The Beauty of Lotus
Lotus is one of the most unique flowers there is and it's life cycle is truly fascinating. It grows in the mud of ponds similar to water lilies. During the day time the blooms open up leaning towards the sun, and when night comes it hides itself in the water. Many ancients considered Lotus a symbol of the sun, creation and even rebirth. It's influence is seen through out Asian art and even more so in Egyptian art. Egyptian artists often put lotus in the hands of gods to bring out the value of their art.
Lotus is still popular throughout art today presenting itself in the realm of tattooing. The tattoo version of lotus represents a struggle and from that struggle something beautiful emerges. The Lotus itself struggles to extend through the mud and once it reaches the surface it's absolutely beautiful. As much as we love the beauty and the meaning of lotus, florist are unable to incorporate them into flower arrangements. Don't be too discouraged though, as they can still be planted in ponds and are known to adjust to most environments.

FARMINGDALE, LONG ISLAND NEW YORK Cl^csyvs I ^ft'ffiJ AGGIES Vol. XXXII No. 20 STATE UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AT FARMINGDALE January 26 1962 WINTER WEEKEND Lwssst Tim OUT mn When the six buses left SDATI, Friday, January 12, 1962, for a- Winter Weekend in the Pocono Mountains, they contained approx-imately 300 students, all out for a good time, and tiiat's exactly what they had. The enjoyment started as soon as the buses departed. There was a Jovial spirit with everyong sing-ing, talking, catching some shut eye, and - and. The trip took ap-proximately five hours riding time with one necessary stop. SUATI's arrival at the beautiful Mt, Airy Lodge was an exhuberant one. Everyone received his room assignment and deposited his lug-gage and went directly to the dining room for a late dinner. Through-out our stay, the food and service were excellent. That evening our students went ice skating, night dubing at the Club Suzanne or New Faculty Chosen the ^ p r e s s Room, and wait numerous parlies. The activities Technology began to slack off when the 3 a«m. hour rolled around and every-one made his way to his respec-tive room. Saturday morning a delicious breakfast was served for the early risers, and for those sleepy heads a Continental Breakfast was pro-vided until 11:30 a.m. Now every-one got down to tile business at hand — having a fabulous tlmel Though there was no snow, this did not hinder the enjoyment of the group. There was swimming in the beauti^l indoor pool with Aemany facilities that went along wltfi it. Also, ice skating, horse-back riding, bicycle riding (even a bi-cycle for two), and a fully equip-ped game room with various rec-reational facilities were available to all. Saturday afternoon meant lunch and than more fiin. A dance con-test was held in the Club Suzan-ne and the judges were Mr. Adamo, Sukl Pombo, and Tom Jackson. There was a slop and twist contest. The winners were each given a bottle of champagne. After Saturday's dinner, Aere was entertainment and dancing in the Qub Suzanne and the Empress Room, Parties were also held un-tU 3 a.m. Sunday morning found many peo-ple feeling differently; some were sleepy, some were full of pep, and some had upset stomachs and headaches. After breakfast, tfie facilities of Mt. Airy were again available to SUATI's students. Sunday afternoon the King and Queen Contest was held. Miss EUeen Durkln, TSA Senior, and Mr. Bob Trojan, MT Senior, were the winners for the 1962 Winter Weekoid. At 3:30 p.m" quite sad- < ly, we started packing and by 4:15 the buses left for Aggleland. This year's trip was a very enjoyable one, and I'm sure that all who wentwiU undoubtedly agree Two Long Island residents have been appointed to tiie faculty of our State University at Farming-dale. They were recently chosen by the President of our college. Dr. Laffln. Robert Charles Boch of Little Neck has been appointed Assis- ' in the Mechanl- Department. He succeeds Professor Charles Dia-mond who retired last December. Mr. Boch comes to SUATI's cam-pus fron Sperry Gyroscope where he was assistant metallui^sL A graduate of Newtown H i ^ School, he received his Bachelor's de-gree in metallurgical engineering at Brooklyn Polytechnic Instilute where he is completing