I started by asking
about contracts in my own
department . I suggested to a Finnish colleague that
this silence might be viewed
as discourteous to the applicants. I remember the words ?open. and that the
search had been international in scope. I emailed
the Head of Department and
asked to see how the nineteen candidates had been
ranked, at least in terms
of teaching contact hours,
years of research experience
and publications in international journals. This was
slightly less money than my
previous faculty postdoc position, but funding is funding
and besides, I didn?t think it
wise to have a gap on my CV.
Before my Kone funding
ran out in April 2011, I had
already applied for more
funding to various Finnish
funding bodies so that I could
continue with the same re-
demic posts in UK universities they can expect to be
informed about the outcome
of their applications, even if
they are unsuccessful. I hadn?t heard anything for over two months
so at the end of February
2014 I stopped by the Head
of Department?s office . There was nothing
available at the time. The Finnish Union of
University Researchers and
Teachers is doing its best to
ensure fair play in the Finnish academic community.
The systemic changes are,
however, happening much
too slowly. This, of course, also impacts upon Finnish academics, especially females,
who are more likely to not
be favoured by the decision
makers when compared with
their male colleagues.
This doesn?t feel like the Finland I read about in that geography atlas all those years

Transporting behaviour
The current public transportation is too weak to serve all
people?s needs, Heikkilä evaluates. If you look at the developments in mortgage lending and the retail sector, the real economy is still in a
precarious state,. Aalto-Matturi says.
Aalto-Matturi points out
that alcohol results in up to
7-billion-euro worth of indirect and direct costs to Finnish society, and is the most
significant factor in cutting
work careers shorter.
?The adverse effects of alcohol are a cause for concern
in public discussion, but the
discussion on alcohol is also deemed patronising and
Those who work in preventive substance work are disappointed by the fact that
government parties decided
to suspend the alcohol legislation amendment recently. It would be great if the confidence improved further as shops and restaurants aren?t doing particularly well.?
The director also called attention to the fact that the confidence of consumers in their own economic situation has also
improved. Heikkilä states.
So would it be possible for
people to be able to change
their behaviour on a large
scale within ten years?
?This could work, even
though older people do not
wish to give up their cars.
Change comes gradually,?
Heikkilä says.
Society wants to save
money and the environment,
particularly in the growing
Helsinki region.
The notion of transportation as a service entails risks
from the perspective of both
the citizen and transportation company.
?Of course it is possible that, even in this way,
transportation cannot be arranged effectively enough,?
Heikkilä says.
To put it simply: with good
luck, everyone wins when
transportation services can
be provided more accurately in ways that people really
want to use them.
With bad luck, supply and
demand will correlate even
less, when simultaneously everyone wants to take a
taxi home from their Christmas party.
Heikkilä believes that the
problem can be solved with
price elasticity, for example.

?Consumer confidence has improved slightly from the previous

?It?s quite the challenge to
encourage people like these,
who have no clear plan for

life,. It?s
not enough that something
was discussed or considered,. ?The case
was a question of the actions of a single company in
a dominant market position.
It doesn?t change the fact
that even after the verdict
the dominant market position is maintained,. Now, the prices are

The verdict, Valio argues,
also guarantees its competitors ?artificially high

in an asphalt cartel in 2009,
Koponen points out, was
even higher than the one levied on Valio.
?The fine is substantial.
Penalty payments imposed

