Finnish rock-music scene emerged in 1960s with pioneers such as [[Blues Section]] and [[Kirka]]. In the 1970s Finnish rock musicians started to write their own music instead of translating international hits in Finnish. During the decade some [[progressive rock]] groups, such as [[Tasavallan Presidentti]] and [[Wigwam (progressive rock)|Wigwam]], gained respect abroad but failed to make commercial breakthrough outside Finland. This was also the fate of [[rock and roll]] group [[Hurriganes]]. Finnish punk scene produced some internationally respected names including [[Terveet Kädet]] in 1980s. [[Hanoi Rocks]] was a pioneering 1980s-[[glam
Os alunos finlandeses são dos que têm mais horas de educação física por semana.La práctica de actividades deportivas contribuye al rendimiento escolar. Los defensores de esa teoría, como el director del departamento de Educación Física de la Facultad de Ciencias del Deporte y la Educación Física (INEF) de A Coruña, Xurxo Dopico, o el decano de esa facultad, Rafael Martín, echan mano del ejemplo finlandés para apoyar sus argumentos. Finlandia, país en el que según el informe PISA se ha alcanzado un mayor rendimiento académico, tiene establecido dentro de su modelo educativo la práctica diaria de ese tipo de actividades en todos los niveles. A eso hay que añadir que el 60% de los escolares hacen ejercicios con los compañeros y el otro 40% practican deporte de forma regula

Skilled hands needed in many fieldsFinland is bidding immigrants a warm welcome. The attractions of working in Finland include good working conditions and high employment security. Even the intriguing Finnish language poses no barrier to newcomers willing to make an effort. Last year some 22,500 people migrated to Finland.

En todos, absolutamente todos, los museos, excavaciones y monumentos que he visitado alguna vez, hay siempre, siempre, un puesto de venta de souvenirs.

In 1992 I lived in Vaasa, Finland with a wonderful family. Amazingly, we've kept in close touch ever since; we've seen each other several times in the States, in Finland, in England. Talked on the phone, emailed, text messaged, and shared tragedy and joy with each other.Over the course of 16 years, we have become family.I went to Finland a few weeks ago for my dear Finnish sister's (Pia) wedding. On the first full day I was there, the younger daughter (Nea) and I went to run some errands. We first went to the university where she is currently studying...Please note: there is snow. There is ice. There are bikes. And people ride them. On the ice? And the snow? You've got to be kidding me. The answer: snow tires.

Nightwish had a gig in Jyvaskyla in Finland on Friday. After only three songs they had to stop playing due to thick smoke on stage. Finnish newspapers reported that there was a lot of smoke and flames in the roof. The whole audience, about 6500 people, was evacuated immediately.
Nightwish quickly stepped back from the stage, but came back later on and continued the gig. People were not in panic, but a little bit furious due to half an hour break. The fire was a real, but hopefully the firemen took the situation in control.
People were not reported about the incident, which is probably one reason for being frustrated. Hopefully Nightwish bassist Marco Hietala told the audience the fire in the roof. Newspapers report that Marco Hietala had asked the audience: “Are You Still in Flames”? ?
Another great news from Nightwish is that today their Dark Passion Play album has sold 100 000 pieces in Finland! In Switzerland the album sales has reached the platinum level. This is grea

The Chinese Minister of Science and Technology (MOST) Dr. Wan Gang and Vice Minister Dr. Shang Yong joined in the celebration of the opening of China International Nanotech Innovation Cluster (CINIC) in Suzhou on Saturday. Finland has set foot in Suzhou, signing agreements for nanotechnology development and commercialisation. Mr. Juho Rissanen, the Beijing representative of Tekes and counsellor of science and technology at the Embassy of Finland, gave an opening speech in Chinese informing the new MOST Minister on the current status of Finland-China nanotech cooperation.

Many years ago, a group called Apocalyptica, started to play Metallica cover songs just for fun. Apocalyptica was a cello quartet founded by the graduates of Sibelius Academy in Finland. Back on those days they were different and some folks did not take them seriously. Anyhow, in few years they gained name in the metal music scene. They were different but they played very interesting metal music with their cellos.
Nowadays this group called Apocalyptica does not play Metallica covers that much, but instead have composed their own songs. Apocalyptica has played together with big names, such as Rammstein, Sandra Nasicin, Nina Hagen, Cristina Scabbia, Ville Valo (HIM), Dave Lombardo (Slayer) and Corey Taylor from Slipknot. In addition to those Apocalyptica has also contributed to the albums of other bands, such as Bullet for My Valentine. As a diamond to the top of the list I would like to mention Apocalyptica’s version of Edvard Grieg’s classical piece “Hall of the Mou