his re-quirements for his Master's de-gree. Tuition i m Of current interest to t h e faculty and students at State University, is the tuition proposal which is now under consideration. The proposal which has been constructed involves the following: - I. Suggested tuition of $150 per semester, $300 per year. The elimination of laboratory fees. A reduction in the c o l l i e fee. A uniformity of activity fees. A maximum of fifty, dollars was cited. This point has received great consideratioi^ by the student representatives. They feel that a maximum should not be exacted in this propos^. . JH ^ ^ ! A tuition charge of $300 should reduce the activity fees. This was justified by thbffact that Sute University4ntends to subsidize svth areas as'Health Services, S^ieak^s Bureaus, and other cultural programs, ' , A specjialtclause withregardtowaiving tuttlwi "for certain students is exp^ted to be incorporated. The maximum charges for the student would be approximately: $300 tuition, $kD activity fee, and $25 college fee. An autqmatip, reduction will be affected under the Scholarsh^) Incentive Program. Each student will receive a minimum of one hundred dollars, depending on family income. This; will apply, only * to residents New York State. The Scholarsh^) Incentive Pro-gram was Justified by two points: (1) provides more working captial for State University, (2) and provides an equal level for imblic and private college stud^ts. This plan will nbt idter Sute ai^oprlations. Each c ^ e g e will reUin at least ninety per .cent of the fees V collect^T^So^ monies wlU be directed towards the support of ' state-wide lactl^ties. II. The siq;)port oi d "sensible Intercoll^late Athletic I^ngram" was cited as being beneficial^ 12. The tuiticm fees ^ e expected to inq>rove the educational program at the colleges, 13. Non-residents of New York Sute will pay the tuition fee in addition to the fees they are now paying. 14. This proposid will apply to Liberal Arts students, which means a reduction at Harpur and Long Island Center. 2. 3, 4. 5. 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, The oiher faculty member is Mr. Harold Zilch of Farmingdale. Mr. Zilch has been appointed as a mem-ber of the library staff. He is a former librarian at Queens-borough Public Library. A na-tive of North Bergen, New Jersey, Mr. Zilch Is a graduate of Rut-gers University where he received his aA. in English, the Cincinn-ati C<mservatery of Music and die Boston Conservatory of Music where he served on the faculty. Mr. Zilch Is an accomplished cel-list. Also as a part o f h i s e x - ^ ^ ^ ^ cellent background, Mr. Zilch It should be notedthatno final acti(mhas yet been made by theTru8tt.e served on die faculty at Lawrence ^ ^ ^ University. Therefore, the proposals are tentative and subject to Academy and Groton School in Gro- revision. The Board of Trustees has sUted, however, that there will be BROCHUKS DISIGNED PEACE CORPS SPEA KER RICHARD BOWMAN KNAPP HALL LOUNGE 7:30 P.M. JANUARY 30, 1962 Mr, Gerard Tavenier, Public In-formation Officer, and his asso-ciates have been working since last Spring on the new brochures to be sent to inccxning students of S.U. A.T.I, These brochures, of which there are seventeen in all de-picting each curriculum, will be a - vailable on February 15, Also soon to be completed is a large booklet which will include phases of these seventeen brochures, plus information on the dormitories, dining hall, school clubs, and other campus activities. Several curriculum's have un-dergone name changes. Building Construction will be known as Architectural Technology in the near future. Dairy Industry and Frozen Foods are being combined into one curriculum Food Tech-nology. Highway and Bridge Con-struction is being shortened to Hi-ghway Technology. A full length photograph of a stu-dent representj^ his or her cur-riculum will be used as the cover for each of the brochures. Among those appearing on the cover are: Ann Bienick Carl Hof&nan, ET; Dick Butcher. Food Tech,; Doug Harnisch, Bio, Tech,; Did Bouwaman, Mech, Tech,; Brian Bedell, AO; Tony Ricca, Arch. Tech,; Dick Burdett, Chem,Tech.; Lucille Baron AAD; Jon Halsall, Bus, T.; Larry Hall, Indus, In-stumentaticm; and Doug Simpson and Betsy Anderson, OH; andMar-tin Boeckh, ACHR The estimated cost of the bro-chures is $22,000. This