need a temperature difference
between the different parts of

Pasterstein stresses that
when driving a child in a car,
adults are always setting an
example.
?Some time ago we received a number of reports
on speeding from parents
whose children were at
school or in day-care in Lauttasaari. The
severity of a storm depends
on the energy, or heat, that is
available to it.
?When there is more
warm air around, storms
may become more powerful,?
Jokinen explains.
Finland already has plenty of low pressure air masses
and winds that are necessary
for storms.
?Whether winds are becoming stronger or weaker is
a good question.?
Jokinen does not believe
that the ?erce storms of recent years, such as the destructive Asta in 2010, are a
sign of storms becoming more

Only a third of the headmasters stated that drivers always or almost always
stopped at zebra crossings
without traf?c lights even if
a child was waiting to cross
the road.
Pasterstein says that
even though Finnish drivers have taken a step forward in respecting traf?c
rules concerning zebra crossings, there still is some way
to go before pedestrians in
Finland are shown the same
consideration as in the neighbouring countries.
Both the headmasters

The yield will be poor also
because the pollination season was short due to the heat
wave early this summer. In addition, the survey indicates that nearly
two in three Finns would
welcome a centralised wage
agreement, while only one in
four would oppose it. The heat and
drought have caused the redcurrant bushes to drop some
of their unripe berries.
Currants are expected to
ripen quickly if the weather

THE AUSTRALIAN asylum pol-

Agency, Paci?c island leaders, migration experts and
human rights organisations.
A new Regional Settlement Arrangement agreed
between Australian Prime
Minister Kevin Rudd and
Papua New Guinea Prime
Minister Peter O?Neill, announced less than two
months ahead of an Australian national election, will
see the removal of asylum
seekers for refugee processing and resettlement in the
neighbouring Paci?c Island
state of Papua New Guinea
(PNG) located north of Australia, for an initial period of
one year.
Australia announced a
similar arrangement with
the tiny 21-square-kilometre South Paci?c nation of
Nauru, which also hosts an
Australian offshore asylum
seeker detention centre. ?The city
is like an open shop whose
owner has left,. The UNHCR reiterated that countries should
?grant protection within
their own territory, regardless of how [refugees] have
arrived.?
PNG, a Melanesian nation
of seven million, is signatory
to the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol,
but has reservations on the
rights of refugees to basic services such as employment, housing and education.
In exchange for taking
Australia?s asylum seekers, PNG will receive an additional aid package worth
507.2 million Australian dollars (452 million US dollars).
According to Australia, the
new policy aims to stop people smugglers and deter refugees from taking dangerous
journeys in unseaworthy
vessels.
In August last year, Australia announced a ?no advantage. According to an of?cial Nauru
spokesperson refugees will
have temporary residence
only.
The UN Refugee Agency
(UNHCR) said it was ?troubled by the absence of adequate protection standards

The Australian government claims it will complete

will be responsible for all refugee assessments.
PNG currently hosts an

However, in the age of austerity this is not politically
possible. A study by Yale

hate high in?ation: they remember paying more at the
grocery store, but they don?t
remember their big raise.
They believe it makes them
poorer by reducing their
standard of living. This has been
advocated as one way for Europe to get out of its sovereign debt trap.
Inside the Eurozone, in?ation in some countries

Wages and prices increased

is something rather disquieting: according to one estimate, Finland?s natural rate of unemployment is 7.8%.
WE WILL always have some level of unemployment, be-
cause we will have people moving between jobs, or jobs
offered in out-of-the-way regions, or a mismatch in
skills required and offered, for instance. Yet in our
present prolonged situation of
minimal price increases, some
economists have begun to suggest a bit more in?ation could
be a good thing.
Since 1999, in?ation in Finland has averaged less than
2 per cent. said IMF economist Olivier Blanchard in

it goes above it, this is normally due to economic conditions. Fiscal stimulus could help, but it could also hurt through