Applications for building the Russia-Germany Nord Stream gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea will be filed after the environmental impact assessment is finished next spring, a senior official at Nord Stream said Friday. The participants confirmed last week that the project would enter service by the end of 2010, but the environmental impact assessment has taken longer than expected. "We have the environmental impact evaluation ongoing and this will be finished during the spring," Nord Stream permitting manager Sebastian Sass said Friday in Helsinki. "After that we will submit the applications." He said Nord Stream took additional investigation requests from the authorities very seriously, and added that the schedule for a start-up had not been changed. Finnish Foreign Minister Ilkka Kanerva said Thursday after meeting his Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov that Finland was not against the pipe plan, but wanted to study its impact on the environment.

By: Susan DavisMy love affair with Finland began the moment I stepped off the Finnair plane. My ancestry is Norwegian and I guess something primal in my Viking genes bonds me in kindred spirit with this unique Nordic land. Having toured over a hundred countries, this is virgin territory for me and what an utterly cool place to visit in January. I have packed enough thermal gear to survive the most brutal blizzards but on arrival in Helsinki today, there is no snow.This is a friendly cosmopolitan capital for all tastes. Everyone speaks English, its safe and I am told, the cleanest city in Europe. It is virtually graffiti free as I stroll the elegant Esplanade. This is the boulevard of trendy shops and cafes. The sidewalks are heated. So much culture here with 7 symphonic orchestras, opera house and a library on each corner. Fins are big on design and big names have left their distinctive mark around the world with cutting edge style.I am grateful to be here by invitation from the Finnis

The final death toll from the Jokela school massacre is seven pupils (five boys, two girls), the school principal, and the gunman himself, who died last night at Helsinki University Hospital (Correction: the victims were five boys, one girl, the school nurse, and the principal).
Students have told how an armed teenager rampaged through a Finnish school shouting: "Revolution! Smash everything" before killing seven pupils, the principal and then fatally shooting himself.
And an ex-girlfriend of Pekka-Eric Auvinen, 18, told local media she had been accused of causing the tragedy by dumping him.
She said: "I have got many many emails and phone calls saying I am a killer. But many people get dumped without going out and killing people.
"He did what he did because he was who he is.''
...
"He comes from a very normal family of four people, he has one brother. He had no problems in school," police officer Jan-Olav Nyholm said.
One of Auvinen's classmates, told the Helsingin Sanomat newspap
It has been a sad day here in Finland, very sad. There was a school massacre very close to my home. A young high school student opened fire at school killing 7 children and one teacher. It could have been the school of my kids, it was so near. Man, this world is so crazy.
I am not going to post any metal videos today. Instead I keep my blog silent and think about those children who will not see the Christmas this year. Rest in peace.
I am totally coming out of my box here today. I am from Finland and I am truly saddned of the news of the school shooting in Jokela high school in Finland today.18-year old high school student shot seven students and the principal of the school in the southern Finland today. The shooter also shot himself and is in the critical condition at the Töölö hospital in Helsinki. The shooter had been posting almost 90 YouTube videos, including one named "Jokela High School Massacre - 11/7/2007". Link to video.According to Finnish media, YouTube moderators had even commented one of his videos saying "60mg per day keeps school shootings away" just two days ago. I can't help thinking - could they have done something to prevent this from happening by informing Finnish officials? YouTube has removed all the shooter's videos and comments from their site. This is not the first school shooting happening in Finland. The last one was in January 1989, and two students died. The school system in Finl
"Housing prices generally react fairly sensitively to fluctuations in interest rates. The recent uncertainty on the international financial markets has increased the Euribor rates on noncollateralised interbank loans in the euro area.""This affects the interest rates on the housing loans of Finnish households, since the Euribor rates are quite commonly used as their reference rates.""According to the forecast assumptions based on market expectations, short-term interest rates will in the next few years be higher than in recent years on average, and the growth rate of housing prices is forecast to slow further, from about 6% this year to around 2-3% in 2008-2009.""A further rise in house prices is nevertheless suggested by continued favourable development
Swedish construction company NCC AB reported a third quarter profit after financials of 814 mln skr, down 9.6 pct from a year earlier hit by weakness at the company's property development division."The company's other divisions experienced a mainly positive quarter although Finland remained flattish. NCC said it is taking longer to sell newly built housing units in Finland and also to some extent in Latvia." 'Prospects for 2008 appear favourable in the markets in which NCC is active, despite expectations that growth will be lower than in 2007. However uncertainty has increased somewhat concerning the trend in the housing market compared with the market assessment published in the six month report,' said NCC.