is the first time in ten years that any-thing like this has been undertaken, and it should prove a most ben-eficial project. ton, Massachusetts. D.H. Seniors Practice Teocliiiig On December 14 and 19 some of tiie dental hygiene seniors panici-pated in a practice teaching pro-gram which was conducted in the Wyandanch school district. This program was arranged by the De-partment of Dental Hy^ene and Mrs. Ellison, Ae dental hygienist in the Wyandanch schools. During the first quarter of this year the senior dental hygiene sen-iors took a course in Methods & Materials. The main purpose of this course was to teach die pro-spective dental hyglenlsts the ways in which to teach dental health ed-ucation both in the schools and in private practice. As part of this course each student was required to prepare a lesion plan wb^h was geared to a (mrtlcular gride level. The teachl^ of the lesson plans was optional. However, many of Ae students, who plan on work-ing in a school system vpoa grad-uation. took advantage of this op-portunity. Half of the giris partic^tlng in this program tau^t while the other half observed their class-mates. evaluation sheet was filled out on each girl who tau^t both by die teacher and die class-mate who was observing her. It was hoped that the students would leam from this constructive criticism. A*follow-up program is planned for the early part of February, at which time dioee students who observed will teach. The purpose of this follow-up program is to determine whether or not the stu-dents rettined the material discussed in die previous lesson. NO tuition diis September, the reason being that they do not want to impose tuition on students who are presently enrolled or affect the {dans of students who already have been acc^ptkl for September. There is, dierefore, no definite date when this jflan will come into effect. At present, however, die consensus seems to be diat September 1963 will bring the Initiatlcm of the new system. The Sute U. Board of Trustees has determined that diere will be no diange in the policy aa tuitioD for the academic year beginning in Sept. "TUs determination In no s ^ s e represents a deviation from the views and principles on tuition policy in public h l ^ e r eAicatlon institutions as set forth in the Addendum to the revised Sute U. Master Plan," according to the sutement Issued by the trustees. "Adequate advance notice will be ^ven later this year as to the effective date of a new policy on tuitlcm and fees." Off Campus Dances Planned Sweetheart Swing The annual SWEETHEART SWING, sponsored by the Junior Dental Hygienise^s Association, will be held on Satui^y, Pd)ruary 10 from 8:30 to 1:00 a«m. at the Wheatley HiUs bm In Westbury. Curfew has been extended to 2:00 ajn. for the dormitory studenu who plan on attending the dance. Snowball Saturday, January 27, the eighth annual Snowball wUl be presented by the National Association of Gardeners. It Is to be held In the lOil^U of Columbus Hall Linden-hurst. Starting at 9:00, you can dance to music by the Maestros until 1:00. Curfew has been extoided until 2 a.m. for die girls who live in the dorms. Buy your tickets now, and reserve a table They are on sale at . $3.00 per cou^e. Door *pi^e's will be given and ^ crowning of the ^ow-ball Queen will highUght the even-ing. The Collegians, a four-piece band will be featured. Tickets for dance may be purchased at |3.S0j>er coujAe from any dental - hj^ene student. They will also be on sale at lunch time In the Tech. Buildtng and Knapp IteU, surting Monday, January 29. Committee News Dining Hall Recendy, the Dining Hall Com-mittee has handed out Dining Hall reguladons. This has been done as a reminder of the rules, since student condiK:t has necessitated the strict enforcement of rules such as cutting in line and pro-per dress. The next International J4ight be-ing sponsored by Dining Hall Com-mlttee is to follow the German theme. It Is hoped that the date will be set for the last of Jan-uary. The only threat to a suc-cessful evening is the lack of stu-dent backing. The lack of members has be-come a great problem to Dining Hall Comm. and it Is hoped that some Freshman and Seniors will answer this plea. For all those interested, meetings are held ev-ery Monday night at 6:00 p.m. in Nassau Hall Lounge. We hope to see YOU there.

