The latest salvos in this con?ict have concerned the Snowden affair and revelations of the NSA?s overseas surveillance. Non-Americans, however, might feel a bit differently. But like China, Latin America is heavily dependent on trade with the United States and thus also ambivalent about US economic decline. IT IS, in so many ways, a dangerously silly movie. But political deadlock in Washington is by no means over. And the structural issues that underlie the relative decline of the United States over the last decade remain in place.

explains Juurakko-Paavola. This is still a preliminary plan, which will not be in effect for some years to come, with the distribution of grades ranging from A to L still requiring consideration. ?Of course, we?ll have to know what level courses a candidate has taken to be able to do the grading,.

One reason for this may be that many students who take more advanced courses in the language still sit the basic level exam.

Bloomberg estimates China will install about 13 gigawatts of wind farms in 2013, 6 per cent less than last year. Wind power in Finland Unlike most of Northern Europe, Finland has historically been very reluctant to invest in wind power. Unsurprisingly, Finland has been ignored in this argument, despite the fact we seem to be the perfect model for what they are ?ghting about. WE DIDN?T intend to run current account de?cits, though. Our response to this has been focused on the south: they needed to cut public spending, reduce wages, boost exports . But Finland is part of the Eurozone and it has reduced its surplus. FINLAND ran relatively large current account surpluses until the ?nancial crisis. The state-owned Finnish Industry Investment fund also owned a portion of WinWinD.

The Finnish Wind Power Association says there is more than 8,600 megawatts of capacity coming. Yet a chance to capitalise on Finland?s growing appetite for turbines came too late for WinWinD. Over the past years others have pointed out that we core countries running a surplus should rebalance just as the periphery is doing. This annoyed the Germans, because running a huge surplus is basically what everyone wants to do. WHEN the Eurozone was created, vast amounts of capital ?owed from the core . During all of 2012 Vestas had 7.2 billion euros in sales and a net loss of almost 1 billion euros.

The thirteen year-old company had faced an increasingly dif?cult situation over the past several years. ?WinWinD has been incurring heavy losses for the past several years and the company?s debts are currently close to 300 million euros,. the company announced.. This happened because of some of our own problems: wages so high our exports were uncompetitive and the collapse of the mobile industry, for instance. Germany hasn?t adjusted at all; all of the rise in the peripheral European current accounts has taken place at the expense of the rest of the world.? HERE?S KRUGMAN is right and he is wrong. Early this year they made massive cuts to their workforce, and apparently now only have 130 people left in Finland and Sweden, down from almost 800 at the end of last year. ?We are particularly sorry to WinWinD?s personnel and their families, customers, suppliers, ?nanciers and stakeholders, and would like to inform one and all that as there was no other alternative in sight, the company had to resort to the decision to submit a voluntary bankruptcy petition,.

Finland overlooked in USA v. During the ?rst nine months of 2013 Sinovel reported an 85 million euro loss. The past several years have proved dif?cult for the entire wind energy industry.

This was according to a statement released by the Finnish Embassy in Lusaka on 1 November.

Municipalities can foster the establishment of sports buddy volunteer schemes for senior citizens in collaboration with parishes and the third sector, with the volunteer bene?tting from the physical activity as well as the elderly person, who would not exercise without someone to go with. IT IS possible to cut the time spent sedentary in every workplace while encouraging employees who are physically inactive to take up exercise through low-threshold exercise groups. Research indicates that lifestyles are formed already at this stage, with a sedentary lifestyle proving a particularly hard habit to shake off.

For So?a, preparing and passing the YKI test has proven to be not only necessary, but also motivating. ?I have been able to follow studies in Finnish after taking the test and continue the professional preparation I started in my home country.? Likewise, after passing the YKI test, Lorena has been able to successfully follow a professional course in Finnish in customer service. Sofía relates. The FNBE evaluates the results of the YKI test follow- ing the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). and the numbers up to ten.? The three of them, just like many other immigrants, decided to study Finnish or Swedish as a way to better integrate in their new society. For Sofía it was the same. ?My husband was very skeptical at ?rst and insisted that I grab a textbook, but I am very hard-headed and stuck to the Moomins because their stories are not only entertaining but have a great philosophical depth, and I thought: ?what better way to enrich my vocabulary and learn proper Finnish?. and sometimes without even knowing where it comes from. If you move to Finland for some time, say as an exchange student, you will most likely learn some useful everyday words: maybe moi or terve, so you can greet your Finnish friends, the bus driver or the sales clerk; peruna and maito if starving is not among your plans; mansikka and suklaa if you?d like to indulge yourself. However, if you plan to stay in Finland for a long period, it is useful to learn Finnish or Swedish, both of which are of?cial languages of the country. ?Besides the basic course of eight months, I read the Metro newspaper every day, watching videos at the Supisuomea website and doing the exercises that come with each issue?, she explains. ?But what really helped me was watching Moomins episodes on Youtube,. This system places foreign language speakers in levels A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2, with A1 being the most basic foreign-language skill and C2, the most advanced. Even if you do not plan of applying for Finnish citizenship, the YKI test has proved to be a positive experience for many of those who took it. ?Although I was nervous during the test, my results were satisfying and have provided me with con?dence with the language and motivation to learn it further,? explains Prakash. how can you actually demonstrate your progress? That is the purpose of the National Certi?cate of Language Pro?ciency or YKI (for its name in Finnish, Yleiset kielitutkinnot) a certi?cation issued by the University of Jyväskylä and sanctioned by the Finnish National Board of Education (FNBE). A natural progression ?I had never heard the language before,. Lorena adds. Lorena went the extra mile. Even if the YKI test is not compulsory, many language students are advised by their teachers to take it. ?The Director of the school where I was taking my basic Finnish course recommended me to take the YKI test,. explains Sofía Jokiranta from Ecuador, who moved to Finland in 2009.