are notably higher than before,. Jokinen
reminds.
Antti Rauhamaa, the
chairman of the board at Valio, views that the verdict is
an attempt to ?get a Finnish
company into trouble?.
The decision by KKV in
2012 to oblige Valio to raise
its milk prices has already
cost consumers 100 million
euros, Rauhamaa also estimates. imprisonment for the
preparation of an aggravated offence against the health
and life of others.
The defendants had devised a plan to obtain firearms by robbing a gun shop
and to manufacture arsine gas in order to kill up to
50 people at the University
of Helsinki. In a ruling delivered on 26 June, the court
cites brusque e-mail correspondence in which several
Valio executives conspire to
resort to predatory pricing
to drive the Swedish-Danish dairy company out of the
Finnish milk market.
The penalty payment of 70
million euros consequently
imposed on Valio is the highest
fine levied on a single company for violations of competition laws in the country.
Aki Koponen, a researcher specialising in competition at the Turku School of
Economics, views that the
penalty signifies recent developments in both Finland
and Europe. What will their future
be like, will they apply for a
KIMMO
study place . Nuotio explains.
Nuotio also emphasises that Finland should not
expect the law to prevent
crime. ?As firsttime offenders, they?ll serve
18 months. Koponen says.
The fine levied on Valio is based on a statement
submitted by the Finnish
Competition and Consumer
Authority (KKV).
Juhani Jokinen, the director general at KKV, views
that the ruling is an indication of the effectiveness of
the monitoring and sanction mechanisms in Finland.
?That?s an important aspect,?
he says.
KKV in its statement
deemed the actions of Valio serious and has welcomed
the verdict by the Market
Court as a positive signal for
policy-making. Their names and
faces have been made public. I
hope that competition in the
milk market is here to stay,?
Kiskola says.. What is
more important for both effective competition and consumers is whether there is
one or two major operators
in the Finnish market and
whether or not the market is
even penetrable.
Reijo Kiskola, the CEO at
Arla, says that the verdict allows the dairy company to
compete with its new concept, ?Milk from Finland?. The fact that a special police unit instead had to wait
for the gang to move cost an
estimated 100,000 euros, according to the Helsinki Police
Department.
Ultimately, the criminalisation of the preparation of
aggravated offences was entered into the programme
of the Government of Jyrki
Katainen (NCP).
?As such, the legislative change was necessary,
but it was difficult to implement due to the complexity
of criminalising preparation.
We had an idea that we should
seek to describe the acts. ?Earlier,
even serious violations didn?t
result in terribly high fines.?
The ruling, he believes, is
a firm statement against the
misuse of a dominant position in a market.
?It?ll be interesting to
see how this affects the
grocery sector, where operators are considered to hold
a dominant position,. Neither of
them are enrolled at the University of Helsinki.
The attack was initially
set to be carried out in January, but the defendants
called it off to refine their
plans.
The defendants were
nabbed by the police in
March, after a 17-year-old

take part in the attack by the
male defendant revealed the
plan to her friend.
Both defendants denied
the charges in court, insisting that they had no intention of carrying out the

Based on strict economic cooperation between
member states, the Eurasian Economic Union agreement provides the freedom
of movement of goods, services, capital and labour, and
coordinated economic policy
within the three countries.
The Eurasian Economic
Union agreement reflects the
basic aspects inherent in the
international organisations,
such as the principles of sov-
ereign equality of the states
and territorial inviolability.
The document provides the
consensus mechanism for
decision-making at all levels.
The personnel policy in the
bodies of the Union would be
conducted on the principle of
equal representation of the
members of the Agreement.
Kazakhstan is expected to benefit from this longterm agreement. It also borders 1,894 km on the
Caspian Sea.
On July 6, Astana will celebrate the sixteenth anniversary as Kazakhstan?s capital.
Kazakhstan starts construction of
?Astana EXPO-2017. The main exposition
pavilion is spherical in design with a diametre of 80
metres and a height of 100
metres. As a result, new road configurations
in the area are expected to
emerge to reduce traffic.
The botanic gardens
project is divided into six
parts: two park zones, an
entrance with fountains,
an open ground garden
that reflects the nature
of the country, an artificial lake to represent water plants and a botanic
garden with greenhouses. The
97-hectare gardens architecture will reflect the architecture of surrounding
buildings and planned to be
incorporated into the existing street network. The greenhouses will
have themes such as Mediterranean Forest, Asian
Landscape, The Garden of
Land and Mother, Tropical
Greenhouse, and gardens
reflecting the countries of
fect bilateral relations with
other countries or multilateral agreements. After completion of the international event, all of the new
buildings will be integrated
into the greater city and local
economy to meet Astana?s increasing demands.

rules for negotiating the proposed treaty.
Stephen Townley, the US

States will not participate in
this IGWG, and we encourage
others to do the same.?
There are also a host of

how an internationally binding instrument would apply
to corporations, which are
not subjects of international law, and how states would
implement such an instrument, said Townley, special