INFLATION is generally consid-
ered to be an unwelcome economic phenomenon. At the time of
issue this was probably a
fair rate, as the state of Finland has a AAA credit rating
and consumer in?ation was
at 1.5 per cent. Generally, they
favour low in?ation. Yet if in?ation increases, the state will
be using depreciated money to repay that loan. This has been suggested by
organisations such as the OECD time and time again.
AT THIS point in time, I believe focusing on our structural unemployment will do much more good in the
long term than any ?scal stimulus measures. problem. in stimulus spending, but even this
lethargic effort on Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen?s
part led to a rebuke from President Sauli Niinistö. Finland?s most recent budget was supposed to
have ?some millions. As an example, early in April Finland borrowed
about 4 billion euros and is
obliged to pay a 1.5 per cent
coupon rate. In?ation in Germany could help
Finland as well: our wages
increased much faster than
in our big southern neighbour, and higher labour
costs there could make our
products and services more
competitive in the global
marketplace.
Higher in?ation can also
give central banks room to
manoeuvre. Rapid increases in consumer prices causes
a decline in purchasing power by units of currency, so
employers are obliged to rapidly increase wages. Consumers don?t know if they should
save, purchase, or borrow.

9. But exports gradually fell with the decline of
the forestry industry and especially Nokia.
At one point Nokia made
up 20 per cent of all Finnish exports, but its collapse
ruined the domestic mobile
electronics industry. Primarily Finland sells
industrial chemicals abroad.

One of the most notable
trade imbalances is in food.
Finland?s Nordic climate is
not conducive for many agricultural products, and we
import three times as much
food as we export. BUSINESS

HEL SINKI TIMES
THE FINNISH economy may be
in recession, but exports are
one bright light in an otherwise dismal landscape. Finnish Customs says
in a release. ?Imports decreased by 12 per cent compared to the year before. Exports in machinery have fallen 14 per cent
so far from 2012.
Chemicals total about 12
per cent of Finland?s exports.
This is a growing industry,
and the country?s chemical
exports are up about 2 per
cent. Counting the ?rst
six months of the year the
country remains in a trade
de?cit but the situation is
improving.
?Calculated from January to June there was a de?cit
of 465 million euros,. Because of our high imports, we
actually run a trade de?cit in
machinery. 21 AUGUST 2013

In the past, Finland?s trade surpluss was enormous, after which it decreased, but is now recovering.
Finland returns
to trade surplus
The worrisome trade deficit has evaporated,
and Finland is back to being a net exporter.
DAV I D J . According to new information
released by Finnish Customs,
the country showed a trade
surplus of 260 million euros
in June.
Finland used to have
enormous trade surpluses. As recently as ten years
ago the nation had an annual
trade surplus of about 10 billion euros. Finland primarily exports specialised machinery, but the country also
imports quite a few machines,
particularly road vehicles. Overall basic manufactures comprise 30 per cent
of all exports.
Machinery is a close second, and make up about 26 per
cent of all exports. The next largest
basic manufactures export is
iron and steel, such as from
Outokumpu, which made up
more than 1.5 billion euros.
The exports of iron and steel
are declining, though, being
down about 11 per cent from
last year. The one
exception to this is dairy
products, where Finland runs
a healthy trade surplus.
Finland also imports
much more energy and fuels than it exports. In May 2013 Finland
reported a 90 million euro
surplus, and this increased
almost four-fold in June.
Imports fall
?The value of Finnish exports
in June 2013 decreased by 6
per cent, to almost 4.5 billion
euros,. Customs continues. The ?nancial crisis and subsequent
recession of 2008 also devastated trade, and exports have
not yet bounced back to previous levels.
Finland had a trade de?cit of almost 4 billion euros
in 2011, but this improved
to a de?cit of less than 3 billion euros in 2012
There is also concern over the
way the funding is distributed, with most of it being
channelled into basic research. for Finland.
?Military cooperation between Russia and NATO is
progressing well and is bene?cial to both parties. This, however, has not
materialised.
BOTH the public funding and investments by the busi-
ness sector are petering out, with the recession and
the IT cluster?s problems dampening the private sector?s enthusiasm for R&D investments. In 2010, the Research and Development Council
set the goal of increasing R&D funding to 4 per cent
of GDP, with the government under Katainen?s leadership making the same promise. One explanation is
the divestment taking place
in Nokia?s mobile phone
plants, which is weighing
down the output of electronics and electrical industry. Finnish
output is geared to the global investment cycle and the
global industrial cycle, as Finland produces mainly investment goods and intermediate
goods. Makarov told Finnish
of?cials.
Townsend described Russia?s ?intimating. 9 August JONATHAN BOYD

