The court increased his fine and found him guilty of ethnic agitation, after he was previously only found guilty of defaming religion in two lower courts. · There are great regional differences in the amount of waste. In September of that year the Helsinki District Court convicted Halla-aho of defaming religion and ordered him to pay a fine of 330 euros. The defamation of religion charges stem from Halla-aho's 2008 comments in his controversial blog Scripta, that the prophet Muhammad was a paedophile, and that Islam is a religion of paedophilia. The most waste reported from a hundred metres of beach was 7001,200 pieces.

In any reported sample, 3060 per cent of all waste is plastic. Similarly, Mikaela Nylander, the chair of the Swedish People's Party's Parliamentary group, said at her party's congress in Kok- kola over the weekend that Halla-aho should resign his post as chairman of the Administration Committee of Parliament, saying: "His political trust is gone. · It has been estimated that 70 per cent of all trash that ends up in the sea sinks to the bottom. What we provide is a unique opportunity to learn more about different areas of business that impact your career potential. Also, the waste disposal system in the Finnish archipelago functions well. The Finns Party, and Soini above all, need to draw the right conclusions." Halla-aho, however, maintains that Supreme Court decision was not "divine truth" after the court increased his original fine to 550 euros, and ordered that he remove certain references from his blog, saying the decision is "wrong and unjust," and will not affect his position as chairperson of the Administration Committee of Parliament, his membership of the Finns Party or his candidature in the upcoming municipal elections. Focus on waste dumping in the Baltic Dumping in the Finnish Baltic Sea is to be more extensively mapped during the coming years, with the aim of reducing the amount of waste. T U O M A S T I R K KO N E N S T T HEL SINKI TIMES DUMPING is acknowledged as a problem, even though it is a smaller environmental threat for Finland's part of the Baltic Sea than, for example, eutrophication. Lehto had been on probation for previous similar offences. The racial hatred charges relate to his comments that "that robbing passersby and living on taxpayers' expense are cultural, and possibly genetic, characteristics of Somalis." The comments were originally made in defence of far-right nationalist Seppo Lehto, who was sentenced to two years and four months' imprisonment on nine counts of gross defamation, inciting ethnic hatred and religious blasphemy against Islam by the Tampere District Court on 30 May 2008. Information from authorities and research departments is being compiled for the first phase of the national sea conservation plan, to be completed by mid-July. "The first goal is to chart the amount, quality and effects of dumping, and the overall goal is to decrease the amount of waste," says research manager Juha-Markku Leppänen from the Finnish Environment Institute. Plastics reveal the state of the sea According to Leppänen, the Baltic Sea is doing better than many other seas because international maritime traffic is not allowed to dump waste in the water. "Thirty plastic bottles and bags can be found within a 500 metre radius, but this is a significantly smaller number than in many places in the oceans," Leppänen says. The question is one of political trust. At the time of that controversy, Soini himself requested at least a temporary suspension from the parliamentary group, although the eventual two-week suspension was half of what the party leader first sought. Increasing criticism As chairperson of the Administration Committee of Parliament, which amongst other things deals with immigration issues, Halla-aho has come under increasing criticism from politicians from across the political spectrum. Different committee groups and Parliamentary groups can consider now whether or not to take action on this matter. "Hallaaho and the Finns Party will have to live with this ruling, although Halla-aho was not an MP at the time that he wrote the statements," Soini said.

This is why it is not included in the samples collected for research purposes. Halla-aho's comments led to his being charged in Helsinki District Court with ethnic agitation, as well as breach of the sanctity of religion, or defamation of religion, in March 2009. Minister for Foreign Affairs Erkki Tuomioja (SDP) wrote in his blog over the weekend that Soini needs to distance himself from the "extreme nationalist and racist wing" of his party. "Unfortunately, we only have very limited information on how waste dumping affects the sea in Finland and the whole Baltic area," says Ulla KaarikiviLaine, governmental advisor at Finland's Environmental Administration. The charge of ethnic agitation was dismissed at the time. In October 2010, the Court of Appeal upheld the District Court's conviction and similarly dismissed the ethnic agitation charge.

This is driving the over-extraction of water resources and the pollution of freshwater ecosystems resulting in rivers running dry, lake and groundwater levels dropping, and freshwater species becoming endangered.