She said the treaty alliance is already making

added.
Speaking of the proposed
treaty, Schaik stated this is
something that Friends of
the Earth has campaigned
for for years, if not decades.
?We have always wanted
the UN to take responsibility to develop such a mechanism, since they are the
only international democratic decision-making body
that is able to work on such a
proposal.?
So, it is better than, for
example, having legislation
adopted by some countries,
or regional bodies (if this
would have been feasible at
all), she added.
Secondly, Schaik said,
what is very positive as well
is that in the resolution, a
roadmap is already laid out
for the first steps of this
working group.
?The division of the votes
clearly shows that the countries who are host to a lot of

Hundreds gather to protest alleged police brutality in Maan, Jordan, this week. One of the largest
employers is a state cement
factory.
Maan has been a crucible for anti-government activists for a generation and
today is home to leading alQaida clerics, who themselves fear that the younger
generation may no longer listen to the Salafist old guard
but instead run off and join
newer, more extreme groups
such as ISIL.
Like most observers,
Jordan?s leaders appeared
to be taken by surprise by
the lightning-quick advance and string of conquests this month by ISIL
fighters and Sunni rebels
who reached the environs
of Baghdad.
Originating in al-Qaida,
patched together by splinter
groups fighting in Syria and
Sunni insurgents in Iraq, ISIL
seeks to establish a Muslim
caliphate based on an especially strict interpretation of
Islamic law.
Security analysts estimate that about 2,000 Jordanians are fighting in Syria
and Iraq today, at least half of
them with ISIL.
Reports earlier this month
suggested that ISIL forces had
taken the key Iraqi-Jordanian border crossing at Turaibil,
but Jordanian military officials told reporters this week
that Sunni tribes control the
area after the Iraqi military
left following clashes with
ISIL. ?The city has been forgotten. said Mohammed Kreishan, one of
the marchers. ?In the Islamic State, we have found our
alternative.?
This week, anti-government demonstrators gathered at the mosque in central
Maan and marched toward
the courthouse with gasoline bombs, but they were
deterred by the presence of
Jordanian riot police in armored personnel carriers.
A symbol of Jordan?s
monarchy and central government, the charred and
bullet-riddled courthouse has

Guiding Principles, which enjoy strong EU support,. she asked.
She said the EU has clearly
stated it will not cooperate in
implementing the proposal.
And after the vote, the
United States said this legally binding instrument will
not be binding for those who
vote against it.
?So we can expect some
fierce opposition,. one of the basic
tenets of Western multi-party democracy: majority rules.
But at the United Nations,
the 29 member states have
frequently abandoned that
principle when it insists on

What is worrying, he said, ?is
that poverty and dissatisfaction create fertile ground for
extremist organizations in
Jordan. Townley told
delegates.
He said ?while we share
and appreciate the concerns
expressed by some delegations and civil society colleagues that we need to do
more to improve access to

abuses, our concern is that
this initiative [for a legally
binding treaty] will have exactly the opposite effect.?
Philip Lynch, director of
International Service for Hu-

to be effective, it is crucial
that any treaty on business
and human rights be negotiated with input from all relevant stakeholders and that
it cover all business enterprises, not just transnational

British researchers studied sperm samples from

The quality of the semen

Men who kept their cell

it?s been hard to achieve a viable way that will remineralise established, large lesions

By the time a dentist looks
at an X-ray and identifies a
cavity, he or she is seeing a

started to decay.
Teeth can repair themselves by replacing those
minerals with ones found in
saliva or fluoride through a
natural ?remineralisation?

the deterioration of sperm correlates with how long a man

In theory, a dentist would

minerals back into the tooth.
The process would be

?Emperor Alexander III of
Russia and Finland . Failing
to leave work worries behind
has a detrimental effect on
an employee?s wellbeing after time off. A
Dutch study found that the
beneficial effects of a holiday wear off quickly, regardless of the holiday?s
duration. For 70 per cent of holidaymakers, uncertainty and
tweaking minor details concerning trips and the time
consumed by this were the
most stressful factors related to holidays.