Also laboratory and X-ray services are available. The YKI test is a valid document to certify your pro?ciency in any of these languages. ? Life after YKI One important prerequisite for acquiring Finnish citizenship is to have satisfactory oral and written skills in Finnish or Swedish. Lorena explains, ?I knew colloquial phrases such as ?mitä kello on??, ?paljonko maksaa??, ?hauska tutustua?, ?hyvää yötä?, ?minä rakastan sinua. ?However, I had a longstanding connection with a Finnish family I met at my home country, Nepal?, says Prakash.

?Some of the last winters have been challenging, because the ice did not freeze properly and it was dif?cult to move on frozen lakes. ?Helsinki and Porvoo, for instance, have many good coastal areas for ice ?shing,? says Tapio Gustafsson, Communications Of?cer at the Federation of Finnish Fisheries Associations (Kalatalouden Keskusliitto). Throughout the year, there are also several ice ?shing competitions and events organised all over Finland like the Alexander Ice Fishing, which will take place on Lake Kyrösjärvi in Ikaalinen on 5 January and the Enontekiö Ice Fishing Week, a series of ice ?shing competitions held around the Enontekiö municipality in April.

The recipes might be easy but their menu keeps very diverse giving their customers the opportunity to try the most traditional and tasteful ?avours of Thai cuisine. he adds. As a main course, Tamarin?s kitchen delights us with a Beef Pahd Prig Pao (14.50?), a very traditional Thai dish consisting mainly of fried meat with sweet onions, string beans, fresh basil leaves and evidently fresh Thai Chilli as well as Thai chilli paste. With no need of passport or visa, photographer Thomas Poole and I paid a visit to Tamarin Restaurant to have a real degustation of authentic Thai food. Located on Fredrikinkatu (Kamppi), Tamarin opened its doors in 2008 and is one of the ?ve Tamarin Restaurants located all over Helsinki. www.dongbeihu.fi Vilhonkatu 4 Mon-Thu 13?02, Fri-Sat 13?03, Sun 13?02 www.oluthuone.com.

Thomas, who has lived in Thailand for a few years, and who, unlike me, is accustomed to the spicy ?avours, con?rms this statement. The second main course is a non-spicy Thord Kra (18.00?) consisting mainly of stir-fried king prawns, garlic, green onion, fresh pepper and oyster as well as ?sh sauce. Of course, he counts on a solid support system having his best friend and family helping with both marketing and recruitment. Tamarin?s kitchen has been a mentor to several young cooking a?cionados, giving them the opportunity to learn and adopt Thai cuisine as their own until they become chefs themselves. Taking Tamarin in Forum as an example has a chef, nicknamed ?kiddo?, who started when he was only 15; today, after 2.5 years, he?s become a brilliant chef

And the perspective that you have is more of seeing the places and enjoying the food and culture. To sit, to feel, to experience! And talking of experiences, sometimes when you move around a lot you do live like there is no tomorrow. The glorious time of the year when it?s green and bright and day- light all night. But as the time you spend is idyllic and leisurely it?s always memorable. I?ve not heard anything as wonderful as the crackling of the wood. The dark phase gives me an excuse to hang out more with friends and get the ?replace roaring. It?s time to sort through all that I have and things that we need.

The primary reason to move was my husband?s job. To experience the summer sun on your skin, lying in the park or on the beach. To sit outside and see the hues of the sky go from bright blue to light blue to fade into orange and red, while the clock tells you it?s bedtime but the sun teases you to believe it not to be true. The sledges and skis come out, as does the playful spirit in everyone, as do the shovels. However, now it?s time to move again. I love the summers but that is a fact, I?m sure I can?t ?nd a person who?ll disagree. But I love the autumn and the romance it offers with the leaves turning gold.

But a place we?ll miss dearly. Though I have to admit that the ?rst year, the swim in the lake was just spent at the beach playing in the sand rather than venturing in the water because we thought the water was too cold for us.
