THE STATEMENT made by Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen (NCP) on 22 May
that Finnish fighter jets had performed a flyover to identify the two
Russian aircraft that had violated
Finnish airspace two days earlier was
false due to misinformation provided
by the Government Situation Centre.
The premier and other members
of the cabinet had been informed
that a violation of Finnish airspace
had been detected on a flyover.
The Government Situation Centre and the Defence Forces communicate regularly in order to inform
cabinet members of any irregular events associated with, for example, the border security and
territorial integrity of Finland. U-26 went missing in
the Gulf of Finland in August 1915.
The Germans have been trying to
find out what happened to the submarine but the U-boat?s fate has remained a mystery until now.
The submarine disappeared
without a trace, with its location remaining unknown. ?Misunderstandings take place from

Jouni Polkko from Badewanne says
that the wreck is located in the western Gulf of Finland.

IN FACT, given that the 2003
invasion of Iraq remains one
of the worst foreign policy blunders in US history,
and that no good US national security interest has been
served by our staying in Afghanistan as long as we have,
Obama deserves credit for
quieting most of his domestic
critics as he has slowly extri-
cated the US from both military ventures.
OBAMA also used his speech
to justify that the US has not
allowed itself to be sucked
into the military conflict in
Syria (where his stance has
the support of most Americans, if not most of the Washington commentariat.)
HE HAS also emphasised the US
choice of diplomacy over military power in dealing with the
Iranian nuclear programme ?

has stated: ?we reserve all options to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.?

Viewpoints are commentaries written by experts and authorities about specific topics. Another was ready to take Obama
on while he still shaking the

WHAT is the president?s sin in
the eyes of these naysayers?
OBAMA understands that the
world has changed since the
end of the Cold War, which
saw the collapse of Soviet internal and external empires
and European communism;
the diffusion of power; the
rise of new economic competitors and globalisation
in general; and a shift from
state monopoly of violence
to what are euphemistically
called ?non-state actors.?

many of his predecessors,
they have a point, at least in

IN THE FINAL analysis, the
test of Obama?s foreign policy for the balance of his term
will be whether he will finally begin integrating different
elements of his approach, relate different instruments
of power and influence to
one another, upgrade strategic thinking in his administration, and place resources
where the new world he conjures requires.

are particularly visible when
it comes to mothers.
Educated and working
mothers spend on average
three hours more on childcare than working mothers

?To an extent, the difference can be explained by
the fact that less-educated mothers more often work

higher education. From the perspective of international trade, Finland is almost an island, with most of our export and import transported by sea. The Finnish government and president have been

of a frontrunner in this process, which has also been acknowledged by the government. In addition to railways,
roads and air routes, the EU?s route to the coast would
involve information and telecommunication networks.

The consumer confidence
indicator of Statistics Finland recovered in May from
its reading of 3.7 in April to
8.7, indicating that the confidence of Finnish consumers
has strengthened as the temperatures have risen.
Regardless, the consumer
confidence indicator remains
notably below its long-term
average reading.
Statistics Finland in early May interviewed approximately 1,300 residents of
Finland for its consumer survey. The name
Pelago derives from archipelago and nostalgia for islands,
according to Hyppönen.
The brothers started off by
making recycled bikes from a
truckload of old frames they
picked up from a recycling
centre. In the survey, 64 per cent
of consumers revealed that
they had already been able to
put money aside and 78 per
cent that they expect to be
able to do so over the next 12

THE simple fact is that the status quo is not working. explains Hyppönen.
Currently Pelago employs
around a dozen people. Spain
was a good example of how voters rejected the old left
and moved to more radical alternatives. The consumer confidence
indicator is measured on the
basis of four components: the
perception of consumers of
the Finnish economy, the unemployment situation, their
own economic situation and
saving possibilities.

Being open about illness
helped Jussi Kivimäki cope
with Parkinson?s disease
Jussi Kivimäki was diagnosed with an incurable illness at the age
of 49. He believes that being open about the disease helped him
come to the terms with the changes to his life.
Jussi Kivimäki wrote
a monologue about
the illness he was
diagnosed with 15
years ago.