In 2010, 32,400 students passed the examination, representing a 0.3 per cent increase from 2010. However, at the moment only few Finnish companies have evaluated their exposure to water related risks, or expanded their water stewardship activities beyond national borders, according to a report by WWF, Aalto University, the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) and Agrifood Finnish companies such as UPM are taking an increasing interest in water stewardship as part of decreasing their water footprint. The water footprint · According to WWF, rising population and income levels are leading to an increased demand for water-intensive products such as meat, sugar and cotton. The largest part of this virtual water footprint comes from agriculture. This indirect water usage is described as `virtual' water. Farming products and agriculture account for 82 per cent of this, manufacturing for 15 per cent and household water consumption for the remaining 3 per cent.

However, according to Nikula, boycotting Egyptian cotton farmed near the Nile, which also suffers from water shortages, is not the answer. UPM has broadened its activities to include testing international standards for water stewardship, and engaging local stakeholders in these. L E H T I K U VA Corporate waterawareness needed In many ways, Finland is considered to be a model country for water resources management. "Instead, it is better to turn to Finnish retailers and ask where their products come from, and how water resources are managed in production areas. Depending on the sector, companies might be heavily dependant on water resources abroad, and thus exposed to risks such as floods or other interruptions in production," says Nikula. This way consumers can encourage companies to invest in transparency in all levels of the production chain, and craft more responsible policies," Nikula says.

In the Finnish food industry, Raisio has been a forerunner in water footprint assessments, as well as a global pioneer in water footprint package marking. "Especially with agriculture and industrial production, the excessive use of water reserves starts affecting a river's ecosystem and creates competition with other water users," Nikula says.

TEEMU HENRIK SSON HEL SINKI TIMES FOR the price-conscious traveller, booking plane tickets is a treasure hunt that involves sifting through websites of flight companies, online travel agencies and travel search engines. Aeroplanes and sports cars, for example, have printed parts.

In the industrial world, 3D printing has been a part of everyday life since the 1990s. The most affordable printers cost a little over 400 euros. "With some companies, very often you'll find cheaper prices through a travel agency," says Vartiainen. Jukka Tuomi, Research Director of the BIT Research Centre of Aalto University and Chairman of FIRPA, the Finnish Rapid Prototyping Association, also believes in 3D printing, or rapid prototyping.

In my opinion, equipment capable of reproducing higher quality will be so expensive that it will not be found in every home just yet," says Tuomi.. This means that the airline does not need to try to attract customers with cheaper tickets even when they book early. Previously sold-out price categories may become available again after cancellations. Hearing aids, for example, are now printed to fit the ear of the user. This is because airline prices include service charges. At the hardware store it might soon be possible to print the handle of a tool to fit each and every customer's hand.

"The accuracy of cheaper equipment and their ability to reproduce details are enough for mock-ups. To start with, all flight companies use predictions based on historical data, allowing them to estimate the expected demand for their flights in advance. Products don't have to be imported from China or stored anywhere," says Risto Linturi, Manager at Sovelto, a company that organises courses on threedimensional printing. But sometimes this is less than what airlines charge as additional fees.

"The bottom line for the flight company is to have a full plane at takeoff," says Mikko Vartiainen, Country Manager at Travelmarket.fi, a search engine for flight tickets.

The pub was closed after Jewish Israelis smashed his windows and the bottles within during the race riots two weeks back. But progressive Democrats have not done well in all their races this year. Rand Paul is the son of Representative Ron Paul, a libertarian Republican who has served Texas in the US House for decades and ran for president multiple times. Knesset (parliament) members gave inflammatory speeches at the rally. However, the once powerful Blue Dog Coalition (BDC), a group of centrist Democrats in the US House, is seeing its membership dwindling. After assaulting him twice following the riots, local Israelis have warned him to stop repairing his bar, and threatened to assault him again. These include some of the recent Congressional primary elections in states throughout the US; the retirement of longtime senator Olympia Snowe, a moderate Republican from Maine; and the decline of the Blue Dog Coalition of centrist Democrats. Four months before the race riots, Zegata was beaten up by a group of Jewish Israeli teenagers. When you have a Democratic Party all over the map, con- ative Paul is retiring this year. Michael Ben Ari from the far right National Union Party claimed that Africans are rapists, and said the "time for talk is over." Mobs responded to such speeches by chasing and beating asylum seekers, vandalising African-owned stores, and breaking the windshield of a car carrying African men. The Congressional Pro- gressive Caucus (CPC) currently has 73 voting US House members, two non-voting House members, and one US senator, Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont.

But Strahan argues that this is not entirely a bad thing. Massie was backed by US Senator Rand Paul, a Republican with libertarian ideology, also from Kentucky, who is attempting to strengthen the Tea Party Caucus. A particularly brutal incident came last year when some African girls were jumped by a group of Jewish Israeli youth.