Various Links (I'll update over the weekend)
- Jezebel points out that The Hunger Games is the first movie about a girl. Or something. Do you think this is a significant crack in cinema's glass ceiling? Does cinema have a glass ceiling, in front of the camera anyway? I don't know. I am asking.
- Mother Jones viscously pans the flick, recommending instead that you see Battle Royale and City Of God. The second recommendation kind of comes out of nowhere, but it is true: you SHOULD see that movie. Battle Royale was eh though.
- Slate's Dana Stevens offers an enthusiastic review, more or less spoiler-free, for the uninitiated.
- Also at Slate, LV Anderson notes a frankly MADDENING trend in reviews of The Hunger Games: critics picking on Jennifer Lawrence's body. Um, LOOK AT THIS GIRL. And then look at the gaunt figure Ashley Greene has become lately. SHUT THE FUCK UP, MANOHLA DARGIS, TODD McCARTHY and JEFFREY WELLS! Let Jennifer Lawrence be great (and sexy, dammit)!
- Posters for The Hunger Games as directed by various auteurs. Pretty good.

I always get compliments when wearing Juicy Couture and sometimes I have forgot which fragrance I had used. It does last a long time and is not overpowering. I suggest layering the fragrance starting with the Frothy shower gel, then Body sorbet (cream) and of course Juicy Couture eau de parfum spray. Let each layer dry completely and you're set for the day or evening.

There is an inconvenient truth Mitt Romney would like conservatives and Republicans to forget. He was the inspiration for Obamacare and the individual mandate came straight from Romneycare.
Ron Suskind has a new book out, called "Confidence men." It is about the Obama regime and goes into some detail about the origins of the individual mandate.
From the Daily Caller:
Suskind goes on to demonstrate that President Obama, who previously had not embraced the individual mandate, was impressed by RomneyCare's impact in Massachusetts:
"… the centerpiece of that program, the individual mandate, was something Obama had drawn up short of endorsing during the campaign, much to the ire of Hillary Clinton, who called him 'all talk, no action' on health care. Now, DeParle, in her memo, stressed that Obama should embrace a plan much like that in Massachusetts, driven by the teeth of a mandate, where individuals would be fined for not having health insurance. Obama, never much for the mandate, was concerned about legal challenges to it but was impressed by DeParle's coverage numbers. Without the mandate, the still-sketchy Obama plan would leave twenty-eight million Americans uninsured; with the mandate, the estimates of the number left uninsured were well below ten million." (p. 262-263)
It's no big secret that Obama looked to RomneyCare to craft his plan. But this book may also serve to remind everyone of what is obviously an inconvenient truth for Mitt Romney.
For conservatives this is important because we need a conservative to get the nomination and Romney is not a conservative.
From Fox News:
The upcoming Fox News/Google debate Thursday in Florida comes at a time when growing numbers of voters are becoming so frustrated with President Obama they are vowing to vote against him. But, as demonstrated in a new national poll out Wednesday, Americans are still far more interested in voting against Obama than voting for anybody in the current Republican field.
At the debate, the candidates will have a chance to reveal that political X factor -- the quality that makes them not just competitive, but presidential. But while the right candidate may already be on stage, polls suggest voters haven't fallen in love with anybody yet.
This election is going to be the ABO election. Anyone but Obama. The Republican primary needs to be ABR. Anyone but Romney.
If Romney is elected, all we will have is a Republican manager of big government. The size of government will not be reduced and what Obama has implemented will become permanent. We need to make our choice: Perry, or Bachman, or Gingrich or Cain. Any of them is better than Romney.
Oh I can see The Hermanator or S. Palin putting that witch in her place. She has certainly given
enough ammo to put her away. That woman has more baggage than American Airlines! ! !
The massive Washington, D.C. bureaucracy and spending industry that goes with it will never go away with our current method of funding the Federal Government, no matter who is President. It is mandatory that both be "starved out." Please see how to do this on the website www.constitutionalsupporttax.net. The CONSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT TAX (the CST) will do the following:
Hey! All I want is a candidate who can beat Obama. All this BS is not helpful. Any of the Republican candidates are better than Obama. Sahra Palin says "anybody but Obama". I would phrase it "any Republican candidate is better than Obama".
Even Huntsman.
I just want to end Obama's rule and get on with rebuilding this country.I'm from Mass. and could NEVER FORGIVE him for it.
My insurance went up on average of $1200 to $1500 hundred a year until I could no longer afford it and am now at the mercy of Mass. health. MOST DOCTORS DON'T ACCEPT IT!!
I want to see my doctors. So I do and have them send me the bill. Thank God I still have good health but I fear the day I need something big done. Plus he's a DAMN RINO!!
It's just a slower death of a country with them as apposed to quick suicide by the liberals.
My opinion is BOTH PARTIES have to go as their loyalty no longer remains to their country. Only to themselves.
It's like when they get elected they remove their spine on them and turn them to jellyfish!
Our nation is being led by JELLYFISH!!

