better than the crew of Northern Alpine Guides!

Home Threatened future
Photo: Sampo Kiviniemi
The future of Helsinki-Malmi Airport is threatened by the Finnish government's misguided decision in principle (March 2014) to close down the airport in favor of housing construction by 2020, and by short-sighted city planning by City of Helsinki. Helsinki-Malmi Airport is among the sites coveted for housing construction regardless of its weak clay ground reaching to a depth of 10-25 m, which makes the area extremely expensive to build. In the latest visions, apartment blocks for 20 000 or even 30 000 people are planned.
There is no other airport with international-level services for light air traffic within 150 km of Helsinki. With the loss of Helsinki-Malmi Airport, the strongly growing light business aviation sector would no longer have an airport with smooth service in the capital region, which is the financial locomotive of Finland. Such a course would be in direct contradiction with the European Union's strategy on the growing air traffic.
Along with Helsinki-Malmi Airport, the aviation sector would lose all the synergy advantages of the centralized aviation, maintenance and repair activities that have developed over the decades. This would be a fatal blow to Finnish aviation know-how. Most of the flying schools at Malmi Airport would in practice have to close down, as there is no sufficient client base for them on any other airport in Finland. Judging the matter with their long experience, the flying schools and other aviation businesses of Malmi Airport have made this clear in their official statements. 1.1 million people live in the capital region, whereas in e.g. Tampere region there are 360.000 people and in Turku region 300.000 people. A more than 65% reduction in the customer base is enough to destroy any company.
In addition to destroying the finest old aviation milieu in Finland, forcing the activities to move far away would be a fatal blow to pilot education in the capital region where a substantial number of potential aviators live. In addition to the commercial flying schools, the aviation clubs operating at Helsinki-Malmi offer relatively inexpensive private pilot's licence training, while the Airport is easily accessible to anyone in the capital region. Voluntary maintenance work keeps the aircraft of these clubs airworthy. With the loss of Malmi Airport, the distances and costs increasing to an unreasonable level would make general aviation wither away from the most populous area in the country.

Томас Морли (; 1557 или 1558, Норидж — октябрь 1602, Лондон) — английский композитор, теоретик музыки и нотоиздатель.

Биография
Томас Морли родился в Норидже, в семье пивовара. Документальных сведений о первоначальном музыкальном образовании Морли нет. Вероятней всего, был хористом в кафедральном соборе родного города, где в 1583-1587 гг. работал в должности органиста и капельмейстера. Возможно, учился у У. Бёрда, которого почтительно называет «master» в посвятительном предисловии к своему музыкальному трактату (напечатанному в зрелые годы, в 1597). В 1588 году окончил Оксфордский университет со степенью бакалавра музыки. В 1589 году переехал в Лондон, где служил органистом в Соборе св. Павла, а в 1592—1602 гг. — в Королевской капелле (был её регулярным членом, или «джентльменом»).

Предполагают, что в Лондоне в 1590-е гг. Морли общался с представителями театральных сообществ; неоднократно обсуждалось возможное знакомство Морли с Шекспиром (они жили в одном месте, Bishopsgate); однако, никаких документов, подтверждающих такое знакомство, нет. В 1593 году вышла в свет первая публикация музыкальных сочинений Морли — сборник трёхголосных канцонетт (), который автор посвятил графине Пемброк. В дальнейшем напечатал ещё несколько сборников канцонетт. В 1594 г. опубликовал первый сборник собственных (английских) мадригалов для четырёх и пяти голосов, в 1595 г. — сборник пятиголосных balletti (1595).

В 1598 году Морли получил новую королевскую лицензию на издание книг, нот и «линованной» (т.е. нотной) бумаги. Расширяя сферу своей издательской деятельности, Морли рассчитывал заработать не столько на нотах, сколько на стихотворных переложениях Псалтири (т.наз. «метрической» Псалтири), которые у тогдашних протестантов были в большом ходу. Как нотоиздатель, способствовал распространению в Англии итальянской светской музыки (прежде всего, мадригалов). Среди прочих печатал сочинения Дж. Анерио, А. Феррабоско, Л. Маренцио, О. Векки, Л. Виаданы.

В поздние годы Морли продолжал издавать собственные сочинения, в сборнике «Первая книга арий» (1600). Кроме того, в сборнике «Первая книга упражнений для консорта, сочинённая наилучшими авторами» (1599), он опубликовал ряд пьес английских авторов (в том числе, Дж. Доуленда, П. Филипса и Ж. Фарнеби) в собственном переложении для секстета инструментов. Особое значение в истории музыки приобрёл сборник «Триумфы Орианы» (1601), в который вошли мадригалы 22 современных композиторов и 2 мадригала самого Морли, посвящённые загадочной Ориане. Ценность антологии — в представительной картине разнообразных стилей и техник композиции, господствовавших в английской музыке конца XVI века.

О последних годах жизни Морли почти ничего неизвестно, кроме того, что в предисловиях к своим поздним изданиям он жалуется на болезнь. Считается, что Морли умер в расцвете лет, в октябре 1602 г., с учётом даты элегии Т. Уилкса «Воспоминание о моём друге Томасе Морли» (с инципитом «Death hath deprived me of my dearest friend»).

Творчество
Неизвестно, кто и когда привил Морли вкус к итальянской ренессансной музыке; очевиден лишь факт, что Морли был её страстным пропагандистом и как издатель, и как композитор, и как музыковед. Он первым начал популяризировать в Англии мадригал, сам написал десятки мадригалов на английском языке (из наиболее известных — «April is in my mistress' face» и «On a fair morning, as I came by the way»). Морли был отличным полифонистом, но в равной степени владел и письмом в новейшем гомофонно-гармоническом складе. Он ввёл в употребление в Англии жанр баллетто по стилистической модели Дж. Гастольди (наиболее известно «Now is the month of maying»). Аналогичным образом, английские канцонетты сочинялись по «итальянской» модели Ф. Анерио. В общей сложности, мадригалы, канцонетты и balletti Морли насчитывают более 100 названий.

Менее значителен вклад Морли в инструментальную музыку (сохранилось несколько фантазий и танцевальных пьес для лютни и клавесина, а также сборник аранжировок для консорта). Морли также писал музыку для англиканского богослужебного оффиция (в т.ч. заупокойного) — антемы (всего около 20), мотеты, респонсории, псалмы.

Морли — автор трактата «Простое и доступное введение в практическую музыку» (, 1597), который приобрёл большую популярность в Англии уже в начале XVII века. Написанная живым языком с юмором, книга Морли явно нацелена на широкую «демократическую» аудиторию. О предметах «практической музыки» (т.е. о том, как читать, исполнять и сочинять музыку) повествует строгий зануда, учитель Гнорим (Gnorimus), которого поддразнивают два не очень прилежных ученика. Трактат состоит из трёх частей и содержит учение о нотации (часть I), двухголосном контрапункте (часть II) и развитых формах многоголосной музыки (часть III). Изложение серьёзных теоретических тем (с ясно ощущаемой опорой на гармонию Царлино) перемежается лирическими отступлениями, в которых Морли излагает собственный взгляд на эстетику современной ему музыки (особенно в третьей части). В учебнике полностью отсутствует традиционное учение о ладах (церковных тонах); судя по учебным предписаниям и нотным примерам, Морли представляет себе многоголосие уже как (ранне)тональное, с цифрованным басом, мелодией и аккомпанементом (хотя, как теоретическая концепция, эта точка зрения прямо нигде не постулируется).