Numerous other attacks have taken place. Polarisation clarifies choices for voters. Israel is home to approximately 60,000 African asylum seekers, 85 per cent of them from Eritrea and Sudan. In fact, a highly polarised US Congress has been typical throughout US history, with the last several decades of moderation as the anomaly, Strahan said. Another Tea Party-backed candidate, Richard Murdoch, created a big upset last month when he defeated Senator Richard Lugar, a moderate Republican from Indiana. "The glass, this isn't a problem," he says in fluent Hebrew, pointing to the cracks. "The pattern that has been present since the 1930s where you had a big conservative element in the Democratic Party and a big moderate element in the Republican Party - those days are pretty well gone," Randall Strahan, a professor of political science at Emory University, explains. Some asylum seekers have been coming daily to the organisation with complaints about violence, but Rozen says most refugees who have been harassed or attacked by Jewish Israelis do not approach NGOs or the police for help. Currently, there are four US senators and 62 US House members who are part of the Tea Party Caucus, including Senator Paul, as well as Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina, Mike Lee of Utah, and Jerry Moran of Kansas, all Republicans. One of the attackers was armed with a knife. The evidence is just the opposite; hotly contested politics turns out voters
Perhaps most importantly, Vartiainen has called for unions to be more accommodating with their wage demands, so that wages in Finland do not rise faster than the average in the eurozone.

But Finnish productivity gains have not kept pace with the cost of labour. It had a trade surplus of almost 13 billion euros, a company that was one of the most valuable in Europe, and a commanding lead in mobile technology, one of the fastest-growing industries on the planet. Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen has come out in favour of the deal, and has even hinted that we might ask for collateral again. We're not sure exactly how bad it is. Against all three of our main trading partners Russia, Germany and Sweden Finnish competitiveness is falling. To be honest, I'm pessimistic. The inevitable finally happened over the weekend, and Spain announced that it would ask for up to 100 billion to recapitalise its banks. THE problems in Spain have been simmering for a long so severe that doubts exist whether it can remain in the common currency. Since the introduction of the common European currency, its unit labour costs have only increased 3 per cent, far lower than Finland's 28 per cent growth. Finland's competitiveness has eroded against its peers, but it has no currency to devalue to help its position. DAV I D J .

To make matters worse, productivity has declined in Finland since the crisis, while it has grown slightly in the eurozone. The national government needed to step in. Spain has already implemented austerity measures, so there probably won't be additional requirements for the bailout. The Spanish government will accept the loan, but the money will only flow to the banks, and not to the general government.

WE thought that Spain was too big to bail out. Much of their problems stem from a boom and bust in the real estate market, and Spanish banks are therefore sitting on bad debts that are simply enormous. Yet since the financial crisis Finland's unit labour costs have grown nearly twice as fast as the eurozone average. FOR Finland, we might contribute about 1.8 billion of IN THE year 2000, the future looked bright for Finland. This is especially apparent for the members of Europe's periphery. I've seen estimates ranging from 180 to 400 billion worth of bad real estate loans. SO some Spanish banks need to be recapitalised, but private funds can't be found. For instance, in 2000 one euro would buy about 0.6 British pounds worth of goods and services. Finnish labour costs have increased 15 per cent since 2007, while in the eurozone costs have grown only 7 per cent. We'll know the exact amount after some reports have been issued about the state of the banks in the coming weeks. Finnish unions, however, don't think that controlling labour costs is the answer.

AS of the time of writing, here is what we know: the loan will only come from European bailout funds, and the IMF won't participate this time. In particular, Huutola suggested strengthening the mining industry in Eastern and Northern Finland, focusing on tourism, a threeday annual training session for all employees, and enacting Jorma Eloranta's proposals to halt the catastrophic decline in foreign direct investment.

If you add all this together, it is conceivable that Spain would need to borrow about 250 billion this year alone. Germany is the exemplar of this process. The pound has decreased in value, making UK exports more competitive in relative terms. "One of the key messages here is that a better quality of working life improves productivity," said Matti Huutola of the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions at a recent speech. If anything, they say wages are too low. It might calm investors to the point that yields on Spanish debt will come down, and they will consent to continue lending, at least in the short term. MY main hope is that this bailout will give the politicians some time to come up with a permanent solution, one that is squarely aimed at the imbalances that caused this problem to begin with. This is in direct contrast to some developed economies such as Germany, Sweden and the United States, or even some growing Eastern European economies such as Poland.