says Handelsbanken
for the electricity, gas, steam
and air conditioning supply
sectors, along with the electrical and electronics industry.
Even the forest industry saw a
decline, with output down 4.2
per cent against a year ago.
Handelsbanken said that
the identi?ed weaknesses
look ?odd given that Germany?s manufacturing output
has strengthened substantially since the beginning of
the year.?
of latest output data suggests Finland
is suffering broad-based
weaknesses in its economy, according to analysis
from Handelsbanken, raising
questions about near term
performance of Finnish equity funds.
Industrial output contracted 5.7 per cent year-on-year
according to the June data
from Statistics Finland. The way to achieve this goal was to increase R&D
funding to amount to over 3 per cent of the gross domestic product by the 2010s.

Just north of the city centre, the restored Arabia factory is home to the Arabia
Museum, which showcases
the legendary Finnish ceramics company?s creations of

uniqueness of Finnish design since the late 19th century. However, the output of
the more traditional metal

?A peek into German industry and its sectors reveals another explanation.
The strongholds of German

automobiles, vehicles and car
parts, pharmaceuticals and
wood industry, all of which
are more or less related to
global consumption demand
and the consumer. said Townsend, Deputy
Assistant Defence Secretary
for European and NATO Policy, during a news conference
on July 26.
Finland?s defence path,
and the possibility that the
country could one day join
NATO, will be decided by
?Finland and Finland alone,?

Finland?s President Sauli Niinistö, who is also commander-in-chief of the Finnish

ago, we were second only to Sweden in innovation investments in the world. The issue has
not featured as high on the agenda for the present government as it did for its predecessor.
DWINDLING innovation funding is not the only challenge the sector faces. Proportionally, we have more researchers than any other
country in the world.
THIS leaves fewer resources to the productisation of
our skills, commercialisation, business funding and export, meaning we lag behind our competitors in these
sectors. The factory is still producing Arabia

Judging from secondquarter corporate results,

on demand and the state must use its investments to

15 . Finland is fast becoming a country that funds
its skills basis with public money but loses the yields
abroad, which threatens the creation of jobs in Finland
and leads to tax revenue losses. Top companies
such as retailer Kesko (KESBV.HE) and department store
chain Stockmann (STCBV.
HE) have cited Russia as their
strongest card.
Kesko, which controls
about 35 per cent of Finland?s
grocery and hardware trade,
opened its second Russian
food store in May and plans
eight more in the next three
years.
The expansion, which
capitalizes on strong consumer trends as well as Finland?s high reputation for
food safety and product
quality, comes as Kesko has
cut hundreds of jobs in Finland and lowered its pro?t
forecasts.
?The growth potential
that the Russian markets
offer to Finland is truly remarkable in the longer term,?