Intel's Ivy Bridge waits on Windows 8
Ivy Bridge will highlight Intel's emphasis on power-efficiency and graphics performance, but one key ingredient will be missing -- Windows 8.
Intel's Ivy Bridge chip is expected to be announced Monday, opening the floodgates for new desktops and laptops built around the chipmaker's first 22-nanometer processor. Generally, the smaller the chip geometries, the faster and/or more power efficient the silicon is. Intel's current Sandy Bridge processors use "fatter" 32-nanometer technology.
How small is 22 nanometers? More than six million 22-nanometer transistors could fit in the period at the end of this sentence, according … Read more

Nike Pro Essential 6,35 cm – Short pour Femme AVIS DES CLIENTS
Écrit par
I dont do an awful lot of running anymore, Im more of a weightlifter than a runner these days. I love these shorts! They're comfortable and are awesome for leg-workouts! They're not tight in any way either, though I'd say I do need to pull them down a bit from time to time - but maybe thats just me. They're not too short either, which was a concern I had when I ordered them. Nike should get more colors (and sizes) in stock! PLEASE :) !!
Superior fit and reall comfy to wear
Écrit par
Birmingham, West Midlands, UK
They fit well true to size, very comfortable to wear. I use them in training and have bought another pair for competition(Triple jumper) as they are sooooo good. Value for money, would highly reccommend. Shame not available in other colours, come on Nike.
Écrit par
I bought these to use them as base layer thinking they are compression pants, so I wanted them underneath my running boyshorts to feel more 'wrapped up'. People is right; they don't compress they are just spandex and in my case they roll up a little which is a bit annoying #but that would be ok if they compress#. I can't go a size down because I already bought the smallest #XS# and I usually wear a S in nike shorts as XS will be a bit tighter, so meaning I am not in the skinny side of the XS.
I am disappointed because they sell it as compression pant but they shouldn't therefore I don't recommend it.
If they would advertised as just a mere spandex base layer then it would be a different story as people buying this would have different expectations and different motives to buy it.
My favorite spandex
Écrit par
Tucson, AZ
After purchasing Nike pro spandex I won't purchase another brand again. These are by far the most comfortable for working out. I run, lift, box, and wear them around. I would recommend these for anyone!!
I really enjoy it
Écrit par
I truly enjoy this product. It fits just the way I want it to and is super comfortable. Perfect for when I'm weightlifting.