What can Åland offer its new residents. Other factors that increase Åland's attractiveness to newcomers are its political autonomy, self-governance in many areas, as well as the Swedish language. It is of course easier to find work in Mariehamn and the surrounding areas, but even rural regions and the archipelago are places with enormous potential for people who want to realise their dreams. Throughout generations, Åland's economy has been based on shipping, banking, insurance, gaming and the IT industry. Unemployment is at a record low compared to other regions in Europe. For more information about starting your own business in Åland, visit www.investaland.ax Useful links for getting to know Åland: www.visitaland.com www.investaland.ax www.aland.ax www.peace.ax. Naturally, there are certain rules and regulations one should be acquainted with. Save your precious time by shortening your commute, whether it is to work, your summer place, the airport, the post office or the golf course! These are just some of the many things that, for Karlström, guarantee a great quality of life. What is the biggest news from Åland's business community this year. What are the foremost business sectors that Åland seeks to develop. Moving to Åland and buying a house or apartment is very simple, says Fredrik Karlström, Minister for Trade and Industry of the Åland Government. Great opportunities exist within the hi-technology sector, as well as in the small-scale manufacturing industries. What is most captivating about Åland. Contact the local authorities at www.komhem.nu, and they will tell you more about moving here permanently and answer any questions you may have. According to the latest economic survey from the Statistics and Research Bureau of Åland, ÅSUB, companies have a positive outlook for growth and expansion. Visit us in the summer and move here in the autumn. FACTS Åland is an autonomous, demilitarised and Swedish-speaking region in Finland. There are, of course, also apartments for sale or to rent. In addition, Åland even has a hi-tech manufacturing sector that is a world leader in certain areas. The same optimism is evident within Åland's business community, with many new sectors experiencing rapid growth. The combination of nature, sea and all of Åland's wonderful secret places and the fact that it has constantly grown over the last few decades this speaks for itself why you should move here to realize your dreams and shape your future. Which economic sectors are experiencing the most rapid growth in Åland. You can rent or buy an apartment or buy a house in a planned area. The advantages are numerous. HELSINKI TIMES This page is sponsored by Magma 14 20 JUNE 2012 11 Magma is a Finland-Swedish think-tank www.magma.fi In Åland anything is possible Enthusiasm and opportunities are there. Åland needs more educated and creative people who want to participate in developing both business and the public sector. Proximity to the sea, the archipelago and beautiful nature are also important for many. A member of the EU, but not of the European tax union, Åland also has its own flag and postage stamps. Why do more and more people want to live and work in Åland. However, I see great potential in the service sector, dairy and plastics industries and tourism. Shipping, with its varied functions, and the public sector employ many. It has its own parliament, which appoints the Åland Government. www.aland.ax Approximately 28,300 people live in Åland's 16 municipalities. Competent workers are in great demand in the service and public sectors. The Åland Islands consists of more than 6,500 islands. It only takes 10 minutes to travel to work, and you will even find the trade and industry minister's phone number in the phone book. In the maritime sector, we are looking at large investments in vessels by both the Eckerö and Viking Line ship owners, while on land a large new retail mall providing 50-60 new jobs is under construction. What about Åland's labour market at the moment. If you want to build your dream house, there are some hundred plots to choose from throughout Åland. Anyone can move to Åland. It is not. Which sectors provide the most jobs in Åland. My role is to assist innovators and entrepreneurs to fulfil their ambitions, and to create the world's best business environment, drawing on existing conditions in Åland. In addition, Åland has more than 2,500 registered businesses, but we have room for more businesses, and welcome them to relocate here. Just about every home has internet access. Many families choose to move to Åland not only for work, but also because of the short commutes, our safe society and great schools. Apart from being the world's greatest place to live, where everything is situated close by, Åland also offers a vibrant cultural life, exceptionally good schools, safety and security. And if it doesn't, you need only to set about making things happen to become the master of your own fate. One myth that I definitely want to debunk is that it would be difficult to move here. We are going towards a bright future. Regular flight, ferry and bus connections make it easy to travel to, from and throughout the islands. Taking into account the large number of people who are due to retire in the coming years, Åland really is a region that can offer employment, quality of life and opportunities for personal development in the future. Around 11,000 live in the only city, Mariehamn. At the moment there are plenty of residential plots available. Anyone can buy an apartment or one of the hundreds of pre-planned plots. Unemployment is low and employment levels high. In Åland, everything is possible for those willing to work here. Åland is close to everything and everyone. Even I, as Minister for Trade and Industry, don't believe it should be politicians who decide what entrepreneurs choose to invest in. Shipping, tourism and the public sector dominate Åland's economy. Åland has everything you need within 10 minutes' distance. What is the housing situation like in Åland. Communications with the neighbouring capitals and major cities are good, as are transport links. Åland's transport links are outstanding. Is there work in Mariehamn, the countryside or even in the archipelago. The various ferries make a stop in Åland round the clock; flights from Mariehamn to Stockholm take 25 minutes, 30 minutes to Turku and 50 minutes to Helsinki. Distances to work and the authorities are short. Åland has something for everyone

Finland's capital city, rocks jutting up out of the earth at odd angles are not an uncommon sight. Let the person who needs our expertise and is able to pay for our know-how, do so.