I BELIEVE Finland should strive to balance out its innovation sector. In contrast, cooperation between
Finland and NATO threatens
Russia?s security.
Finland should not look to
join NATO, rather it should
preferably have closer military cooperation with Russia,. Nikolai Makarov during an of?cial visit
to Helsinki in June 2012.
Makarov warned that a

Rocking the air
THE ABILITY to captivate a
loud crowd with an electrifying solo; the charisma of reproducing legendary rock
and metal songs, all without
even holding an instrument:
air guitar playing is this and a
lot more.
Even though many believe air guitar to be a recent trend, it actually has a
history that dates back to
the 1950s. guitar and VOX
BM Special ampli?er, donated by Queen guitarist Brian
May, were among the prizes.
For the ?rst few years,
it was a complete Finnish
domination. In 2007 Japan surpassed this idea with the
invention of the Air Guitar
Pro simulator. LIFESTYLE

1969 Woodstock Music Festival, he walked on stage energetically strumming along
to the chords of his introduction set?s guitar solo.
Air guitar battles
In the beginnings of the
1980s, air guitar competitions
started surfacing in Sweden
and the United States. The
?rst is a belt buckle, with a
portable amp attached to
it or to the user?s trousers,
which plays guitar notes
whenever a magnetic pick is
strummed in front of it. In 1951, Bill Reed
of the Canadian vocal band
The Diamonds performed a
live TV rendition of the track
Word of Love, and strummed
along without a guitar. In 1996, the Air Guitar
World Championships (AGWC) came to Oulu, and have
been a popular event of each
Finnish summer since. Dozens of participants from all
over the world took part in
the event to demonstrate
their air guitar playing skills.
The judging panel included
Finnish guitarist Juha Torvinen, while a custom made
?Flying Finn. Students of what
was known as the Helsinki
University of Technology developed a system of gloves
and infrared cameras that
simulates a guitar?s sound.
In 2006, Australian researchers announced the development of a t-shirt that
would simulate sounds in
conjunction with hand movements. The
Air Guitar Move, launched in
2011, is an ?appcessory. for
iPhone and iPod Touch. Users
hold the phone in one hand
and a motion-sensing guitar
pick in the other. They can only rely on their ability to play guitar in the air, as well as the
way they dress up and their
savoir-faire on stage, the ability to captivate the audience
and judges.
A group of judges, which
often includes celebrities,
evaluates each air guitarist
using a scoring system similar to the one used for ?gure
skating. May the best ?air player. The 1996 and
1997 editions, won by Oikku Ylinen and Ville Paakkari respectively, saw air
guitarists from Finland winning gold, silver and bronze.
Johanna Ala-Siurua won in
1999, while in 2000 it was
Markus Vainionpää who

All eyes will be on Oulu, for one of the most eclectic and entertaining events

a charismatic, rocking, stagepresence. Originally meant as a side attraction to the Oulu Music Video

Technical merit refers to
how much the performance
looks like the real playing,
with particular attention to
the reproduction of all the
fretwork, chords, solos and
technical moves. Dozens
of air guitar enthusiasts gathered and faced off to the last
note. Fitting in one
hand, the device used heat
and motion sensors to detect the other hand?s motions
and produce actual guitar
sounds.

it seems a strong attraction. Originating from a
frustration over bureaucracy one has to face when setting up a restaurant, three
friends from Finland came
up with the idea of Restaurant Day. The
strike involves employees
of the fast-food industry
in New York and six other
cities in the US, thus making it the most extended strike of this particular
employment sector in the
country?s history. Initially thought of as a safe
product for those allergic
to strawberries, the white
strawberry cannot be considered as 100% safe according to Tuija Tanska,
representative of the Berry and Fruit association.
Tanska also estimates that
white strawberries are
unlikely to appeal to Finnish consumers since they
speci?cally search for a
dark red colour in strawberries, which is absent
in this variety. what else. And it is gaining
increasing popularity, as restaurants are set up all over
the world, but particularly in
Europe.
Still, Finland remains the
centre of Restaurant Day,
with already over 500 restaurants registered on the
of?cial website for the August-edition so far, providing
its visitors with unique menus with food creations ready
to be tasted. At the
moment an average McDonald?s worker earns only 8.25 dollars (6.22 euros)

Fast Food Forward, is only enough to ?nance onefourth of the employees?