Upscale Denim: Look to North Korea for Fall Jeans Fashion
Filed under: Apparel, Men's Style
With the latest in up-market jeans being readied for release, it's exciting to see what's in the pipeline. In this crowded space, look for the biggest noise to be made not by any fashion company you've pined over. Rather, the hottest denim on the market could be coming from the most unexpected place on earth ... by way of Scandinavia.
According to Financial Times, "As clean silhouettes and the much-feted new minimalism shape the autumn trends, it looks like denim will take an equally reductive route: out with slashed, stonewash, fussy 1980s styles and in with the basics." And you'll find this manufactured in North Korea.
FT continues:
Two years ago, a trio of young, twenty-something Swedes were invited by the government into North Korea to manufacture a national jeans line. Really. "Noko", as it was named, features two jeans styles for men and women: the Kara slim-fit and the Oke loose-fit ($215 plus shipping), both straight-cut and dark-wash, in keeping with the austere nightscapes of the designers' inspiration, Pyongyang.
The Noko styles are consistent with what is expected for autumn:
"For autumn, denim is very customer-friendly," says Lesley Torson of Trilogy, a London denim boutique. "It's dark, and washes are quite clean, giving it a more polished look." Meanwhile, the advent of styles such as the utilitarian cargo with convenient side pockets, the forgiving high-rise cut, and the faithful indigo boot-cut flare will offer something the premium jeans world hasn't seen for years: wearability.


text: Air Temperature and Thaw Depth, North Slope, Alaska: Field Measurements (1995-97) and Computed ValuesThis data product contains field data measurements of air temperatures and thaw depth (active-layer thickness) measured at locations in north-central Alaska, and modelled values of air temperatures and thaw depth extrapolated to an area encompassing the Kuparuk River basin of north-central Alaska. Air temperature and thaw depth were measured in the years 1995, 1996, and 1997; air temperature was measured at 10 core Flux Study plots and additional sites, and thaw depth was measured within each of seven ARCSS 1 km x 1 km grids. The data were collected to provide a basis for extrapolating thawing degree-days and thaw depth to the landscape scale (the Kuparuk River basin). Modelled air temperatures derived from the 1995 air temperature measurements are represented in 787 x 371 element matrices of thawing degree-day sums at weekly intervals for part of summer 1995. Thaw depth matrices were modelled using the interpolated thawing degree-day data, a vegetation map of the Kuparuk River basin, and a digital elevation model (DEM) of the same area. Modelled thaw depth is represented in 178 x 369 element matrices of active-layer thickness at weekly intervals for part of summer 1995, one time period in 1996, and 'end-of-season' (August 6) 1997.

NFL Game Capsules - Week 15 (Thursday, December 12th) Final Score: San Diego 27, Denver 20 Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Peyton Manning sat and waited on the sideline as San Diego kept moving the chains and churning the clock. The Chargers' slim playoff hopes don't look so slim anymore. Ryan Mathews ran for 127 yards and a touchdown and Philip Rivers tossed a pair of scores to Keenan Allen as the Chargers shocked the Denver Broncos 27-20 on Thursday night. The Chargers, who snapped Denver's 10-game AFC West winning steak, held the ball for nearly 39 minutes and converted 6-of-12 third downs. Denver tallied 127 yards on its first two drives of the game, but totaled just 168 yards the rest of the way. The Broncos' 295 total yards and 20 points were a season low. Rivers was 12-of-20 for 166 yards for San Diego (7-7), which moved a half game behind the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins for the AFC's second wild-card spot. Manning flipped a 5-yard TD pass to Andre Caldwell with 10:30 remaining to pull the Broncos within 24-17 and Denver got the ball back at its own 3 with 5:50 to go following a San Diego punt. Manning, though, was intercepted on the third play of the drive by linebacker Thomas Keiser to all but seal the outcome. Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget fought through a double team and hit Manning as he threw and Keiser notched the easy pick. Nick Novak's 35-yard field goal after the pick gave the Chargers a 27-17 lead with 2:36 left. Matt Prater nailed a 42-yard field goal with 34 ticks on the clock to whittle the deficit to 27-20, but the ensuing onsides kick went out of bounds. 12/13 00:59:03 ET |