N iina W o o lley . The beneficial effects of getting
a good night?s sleep regularly also last longer than
the actual time off work.
Studies found that taking
a trip did not increase happiness more than a staycation. During a holiday,
an employee?s health, mood
and energy levels improve,
only to return to their original levels in the first week
back at work. Following the latest expansion, designed under the supervision
of Kristian Gullichsen and
completed in the spring of
2000, the museum has been
operating on a 2800 m2 area,
of which about 1200 m2 are
dedicated to exhibitions.
?The museum comprises a
huge, unified exhibition hall,
which adapts to the changing needs of the exhibitions,
and large windows overlook-
ing the river landscape,. The most recent, on the
other hand, consists of works
by teachers and students of
the Free Art School and internationally
acclaimed
artists, from Augustin Gardenas and Victor Vasarely to
Alberto Viani.
The second permanent
collection on display at the
museum is the Pori Municipal Collection. adds
Nummelin. The expectation of a
holiday trip may increase
happiness levels but this effect wore off by the end of
the holiday, with only ?an
extremely relaxing trip?
having a positive effect on
happiness levels also after
starting back at work.

Second pick in

Kasperi Kapanen, a 17-yearold forward of KalPa Kuopio, was the second Finn to be
picked in the first round of the
2014 NHL Draft, Pittsburgh
Penguins calling his name as
the 22nd player of the draft.

unable to mount a challenge
and had to settle for a tie for
third place.
The Finn, however, did little wrong until the par-5 closing hole, where he pulled his
iron off the tee into the leftside trees. ?I made
sure that I paced myself well,
that I?m not too quick with
things and that I keep my
head up no matter what happens,. Ilonen finished one shot clear of Edoardo
Molinari on 13 under par.

The 34-year-old Finn clinched his fourth European Tour win with a
final-round 70.
Ro o p e V isu r i . A bogey was nonetheless enough to beat Italy?s
Edoardo Molinari by one shot.
Focus and inspiration
In an interview with European Tour, Ilonen said that his
focus had been to keep the
ball on the fairway. Ilonen came close to winning
earlier this year in Qatar,
where he lost to Spain?s Sergio Garcia on the third playoff hole at the Commercial
Bank Qatar Masters.
In addition to Ilonen,
Roope Kakko can be pleased
with his performance at
the Irish Open, finishing six
shots behind his countryman
in a tie for 21st.
Kakko on Sunday hit
the ground running, carding three birdies in his first
four holes. Kasperi
Kapanen said.
Another curious coincidence was that Jim Rutherford, the general manager
of Pittsburgh Penguins, was
also responsible for drafting Sami Kapanen for Hartford Whalers in 1995. H T
MIKKO Ilonen commemorated his 300th appearance on
the European Tour by completing a rare wire-to-wire
victory in the Irish Open at
Fota Island Resort on 22 June.
With his most lucrative win
on tour, the 34-year-old Finn
climbed to 51st in the Official World Golf Ranking and
brought his earnings for the
season to 777,420 euros.
The Flying Finn led the Irish
Open from day one, setting a
new course record of sevenunder-par 64 in the opening
round and doing enough between Friday and Sunday to
keep his rivals at bay.
Ilonen teed off for the final round with England?s
Danny Willett, who had broken his course record by

third-round, including a holein-one. H T
Julius Honka

tomer feedback on X-tra Pizzaraaste is rare.
Nummi does not consider
the name of the product to be
misleading.
Labelling aims to be as informative and concise when
it comes to describing the
product. No drink is
less harmful than the other,
in practice.?
Organic alcohol drinks are
less harmful.
?It is a question of harmful
additives in the drinks, and