5 MAY . explains Kivimäki.
In the play, Kivimäki explores his life with Parkinson?s disease with a heavy
dose of self irony.
?I?ve always gone for gallows humour.?
The play that has been
touring the country has been
received with a great deal
of interest and its personal approach has impressed
viewers particularly at educational institutions.
Born in Jalasjärvi in Ostrobothnia, Kivimäki is a
business studies graduate
who worked in publishing.
He retired around the turn of
the millennium, a year after
his diagnosis.
Thanks to his early retirement, Kivimäki suddenly
found he had a lot of time on
his hands but it did not take
him long to get used to his
changed situation.

or three months to come to
terms with the situation. a Finnish band that

has widened. Each
school has picked a theme it
will embody, which should
make for some colourful
entertainment.

developing Parkinson?s disease was ?quite a shock?, he
chose to laugh in the face of
adversity.
?Now that I?ve got this illness, I have to live with it.?
Believing that openness
has helped him cope with
the drastic change in his life,
Kivimäki says that people
with a serious illness should
try to speak openly to friends
and family.
?Talking about an illness
is a choice that everyone has
to make for themselves but a
disease is easier to deal with
if you tell those closest to you
immediately. And if
that?s not enough, two dance
groups, União da Roseira and

has almost bounced back to

diagnosis
came as a surprise not only
to him but also to the doctor.
?When the disease started manifesting itself, I was

I?m simply
concerned that a great and

they would put on loose-fitting gowns called togas.
Women had their own

gripped it as if it was a baseball bat and was told to reverse his hands.
?Are you sure, I asked. You improve

friends,. Usually, they wore
nothing at all. Some, like Martha Washington, had lead
weights sewn into the hems
of their bathing gowns so the

Over time, bathing and
swimming became less popular. With the arrival of

you?re at the pool or the
beach this summer. s M o u nt V e r n o n
The history of swimsuits,
from togas to bikinis
Three women at a beach display bathing suits that were popular around 1919. old
and cosy, where people enjoy their time also off the
course,. Swimsuits got smaller. The
gown, made of blue and white
linen has lead weights sown
into the hem for modesty.
also wore bathing caps and
long black stockings.
Women were expected
to be modest in other ways
as well. Tilander does not understand the
reasoning.
?This is the oldest golf
course in Finland, an institution of sorts. Tilander reminisces.
The voice of Tilander, on
the other hand, is familiar to
many a golf enthusiast in Finland due to his years as a TV
commentator for major tournaments in 1997-2007 alongside Asko Arkkola.
In addition, Tilander has
paved the way for Finnish
golfers to succeed on the
world stage as the captain of
first the national youth team,
then the national men?s team
and finally the national senior team.
In particular, he retains
an avid interest in the history of the game and has written a number of historical
reviews of Finnish golf clubs.
Is there a book that has yet to
be written. Whatever you wear to the pool or
the beach this summer, enjoy the sun and water. The first modern
swim trunks actually made
swimming more difficult
because they weighed nine
pounds when wet and could
slip off!
Form-fitting suits came
along in the 1930s. A onepiece ?princess. And
be glad you weren?t around
100 or 200 years ago, when
swimsuits were made of itchy
wool and looked like Hogwarts robes. Others go with whatever Mom or
Dad chooses for them. For
golfers, Tilander says, the
first ten years are the most
rewarding. Before the 1500s, in fact,
people in Europe thought that
public bathing helped spread
the diseases that killed millions and wiped out entire
towns during the Middle Ages.
It wasn?t until the 17th
century that swimming and
public bathing spas became
popular again. And ask
yourself: Would we look better in canvas bloomers and
wool waistcoats?
HELSINKI TIMES
Godfather of
Finnish golf
speaks up for
Tali golf course
R iitta Ko i v uranta . His career in golf
has spanned 53 seasons, and
he has accumulated a large
collection of books on golf.. It?s as if you
were to demolish the Helsinki Olympic Stadium,. In addition to
men, women were able to enjoy these activities, though
they had to do so in nightgown-like dresses.
A British fashion report
from 1687 described ladies?
?bathing costumes.. Women?s
bathing dresses often had
high collars and went all the
way down to their toes. Striped shirts and shorts
were the rage for men in the
1870s. Tilander tells and bursts out
laughing.
Today, his expertise and
knowledge of golf is unrivalled
in Finland. ?That?s when everything is new, exciting and
fascinating. In the
debates at the Helsinki City
Council, the golf course has
been referred to as an elitist
club. Has
it been tested. H S
A leksi T ei vainen . So people covered
themselves as much as possible. They
also wore toe-length cloaks
over their wet suits when
crossing the beach.
When they began sharing
the beach with men at the turn
of the 20th century, American
women wanted more stylish
swim attire. Tilander recalls.
Stands had been erected on both sides of the sixth
hole of the golf course for
Nicklaus, known as the Golden Bear, to demonstrate his
skills to the golfing public.
?I expected him to have a
deeper, bear-like voice, but
he had a surprisingly high
voice, almost falsetto,. They
G e o r g e W a sh i n g t o n . Men wore canvas
pants called drawers and
vests called waistcoats.
Back then, showing off
one?s body was considered
improper. This is what golf
courses should be like . The
dresses were made of stiff
canvas and had big sleeves.
The sleeves filled with water and kept the gowns from
clinging and revealing too
much. Tilander says, gazing
out of a clubhouse window.
The shortage of land, Tilander believes, has been used
as a convenient pretext. Men?s one-piece wool
swimsuits looked like long
underwear, with full-length
sleeves and legs. Sleeves were shorter,
and eventually they disappeared.
side covered wooden frames
called ?bathing machines.?
This term also was used
for small wooden cabins at
Atlantic Ocean beaches in the
early to mid-1800s. Colored flags were
posted to let them know
when it was their turn to be
in the water.
Until 1860, men and
boys in England often swam
naked in lakes, rivers and
seas. Few people ashore saw anything but
a head bobbing in the surf.
Many beaches had separate swim times for men and
women. Men?s and
boys. Tilander tells.
Lassi Tilander is one of the
most influential people in
Finnish golf. And with swimming now an acceptable activity, they wanted their suits to
be more functional.
So sleeves were shortened, then done away with.
Necklines were lowered.
Colored braid, ribbons and
bows were added. Some early Roman art shows girls playing
sports in what we would call
bikinis. he says.
Established in 1932, the
Tali golf course is a frequent
subject of discussion at the
Helsinki City Council due to
the desire of green and leftwing councillors, in particular, to transform the course
into a residential area. he
compares.
At present, the lease
for the land will run out in
2034, when Tilander would

