Nokia 1208, the kind of
cell phone that I purchased on 7 October 2008. |
 Spa
hotel Rantasipi Eden in Nokia, Finland. As of 2008, the
telecommunication company Nokia no longer has any operations in the
town of Nokia. Despite the company having been founded in Nokia, the
headquarters were moved to Espoo, and the main factories are in Salo,
both hundreds of kilometres south of Nokia. Almost every year,
tourists come to Nokia expecting to find a great mobile phone
museum, but the only connection to the company is the Nokia mansion,
which is sometimes used for private parties for the company's
executive staff. The town has repeatedly been asked to commemorate
the company it gave birth to, but it has always declined, on the
grounds that mobile phones were never produced there.Nokia does have
engineering and design facilities 15 kilometers away in nearby
Tampere....wikipedia.org |

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2008 |
The Nobel Peace Prize for
2008
The Norwegian Nobel Committee
has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2008 to
Martti
Ahtisaari for his important efforts, on several continents and
over more than three decades, to resolve international
conflicts. These efforts have contributed to a more peaceful
world and to "fraternity between nations" in Alfred Nobel's
spirit.
Throughout all his adult life,
whether as a senior Finnish public servant and President or in
an international capacity, often connected to the United
Nations, Ahtisaari has worked for peace and reconciliation.
For the past twenty years, he has figured prominently in
endeavours to resolve several serious and long-lasting
conflicts. In 1989-90 he played a significant part in the
establishment of Namibia's independence; in 2005 he and his
organization Crisis Management Initiative (CMI) were central
to the solution of the complicated Aceh question in Indonesia.
In 1999 and again in 2005-07, he sought under especially
difficult circumstances to find a solution to the conflict in
Kosovo. In 2008, through the CMI and in cooperation with other
institutions, Ahtisaari has tried to help find a peaceful
conclusion to the problems in Iraq. He has also made
constructive contributions to the resolution of conflicts in
Northern Ireland, in Central Asia, and on the Horn of Africa.
Although the parties themselves
have the main responsibility for avoiding war and conflict,
the Norwegian Nobel Committee has on several occasions awarded
the Nobel Peace Prize to mediators in international politics.
Today Ahtisaari is an outstanding international mediator.
Through his untiring efforts and good results, he has shown
what role mediation of various kinds can play in the
resolution of international conflicts. The Norwegian Nobel
Committee wishes to express the hope that others may be
inspired by his efforts and his achievements.