garlic has the capacity to exterminate infectious germs.
Modern science offers multiple accounts of how garlic compounds are not only
powerful antioxidants, but
also have marked effects on
lipid metabolism as an effective remedy to high blood

are not yet cultivated for

Garlic has been well-known for its therapeutic potential for thousands of years.
HI
The US employees of several of the largest fast-food
chains in the world such as
McDonald?s, KFC and Burger King, came down on a
common strike supporting their demands for increased hourly wages. The strike is aiming
to increase the current
hourly pay to at least 15
dollars, which according to
the employees is the least
amount covering their daily needs. Especially fond of
ice-cream sold in kiosks
and later enjoyed in a cone

how will he cope in light of
Carrey?s recent Tweet-fest?
The Canadian comedic star
surprisingly threw the ?lm
under the bus last month in a
crisis of conscience on Twitter in light of last year?s Sandy
Hook massacre. Things are on the up
for the duo, with both about
to graduate high school and
become a crime-?ghting duo
when their plans are foiled by
Mindy?s strict stepparents.
Written and directed by
Jeff Wadlow (Never Back
Down, 2008), with Mindy
having hung up her Hit Girl
uniform, Kick-Ass begins patrolling the streets instead
with Justice Forever, a fearless group of urban watchdogs fronted by former mob
thug Colonel Stars and Stripes
(Jim Carrey). Stating that
?in all good conscience I cannot support that level of violence?, it remains to be seen
whether or not this surprising
tweet will have an effect on
?lmgoers. After landing a job
at a water park, 14-year-old
Duncan (Liam James) gains
some much-needed self-con?dence under the guidance of
happy-go-lucky park employee Owen (Sam Rockwell).
Advance word has been very
strong, with the ?lm marking the debut full-length
from Oscar winning co-writers of 2011?s The Descendants,
Nat Faxon and Jim Rash.

I only discovered the
answer to his question when I
suddenly found myself in FinSTARTED
land. My story
of Finland de?nitely began
with luck and continued by
choice. I landed in Helsinki on 23rd August 2007 and it
still feels like just yesterday. Certainly there is politics
and history, but you can live
unaware of those. There
seemed to be no way around
the cold weather (if you
would like to survive) and it
needed some getting used
to, especially if you experienced temperatures as hot as
+48°C in your homeland and
as cold as -46C° in Lapland.
As for the language, well it
seemed impossible to learn.
But I was lucky, since there
seemed to be more English
speakers in Finland than
England. Interestingly, Finland is not a dreamland to anybody, but it is like
a dream life to be there which
you can?t give up easily. Where is
that?. It is
full of culture and also cultureless, active but also lazy. like the Finnish language, but hard. I was prepared to
discover something new every single day, travel around
Finland and enjoy this new
life.
Finland appeared to be
huge to me, considering the
longest car journey in my
country, Cyprus, is about two
hours. I
was 19 years old, and a fresh
university student who was
not holding any passport of
a valid state (As Northern Cyprus is not recognised by any
state in the world). 21 AUGUST 2013

Celebrating
three years of Chinese
holistic massage in Helsinki
Our beautiful facility in Helsinki is a genuine Chinese oasis to
which you are heartfelt welcome. Needless to say, you
will never earn the British or
American accent in Finland.
Our globalised world also
gave me the luxury of tasty
imported food, so that I would
not always have to resort to
Finnish cuisine consisting of a
simple potato and meat dish!
It almost seems that Finnish
people are like their cuisine.
They don?t interrupt others?
lives and like to be on their
own. It is hard
to summarise all those years:
not ?impossible. That is when I made my
legendary phone call and told
my dad, ?I am going to Tampere!. Hundreds of customers visit our facility in Helsinki each month to receive holistic treatment and relaxing massage.
In 2013 you?ll be able to choose the one you want from two
facilities: Liangtse will open a second facility at Arkadiankatu
in Helsinki.
Back and neck massage: 39?/30 min
Meridian massage: 69?/50 min
Full body massage: 75?/60 min