separate skirt, was a big hit,
as were matching motherdaughter suits.
Men?s suits were changing, too, but not always for
the better. When the practice was
banned, swimming in one?s
underwear became popular. It?s my dream to finish
that,. ?There are so many unfounded rumours about. ?I have started
writing one, a bit more personal book about my life with

regarded as one of the most influential people in Finnish golf.
This summer will be his
53rd on the golf course. Yes, roughly
600 years ago, he said,. trunks, meanwhile, got
baggier.
And that?s where we are
today. he explains.
Tilander spent his honeymoon with golf at the Lahti
Golf Club at a time when golf
was but a minority sport and
when only a handful of courses had been built in Finland.
He returned to Helsinki in
1971 to settle in a house near
the Tali golf course and has
been a member of the Helsinki Golf Club ever since.
?I live one kilometre from
the course,. Nicklaus,
who remains the most decorated golfer in the world with
18 major victories, had promised to visit the course after
Finland?s Amer Sports had
in 1986 acquired an 80 per
cent share in his struggling
MacGregor Golf Company.
?Nicklaus had won the
Masters for the sixth time a
year earlier,. And after that, nothing was the
same. Flannel replaced wool
and linen as the most popular material for bathing suits.
It was thought to be warmer
when swimming in the cold
sea.
Women, meanwhile, were
shifting to bloomers . 11 JUNE 2014

Some kids spend hours shopping for the right look. The bather could
then step down from the cabin and into the sea. ?I have no
vested interest. a long
skirt worn over loose pants.
The skirt?s hem was about
three inches above the ankle, which was pretty shocking back then. Others are also welcome here.
Surely, it doesn?t make this a
bad place, if some snobs were
here decades ago.?
One of the fondest memories of Tilander from Tali
dates back to the July of 1987,
when golfing legend Jack
Nicklaus visited the Helsinki-based course. But there is no hint
that these outfits were used
for swimming, which was not
something women and girls
did back then.
This bathing gown was worn
by Martha Washington. (Or maybe you?d
like to wear a Hogwarts robe
to the beach!) What follows
is a short history of the bathing suit.
In ancient Greece and
Rome, men swam for exercise and to train as warriors.
They also went to the public baths. Gloves, a belt,
a cap and rubber shoes completed the outfit.
As swimming grew more
popular among European
women, they traded in their
skirts for a less bulky trousersand-blouse swim garment.
American women found that
look too manly and kept their
skirts for decades more. So begins the golfing
story of 80-year-old Lassi
Tilander.
It was 1961 when a friend
took Tilander to a golf course
in Aulanko, Hämeenlinna,
and put a golf club in his hand