EAT & DRINK
3. It
takes a serious drinking rut
to reach this state, with large
amounts and weeks of continuous consumption of alcohol. In other words, they
stem from binge drinking.
The notion of alcohol consumption in Mediterranean
countries is associated with
moderate use and dining, and
a comfortable lifestyle. The
amount of harmful effects
form alcohol correlates with
how much alcohol is consumed. Is it better to binge drink or tipple?
Are beer bellies the result of
drinking beer. makes you stupid.
There is no proof that each
case of drinking destroys a
certain amount of brain cells.
Long-term use with serious
alcoholics involves toxic effects that damage the brain.
This is different from random alcohol use.?
Alcoholism in the family
leads to an increased risk of
becoming an alcoholic.
?Yes. Yet the
doses are so small that it is
not worth consuming beer to
repair vitamin B deficiency.?
Red wine is the healthiest
alcohol drink.
?I would not call it healthy,
but least detrimental. The best way to evaluate
your own risk is to check the
family history of alcoholism.?
Since the liver burns one dose
of alcohol (for example 33 cl
of beer or 4 cl of pure alcohol) in two hours, it is possible to consume five doses in
10 hours and still drive home.
?If one is certain that the alcohol has left the system,
then why not. I
don?t believe that drinking
a bit more occasionally has
any significant detrimental
effects.?
Beer bellies are not caused
by beer, but gluttony and excessive intake of energy.
?Alcohol results in abdominal obesity. In some cases even days
of heavy alcohol use may be
enough.?
Alcohol use kills brain cells,
i.e. Lehto says.. These are
present in binge drinking
too, but the so-called intoxication hindrances are most
predominant here: a hit on
the head or getting in a fight
when drunk. This
is because they do not allow
the drunken people to leave
the four walls and dishonour their family. In this sense the
relaxation caused by alcohol can be considered positive, but this does not make
it healthy.?
Beer provides vitamin B.
?Beer has vitamin B. Different drinks involve different
kinds of use methods, which
is perhaps where the myth
stems from. S Group has
named the product pizzaraaste (?pizza grate?), as
there is no apt direct translation for it. When it comes
to the low heart disease mortality rate of the French, it
is not due to the healthiness
of red wine, but because the
French have different genes.
In terms of health it makes
no difference if one consumes a dose of liquor or red
or white wine. Groceries are labelled according to provisions on the labelling of
foodstuffs, and other more
detailed decrees and direc-
tives. she says.
?The product also carries
the name of the foodstuff,
i.e. The wise thing
to do is to remain below the
risk level. What is essential is
that the name or other presentation of the foodstuff
is not misleading for the
consumer.?
Senior Inspector at The
Finnish Food Safety Authority Evira Tuulikki Lehto confirms that the name of X-tra
Pizzaraaste follows regulations and directives.
?If the name of the grocery promises something,
the promise needs to be carried out. The
manufacturing of the product is commissioned by S
group.
So, what is this product,
Product Quality Manager at S
group, Riikka Nummi?
?Our goal has been to insert an affordable option in
an affordable product line.
The price of the product is
slightly below the regular
Grated pizza
price, as milk fat has been
replaced with vegetable fat.
Two per cent of the product is also made up of potato
starch, which keeps the grate
loose,. Vegetable fat was
considered to be healthier than cheese made of milk
fat.?
Vegetable fat cheese
has since disappeared from
the markets, but X-tra Pizzaraaste has been sold for
around ten years.
?The price of the product
and how it functions as a topping and on pizza have upheld its position. I guess one should
not be too uptight here. Tippling produces
impediments to metabolism
and the central nervous system, in particular. The product label
mentions both names.
The product cannot be
called cheese, as this is reserved for products based
exclusively on milk.
The vegetable fat product used in the product has
previously been called vegetable fat cheese, Nummi
states.
?Similar products used to
come in forms that could be
planed, chunk cheese meant
for bread. For women the limit is 16 doses in a week and
five in a day. 10 JULY 2014