People think that it's still unfavourable time to rise a loan according to statistique of Finland. Two consecutive negative months figure show that the housing market is pretty stretch. "In October, 46 per cent of consumers regarded the time good for raising a loan. One year ago the respective proportion was 64 per cent. Nevertheless, 13 per cent of households were planning to raise a loan within one year.In October, 40 per cent of consumers thought the time was favourable for buying durable goods. Twelve months earlier, the respective proportion was 44 per cent. Many households intended to spend money on, for instance, home furnishings or travel during the next six months. Intentions to purchase entertainment electronics had decreased slightly, but in October, 25 per cent of households considered purchasing a digital set-top box. Even major purchases were attractive, for 19 per cent of households were fairly or very certain to buy a car and 10 per cent a dwelling in the next

Financial unstability highlighted By The Bank of Finland in 2005 "The rate of growth in lending has for a number of years already been clearly faster than the growth in deposits, leading banks to increasingly resort to market-based funding. Although well-integrated money and capital markets are capable of offering banks a functioning source of financing, changes in the funding structure set ever greater challenges to banks’ liquidity management."Good job from the Bank of Finland. They clearly outlined the scenario that was set to happen few years after in August 2007. That reminds me of Nothern Rock issues... Not relying to fund their loan on the customer deposit but instead on integrated market.

The Bank of Finland predicts that economic growth in Finland will be slower, and inflation will increase in Finland over the next two years.Factors behind the slowdown include weaker prospects abroad, and rising interest rates, which increase debt servicing costs of companies and consumers.Erkki Liikanen, the Governor of the Bank of Finland, also said that economic prospects could take a downturn if the unrest that emerged on financial markets in August continues and grows stronger. He also predicts that the rise in housing prices should slow down from the present six per cent annually to between two and three per cent. Mr Liikanen is predicting a soft landing for the housing market, at least adjusted to inflation (with inflation bumping over 2-3 % over the next 2 years), he is basically saying that price have reach a plateau. 0% growth for the next 2 years in the best case. That's a good news for the one who were stressing about buying because price will not be rising any m

Why a blog in Finnish housing buble?Asset BubblePrice of any type of accommodations (kerrostalo, paritalo, rivitalo, omakotitalo) are overwhelmingly overvalued.Yet no one seems to be worry about the level of prices. Why is that? Are people ignorant? have income followed the surge of housing price? are we running short of land? the construction industry is slow to produce houses/flats?-Throughout this blog we will try to gather evidence on why we are currently in a bubble that is about to deflate.Psychology bubbleIn fact many factors have contributed to the current housing bubble we are witnessing today. Who has never heard about people telling that "You are wasting money by renting. Housing price has gone up and will always. Housing is a sure investment. You haven't bought?", it tells a lot about how deep it is anchored in people mind that buying a house, today, will make your life better and will be a good investment. We will try demistify that.This blog will try as well
Finland's housing market: reducing risks and improving policies This article was published in May 2006 , at the time interest rate were still low and GDP growth at record high. While pronounced cycles in house prices have been a major cause of macroeconomic
instability in the past, current house price developments do not yet suggest an
overheating of the housing market. However, several important concerns are
related to both direct effects of housing markets on overall activity and to
more structural and regional issues. A factor making housing markets and the
macro economy vulnerable to interest-rate shocks is the high share of mortgage
loans linked to variable interest rates. Tax subsidies to housing may largely be
capitalised in higher land prices rather than increasing housing availability to
the extent that slow planning procedures and municipalities' unwillingness to
provide building land have limited the growth of the housing stock in growth
regions. This

Reuters reports."Taco Cohen of the Netherlands (picture left), who was celebrating his 19th birthday, used acrobatics and juggling in his performance, which was judged on aesthetics and artistic impression.Finnish domination in the distance event continued when Tommi Huotari took gold with a throw of 89.62 meters (294 feet), a few meters short of the world record.Event organizer Christine Lund said the contest reflected people's love-hate relationship with the mobile phone."This contest speaks to people the world over as mobile phones are a blessing and a curse...phones have become a part of the modern man, and sometimes many of u
The practice of demanding that publishers send cash to bookstores along with the books they wish to sell seems to be rapidly spreading. Word comes from Finland that the largest bookstore chain there is adopting the Waterstone's "pay or perish" scheme.
In an attempt to maximise their profits, some bookstores have started to put price tags on their display space even in Finland, following

