Huovinen wonders.. ?But we are not talking about prohibition here.? Huovinen believes that some areas of the legislation could be dropped if they don?t correlate to the overall consumption, while solutions that would curb it are sorely needed.

Restaurant revision But Huovinen also thinks that some parts of the legislation could be done without and that, for instance, measurement rules on alcohol portioning in restaurants will be up for evaluation during the discussion. Timo Lappi, Chief Executive of the Finnish Hospitality Association, MaRa, thinks that there are several unnecessary rules regarding alcohol consumption in restaurants. ?For example, some alcohol inspectors wouldn?t allow a man to bring two glasses of wine to the ta- ble, one for himself and the other one for his wife. he marvels. Lappi thinks the issue is that alcohol consumption in restaurants in relation to the overall consumption is decreasing. Although they might not sound appetising, both plants have some healthy properties. See pages 16, 17 THE CHAIR of the Christian Democratic Party Päivi Räsänen has accepted an apology from the editor-in-chief of Christian magazine Kirkko & Kaupunki, after an editorial that heavily criticised the controversial remarks she made at a Lutheran Church event earlier this month, which induced a spike in church resignations. An editorial by the editor-inchief of the Helsinki-based magazine Seppo Simola suggested that, in light of Räsänen?s comments, the Christian Democratic Party should disband, Räsänen step down as the party?s leader or she should keep quiet in future. In turn, Räsänen responded to this by questioning if it is indeed the intention of the Christian magazine to attack the basic freedoms of a democratic society. One would imagine that people who consume alcohol in restaurants, would consume less of it,? he said. It would be essential to have a change in attitudes towards alcohol consumption in Finland, Minister Huovinen thinks, as the issue will not simply be solved by new legislation. ?The law will be quite ineffective if the attitude in Finland doesn?t change and a discussion on what is rational and acceptable alcohol consumption can be had. 25 .

According to Jere Rauhala, a service manager at Metsähallitus, many recreational areas would not get looked after without the hours prisoners put in.

Recent protests in Brazil also addressed the arising problems of the middle class in developing countries. which Emanuel de Kadt has just published a book about.? ?I think also of a book written decades ago which argued that revolution starts not when the poor are ground down in poverty but after some improvements in living standards which stirs hopes and demands for something more,. But in any case, an increased democratisation of society goes along with greater wealth.? In Brazil, the recent protests were directed at the rising cost of living (including an increase in bus fares), high-level political corruption and extravagant spending on next year?s World Cup football tournament, estimated at more than 13 billion dollars compared to the deteriorating state of schools and hospitals in poor neighbourhoods. The protests have been described as ?the awakening of the new middle class? emerging out of poverty. Richard Jolly, honorary professor and research associate at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex, told IPS, ?It?s certainly an interesting theme though one to be written about with many question marks, rather than dogmatic certainties.?

SOUTH AMERICA FABIOL A ORTIZ IPS SEVERAL years after the start of the economic crisis in the United States and Europe, which led to a shift in migration patterns, Latin America still lacks a more inclusive view of the phenomenon of people seeking a better life abroad. This is seen as a critical factor to be discussed at the Regional Conference on Population and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, to be held 12-15 August in Montevideo, the Uruguayan capital. In the two decades since the September 1994 International Conference on Popula- tion and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, demographers have insisted on territorial inequality as one of the key factors in Latin America driving people to leave their homes in search of better quality of life. The ICPD redirected the emphasis from demographic goals to rights, said Jorge Rodríguez of the Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Centre. people forced to leave their home regions due to sudden or long-term changes to their local environment such as natural catastrophes. ?The focus became more social, and above all, more about rights,?

During the 70s, the band was a big hit in Jamaica with their danceable yet rootsy reggae and the charismatic frontman and lead singer Jacob Miller. In 1980, Miller´s tragic death in a car crash led the band to split up, but Inner Circle was regrouped again in the mid-80s with addition of pop, dancehall and r?n´b to their style. With more than twenty years of history, the band achieved international success in the 90s with the hits Sweat (A La La La La Long) and Bad Boys, the latter also known for its use as the theme song for the reality series Cops and the title song of the action film of the same name. After winning a Grammy for Best Reggae Album (Bad Boys) in 1993, the band recorded a pop-oriented follow-up album Reggae Dancer, also earning a Grammy-nomination. Since its formation, Inner Circle has gone through triumphs, tragedies and various lineup changes, but still remains one of reggae?s most successful and long-lived crossover groups with the special pop-flavored Jamaican sound and energetic live performances.

Freeing themselves of the con?nes of the press dubbing them ?the new Radiohead?, the band soon began to differentiate themselves with their subsequent releases. Follow-up Origins of Symmetry showcased a bold exploration of diverse sounds and ideas characterised by a reliance on bombastic ideas that took melodrama to often absurd heights. After a successful run of groundbreaking albums laced with an over-the-top approach, the trio?s most recent release, last year?s The 2nd Law, saw the band exploring a variety of sounds and approaches that took its musical cues from a variety of untapped wells. Fittingly, while some bands lean on the bass player?s contributions as a last resort to make up the numbers, the duo of Wolstenholme?s vocal-led tracks only further added to their winning stylistic mash-up.