Nürnberg – LEONI AG, Nürnberg, has come a big step closer to its objective to exceed the 1 billion Euro mark with an increase in turnover of about 17 % to approximately 550 million Euros in the first six months of 2001 (2000: 470 million Euros).
For further growth, the wire, cable and wiring systems supplier is mainly concentrating on its leading position in the group's field of competencies, i. e. telecommunications, aerospace, medical engineering, automation systems, electrical appliances and the automotive industry. This was annonced by CEO Ernst Thoma at the Annual General Meeting held in Nürnberg on 4 July 2001.
"Besides the increase in turnover, it is of great importance to us to increase profit on ordinary activities and profit for the financial year by an amount higher in proportion than the increase in turnover", Thoma stated. In the 2000 financial year LEONI AG achieved a turnover of 0.96 billion Euro – an increase of 56 % compared to the previous year. Profit for the financial year amounted to 22.3 million Euros in 2000.
At the Annual General Meeting, the shareholders almost unanimously agreed upon a dividend payment of 1.70 DEM per share (including a tax credit of 2.34 DEM). Due to the so far very positive development of business, an about 10 % increase of dividends has been promised for the financial year at the meeting.

LEONI consistently expands market position
About 550 million Euros in the first six months of 2001 – more than 1 billion Euro targeted until the end of the financial year

Lucca : Michelin's recommendations
Sheltering behind its brick ramparts planted with trees, Lucca has managed to retain its medieval character and remains largely unspoilt. The harmonious pink and ochre shades of its buildings, its beautiful Pisan-style Romanesque churches, the unusual tree-topped Guinigi tower, and the delightful Piazza dell'Anfiteatro which follows the layout of the original Roman amphitheatre, all make this attractive city a delightful place to visit. The city is also famous for its excellent olive oil.

- Dependence of the Finnish banking sector on Swedish and Danish financial sectors; variable rate bank credit focused on property

Risk assessment
Weak growth, mainly led by external demand
Less affected than other countries by the eurozone crisis, due to a strong banking sector, controlled public finances and low exposure to debt and economic situation of the weakest European countries, Finland has nonetheless seen growth fall. This is mainly due to a drop in foreign demand, particularly from its main customers, Sweden and Germany (sales to Russia, on the other hand, are up). The Finnish economy is small and very open (exports of goods and services represent roughly 40% of GDP), which increases the impact of this drop. Though domestic demand partly offsets the sluggishness of exports, it also shows signs of weakness. In 2013, lower household and business confidence, increased unemployment, stagnant purchasing power and the pursuit of a fiscal consolidation policy will curb the recovery. Though households' room for manoeuvre is reduced, as shown by low savings levels (about 8% of disposable income), consumption is not expected to fall sharply. Moreover, residential investment is slowing but the property market remains stable. In addition, the private sector is not over-indebted and financing terms remain favourable as banks are sound. Inflation is above the regional average, pushed up by the rise in indirect taxation. Collective agreements, however, provide for moderate wage rises. These will nevertheless be above productivity growth.
Public debt under control
The slowdown in growth affected budget results in 2012 but the consolidation policy begun by the government will continue. In 2013, public revenues will benefit from a VAT rise, from the non-adjustment of income tax brackets in line with inflation and from a slight economic recovery. At the same time, spending is not expected to increase in real terms. Public debt will rise slightly while remaining at a reasonable level. In the longer term, however, pension and health service reforms will be necessary to alleviate the growing burden imposed by the ageing population on the public accounts.
Manufacturing sector losing momentum
Weak global demand for capital goods and the erosion of competitiveness are affecting Finnish exports. The investment rate is declining and manufacturing production has dropped significantly since 2008. The current account went into deficit in 2011. Sectors such as paper machines, ship engines and heavy moving and construction equipment are not having an easy time at the moment. Moreover, the country is facing losses in export market shares in the forestry sector and in the electronics sector, which is undergoing restructuring. Despite these difficulties, company insolvencies did not increase in 2012.