They work in short, spooling instrumentals, building layers of simple repetitive riffs into laminal mudcakes and weaving ghosts of noise songs into huge tunnels of drone. They utilize a wide spectrum of moldy acoustic instruments and almost broken electronics to create their joyful blasts but the recording studio in itself might be their single most important instrument. Kemialliset Ystävät discography includes CDs, vinyl records, cassettes and lathe cuts on Fonal, Fusetron, Beta-Lactam Ring, Lal Lal Lal, Jewelled Antler, Celebrate Psi Phenomenom and other revolutionary labels around the world.

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Finland must move into the 21st century and stop fur farming, television star Pamela Anderson said in an appeal to the Nordic country's president. In an open letter to President Tarja Halonen, Anderson said: "I am proud of my Finnish family roots, but I was disappointed to learn that more foxes are killed in Finland than nearly anywhere else in the world."Anderson, who campaigns for animal rights, was visiting Finland to celebrate Midsummer's night.Halonen thanked Anderson for the letter, but said it was up to the Finnish government to make decisions on fur farming, the Finnish news agency STT said.Finland is among Europe's four leading fur producers, along with Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands, and its annual fur production is worth 250 million euros ($335 million).
PAMELA ANDERSON has taken aim at Finnish fur farms in a letter sent to the country's President TARJA HALONEN. The former Baywatch star is in Scandinavia to host an upcoming music festival near Helsinki, Finland, and is making the most of her time there - calling for authorities to ban fur farms. In her letter, Anderson, whose ancestors hailed from Finland, writes, "It's time for Finland to move into the 21st century." Local fur companies have blasted her efforts to end the trade in the country, calling them "unrealistic". A spokeswoman for the Finnish Fur Sales auction house claims such a ban would put more than 10,000 Finnish people out of work. President Halonen's office has acknowledged receipt of the letter.
:: ÅR 2009 har 200 år gått sedan Sverige och Finland skiljdes åt genom fredsfördraget i Fredrikshamn. För båda länderna innebär 1809 ett märkesår. ÅR 1809 avslutades en 600 år lång epok med de svenska och finländska landskapens gemensamma historia. REFLEKTION Under 800 år har vi en historia med gemensam och skild nationell utveckling. Länderna arbetar nu med sina nationalkommittéer inför Märkesåret 1809. När det gäller kristenheten i Finland och Sverige vore det värdefullt att också erinras om de 800 åren av gemensamma och skilda erfarenheter. - Vad borde kristenheten komma ihåg från epoken som börjar på 1200-talet? - Vad skulle kristenheten ta fasta på av historiens och himlens lärdomar? - Vilka är kristenhetens verkligt stora händelser under dessa 800 år?
Log cabin used to be a family affair in Finland. Everybody seemed to have that special log cabin somewhere on the countryside. Log cabins were self-built and maintained, big part of the fun being slate of chores needed to keep the cabin in shape. That has changed.
Nowadays the traditional approach on log cabins has stagnated and a new trend has overtaken the old way of spreading log homes to deep forests by lakes and rivers. Today the idea is to get a carefree vacation cabin that doesn't need constant attention like log cabins used to need. Solution has been to focus on building new log cabins around skiing resorts. Around these resorts, cabins locate side by side, making it easy and profitable for service industry to take care of the cabins. Owners can forget maintenance and hit the slopes, go motor sledging, cross-country skiing etc.
How this has changed the log cabin industry? Prices have rocketed. Skiing resorts are mostly in Finnish Lapland, which basically is galaxy far, f
In the U.S. the log home industry has benefited from the strong economy and especially from the strong real estate market. At the same time, there has been some sort of revival of log home culture. Generation of baby-boomers is acquiring log cabins and log homes for retirement. Almost every established log home manufacturer is still alive and new players are emerging monthly. It has been all-out sunshine and none of that bad ultraviolet radiation.
How come any of that is even remotely related to Finland? It has been pretty much the same over here with the exception of our tiny home market. Finnish log home companies had to start exporting from early on to grow the business. Many companies were started to surf the latest money making trend. Unfortunately for our companies, the value of euro has been rocketing against U.S. dollar. This has made Finnish log cabins and log homes rather pricey compared to what they were before. Result - a severe drop in demand and therefore financial cr