Authentic Helsinki heat A favourite Finnish pastime lives on in the public saunas. A N N I K A R A U TA KO U R A HEL SINKI TIMES THE sauna is a substantial part of Finnish culture. Whether taking advantage of this serenity or sampling the commercial and artistic lifestyle that the city has to offer, you are sure to find something to please you. Meaning: Example: Hardships will test their strength. The long running park tradition of the city led to its becoming the first city in Finland to house a National Urban Park in 2001. Several steam and electric saunas exist in Kuusijärvi, Vantaa, where sauna season opens again during the autumn. For Finnish people, the sauna is a place to relax in with friends and family, and a place for phys- ical and mental relaxation as well. In the late 13th century Häme Castle was built here in order to secure Swedish power in Finland. A therapeutic treatment known as kuppaus, or cupping, has been available in these local saunas for as long as the saunas have been standing. However, they also garnered a reputation for prostitution and sexually transmitted diseases. A new, environmentally-friendly public sauna will open in Merihaka, Hakaniemi next autumn. City apartments The origin of public saunas dates back to when most city apartments did not contain a sauna, or even regular bath facilities. For those who seek a less drastic form of pampering, a range of options are available, including a complete body wash, massages, energy treatments and manicures or pedicures.

Hämeenlinna highlights · Hämeenlinna is the birthplace of Finnish composer Jean Sibelius. From the 1950s onwards, public saunas became increasingly rare as common saunas became more common in apartment buildings. While it requires manual work, it offers the ultimate Finnish mökki experience, which is often completed by a dip in the sea or a lake located near the sauna. Passing through the park you can enjoy a walk along Vanajavesi lakeside promenade, built through an old sawmill area, which will lead you back to the city centre and all the way to the railway station.

Now, celebrating its first centenary, the Finnish Association of Designers Ornamo brings to Taidehalli an exhibition that tells the story of Finnish design from modernism to the future through objects selected by designers and users. O'Keeffe's dedicated control of her public persona also contributed significantly to her success in establishing a reputation as one of America's key modernists in the 1910s. Speaking of whom: just what is Moore doing here. Cyrus is a teenager navigating her way through the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship, with Demi Moore as her protective mother. Having kickstarted her career as the wholesome Hannah Montana, the youngster seeks to make the difficult transition from teenage star to respected 20-something. After a few notable appearances in such flicks as Bobby (2006), Mr Brooks (2007) and last year's Margin Call, this appears to be a big step backwards for the actress, whose increasingly youthful appearance continues to set tabloid tongues wagging.

While camouflage traditionally evokes images of military uniforms and equipment dissolving into the background, contemporary art associates this term with visual deception and the strategy of concealing by exposing. She presented New York as a powerful and modern metropolis; her New Mexico works feature the colours of the region's natural landscape and draw on its rich folk heritage. With the film already slated for Blu-ray release in the States, it remains to be seen just why it was decided to release LOL at the cinemas here, keeping in mind it enjoys a current IMDb rating of 1.7. Through interviews and discussions, designers of different ages tell about their work, from serial production to unique pieces, from fashion to service design and from start-up entrepreneurship to design leadership. It is the first exhibition in Finland of the modernist artist's works. Saturday night's performance forms part of a North American and European tour that has seen him perform a greatest-hits set every night, with his latest compilation 25 Years currently on shelves.

With each object holding some personal meaning for the designers, the selection varies from familiar to unexpected works that have revolutionised the life of designers. This has been marked by design that is interlocked with our very history, identity, dreams and everyday life. The exhibition includes works from such artists as Aamu Song and Johan Olin, Jiri Geller, Idiots (Afke Golsteijn and Floris Bakker), Riitta Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth, Kaisu Koivisto, Silvia B and Maaria Wirkkala.

A portion of the exhibition's content is drawn from Kiasma's own collection. Sting was last seen here in 2010 for the tour of that al- bum. Amongst these is the modular, combinable Kasaa cardboard shelf from Teemu Järvi, Karin Widnäs's simple yet imaginative Savoy tableware and Daniel Palillo's unconventional unisex fashion.