Shriver says the line

By modern standards,

For nearly all of her life,
Kathleen Carpenter had
thought of herself as white,
specifically,
one-quarter
German and three-quarters
British. The 70-year-old said
her mother began chronicling their family tree at
least 30 years ago through
the National Archives in
Washington. I
think people take comfort in
identifying their own roots .
. and I think that makes you
more secure in the world.?
There is a case to be made
for connecting with our past
and our ancestors, which is
how panelist CeCe Moore became involved. This
week, Carpenter and about
300 other people interested in genealogy came out
for a panel discussion at the
New-York Historical Society
as part of the World Science
Festival.
?It?s All Relatives: The Science of Your Family Tree,?
was inspired by the PBS series ?Finding Your Roots
With Henry Louis Gates Jr.?
Of the desire to find ancestral
roots, Gates says: ?I think it?s
because people feel so inse-
cure with all the changes of
post-modernity, including
the economic crisis, the crisis
of cultures and of religions. He uses

features, skin color and hair

phones transferred
under Microsoft?s ownership three weeks ago but
the handsets are still Nokia
phones, including the new
Lumia 630.
Based on the price, the
new phone has a definite
goal: to follow in the footsteps of the successful Lumia 520.
Lumia 520 was modest
and cheap, and put together, these features made it
the best-selling Lumia phone
ever.
The overall appearance
immediately gives Lumia 630
away as a budget model. Carpenter says.
Welcome to the new world
of sophisticated DNA testing, where anyone with motivation, money and some
free time can take part. Not only that,
but to make up names that
may be meaningful to the
parent at the time but that
have no connection to anything in that family?s history. Beyond that,
he said, it is important for
more African-Americans to
discover their family trees,
especially now that so much
of the information is available online.
?I think these kinds
of events and this kind of
knowledge is important so
that we can become more
concerned about our history,. and

and helping to expand the
research.
Panelists
participated in an on-site genealogy study called ADAPT. It is
the brainchild of geneticist
Mark Shriver of Pennsylvania State University. In addition, her
brother?s test showed a small
percentage of West African DNA. But, after doing an
Ancestry.com DNA test, the
70-year-old New Yorker now
has an entirely new history
that includes some North African DNA. SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

adds.
Doris Withers was one
of the few blacks in the audience. So, 100 years from now,
you can?t figure out who were
this child?s grandparents,. he told. The definition is
not particularly high, but the
screen can be looked at from
different angles, which is
not a given for phones in this
price category.
The phone does not seem
slow to operate, with most
functions smooth and pleasant to use.
The phone only packs
512MB of RAM in the memory department, which slows
down the use of some apps
and games, in particular.
The Lumia 630 phone has
the latest Windows Phone
operating system, 8.1, where
some of the earlier, less suc-
Nokia?s
cessful features have been
weeded out.
Now the home screen can
be crammed full of functions.
Top of the screen displays all
notifications, organised in
an easy-to-use manner. Now, Withers is
expanding on that research
by incorporating genetic
testing.
She said she has used several DNA companies including Ancestry.com, 23andMe
and African Ancestry, and
found they all gave her similar results.
Catherine Ball, lead geneticist for Ancestry.com,
says differences in results
among consumer companies
that offer genetic predicting
?are all about the algorithms
and the underlying reference
data used to make the predictions.. The big discovery
for her family was that her
brother-in-law, who thought
his ancestry was Native
American, is descended from
Sally Hemings, the slave
with whom President Thomas Jefferson had six children.
It was a pivotal moment
not only for her, but also for
her blond-haired, blue-eyed
niece, ?who was excited to
find out she was ?black?,?
says Moore. Fifteen years
ago, the price was thousands
of dollars.
For many such as Withers
and Carpenter, today?s costs
are money well spent.
?The more we know that
we?re not who we think we
are, the better off we are,?
Carpenter says. Another handy feature is the
possibility to adjust the ring
volume separately from other sounds.
The most interesting
change is the introduction of
swiping keyboard, familiar
from Android phones, which
allows text to be typed by
sliding a finger from one letter to another. ?I have been concerned for decades about the
failure of people to carry on
family names. That is because the
science is so advanced that
?there is no true litmus test?
that can pinpoint an exact
percentage.
Ball adds that while technology has vastly improved
over the years, she believes
that even more significant
advances will be achieved in
the not-too-distant-future.
There is also a hope that the
cost of genetic testing will
continue to decrease; today,
a basic genealogy test costs
about $100

The year 2014 marks the centenary of this renowned pioneer of Finnish furniture design and interior architect, whose most
famous works include T T40 table, Domus chair, Trienna table, Mademoiselle chair and rocking chair, to name a few. Alongside furniture, Tapiovaara also designed interiors for numerous banks, offices, hotels and
shops since the 1940s.
Undoubtedly, Tapiovaara´s favourite material was wood. The exhibition will present interior designs, furniture and
previously undisplayed sketches from archives.