Pizzaraaste, sold in S group
stores, contains 50 per cent
cheese and 48 per cent of a
vegetable fat product that resembles cheese.
The ingredients of the
vegetable fat product are
water, palm oil, potato
starch, milk protein, salt
and processed salt. Nummi says.
According to Nummi
a corresponding product
is sold in several European countries, for example,
in Sweden by the name PizzaTopping. Researching
Professor Kalervo Kiianmaa
from the National Institute
of Health and Welfare evaluates notions on alcohol.
A small amount of alcohol
is relaxing, which makes it
healthy.
?It is a kind of cocktail party
effect: the first drink makes
it easier to approach oth-
er people. One could speak
of alcohol bellies instead of
beer bellies.?
A drinking rut should not be
halted abruptly, as this may
result in death.
?A serious cycle of drinking
requires hospital treatment,
as it does indeed involve the
risk of death. But because
of these drinking habits their
hospitals are filled with patients of liver cirrhosis.?
It is always safe to have one
dose of alcohol.
?It is unlikely that for example one dose of alcohol in a
day would be harmful, but
having one alcohol dose several times a day is not good.?
If one has been on a non-alcoholic diet for a long time,
drinking a bit more during
Midsummer should not be
taken too seriously.
?What does ?a bit more?
mean. An expert evaluates
assumptions on alcohol

But the follow-up to
the 2010 blockbuster, based
on books by Cressida Cowell
about a dragon rider and his
beloved pet, shows sequelmakers how to do it right.
The movie begins five
years after the last one ended. Kicked to the curb by her hipster muso boyfriend, she comes into the orbit of Mark Ruffalo?s struggling record producer, who gets things back on track for both
of them. And one
running joke involves the
boorish Ruffnut (Kristen
Wiig) as she pines over Eret, her eyes going googly in
slow-mo as she says, ?Me
likey.?
The animation is splendid,
whether it?s showing the acrobatics of dragon riders or
a swirl of flying animals of all
shapes, sizes and colors doing laps around the sanctuary. CULTURE
How to Train Your Dragon 2: riveting, moving and beautifully
animated.
?How to Train Your Dragon
2?: A 3-D adventure
that still soars
coming at them. Hiccup has a
metal prosthesis . but that
doesn?t slow them down.
On one of these adventures, the beanpole of a
young man stumbles upon an island made of spiky
ice that?s home to some unsavory characters. Meanwhile, the movie manages to tackle themes
of growing up and finding independence; coming to terms
with one?s heritage; forgiveness; and how to properly
care for a pet. JO?S

O
O
-Europe Festival Guide (UK). (PETA may not entirely approve of this particular
scene, animated or not.)
But while the whole island
watches the tourney, self-appointed cartographer Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel)
and his pet night fury, Toothless . There?s none of that
here. Both are still dealing
with injuries suffered in the
first movie . Finally, Un château en Italie offers some lukewarmlyreceived melodrama from Italy and France. But in How
to Train Your Dragon 2, that
moment is really just an auspicious beginning for a riveting, moving and beautifully
animated film.
It?s understandable if you
approach this sequel with
some resignation. The undoing of many a sequel lies
in its insistence on introducing multiple enemies to up
the ante. Chinese-Hong Kong flick Drug War sees a meth producer seeking to avoid the death penalty by turning informant. Anyone with
a cat, dog, ferret or guinea
pig will probably melt when
Toothless jumps on Hiccup
and doles out some big sloppy kisses.
The movie is also funny.
During most conversational scenes, you might notice
dragons in the background
doing silly things. But it?s not all pristine.
The movie shows, believably,
the grime of living in this
fantastical rough-and-tumble world. Begin Again offers the tale of an ambitious young female singer (Keira Knightley) who moves to New York City
in search of stardom. Nearly all the characters are dirty, maimed or
both.
There are a few moments
toward the movie?s climax
when things slow down just
enough to make the little
ones restless. This may be
the first and last time anyone
says this, but if How to Train
Your Dragon 2 is this good,
why stop at 3 and 4?
Elsewhere on screens
If Once was your thing a few years back, no doubt you?re already looking forward to the latest from same director, John
Carney. There?s hope for
taking on Drago, though.
Hiccup joins forces with a
masked dragon rider whose
identity won?t be revealed
here, except to say that she?s
voiced by Cate Blanchett and
has a real dream job: She?s
the zookeeper of a massive
dragon sanctuary.
How to Train Your Dragon 2 is brimming with action
while remaining mercifully straightforward. T w e n t i e t h C e n t u r y F ox

of 3-D wears off quickly, regardless of age.) But before