HEL SINK I TIMES
AS the nature of employment continually evolves, an
exhibition at Amos Anderson
Art Museum is taking a closer look at the complexities of
our relationship with work in
Finland.
So, is work a labour of love,
or is it forced labour. Earlier decades depicted work
as lumbering and log driving,
with the struggles of a log
driver in particular presenting a romantic view of the
hard slog of living.
These days hard labour
cannot be captured in one
iconic image, when the dynamism of workers carrying
out their daily task on mass
plored the starting points of
inspiration that are common
to product design and art. Meanwhile, Marimekko also has
boldly employed the likes of
modern dance, ballet and
contemporary art to help facilitiate its expression.
Kiasma+Marimekko= Together includes paintings,
photographs,
sculptures,
installations and ceramics, each serving to create
something innovative and
interesting.
A platform for collaboration between designers and
contemporary artists has
now been opened.
The featured artists include Jenni Hiltunen, Erja Hirvi, Maija Louekari,
by staring at a computer
screen is difficult to capture.
Visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to ponder their own relationship
to work and the meaning of
work in the current age of
fluid job descriptions emerging at the expense of more
traditional jobs.
The transformation in
the representation of work
can be seen in the works se-
lected. the exhibition covers an extraordinary range of topics.
Drawing his inspiration
from the history of art, and
also from Lutheran Christianity, Marila?s paintings echo his
predecessors, including the
German renaissance painters Matthias Grünewald and
Albrecht Dürer, the French
painter Henri Fantin-Latour,
and German neo-expressionists. Mirroring his subject
matter, Marila?s style is intense and emotional, utilising liberal amounts of paint to
fuel thick, vigorous strokes in
order to conceal powerful social messages and sentiments.
Marila employs an exaggerated sense of drama in his
works, as well as the use of
irony. Here director Christian Ryltenius brings Johan
Kindblom and Tomas Tivemark?s original book to the
big screen.

5 MAY . The
output sees that a number of
new works have been created
for the exhibition, designed
particularly with the spaces
within Kiasma in mind.
The collaboration seems
natural: over the years Kiasma has explored the relationship between contemporary
art and other creative disciplines, incorporating music,
design and comics. but is it really?
Some 70 works by 31 artists:
paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, video art
as well as an installation all
offer their own perspective
on the intriguing issue.
The change in perception
towards work in Finland in
recent times is the beating
heart of the exhibition. occupations on display are depicted
by the likes of Alvar Cawén,
Pekka Halonen, Lennart
Segerstråle, Felix Nylund
and Juho Rissanen. In Borgman, a disturbing series of events are set
into motion when a mysterious
man disrupts the comfortable
existence of an affluent family.
Quickly unravelling the
family?s carefully curated
lifestyle, it doesn?t take long
before Camiel Borgman has
the wife, children and nanny
under his spell as he seeks to
take over their home life.

I love that most employees take a month of vacation
in the summer to frolic in the
countryside and soak up the
sunshine. I have been
travelling in Europe well before my teenage years but not
once did I think to visit Scandinavia. I?ve suffered cold,
long winters in Wisconsin;
days where if you?re outside
for more than 10 minutes you
risk frost bite. I love to see fathers playing with their children in the park on a random
Tuesday afternoon. This
time though, I wasn?t just a
visitor.
Reality is that I love Helsinki. Was it dark, dreary and
bone-chillingly cold. Finns are undoubtedly hard workers but they also
hold family and life balance
in high regard. I wish I had grown up
here and had access to the
laudable education system,
endearing Finnish traditions
and tremendous quality of
life. What was this
paradise that I had never paid
much notice to?
Fortunately, I didn?t have
to wait very long until I was
boarding a plane from Chicago and making my way to
Helsinki. It felt safe, clean
and simply happy . Some
days . At
first, I sympathise and relate
to them. but not nearly as intense as I had anticipated.
I loved the streets adorned
with glittery lights and cosy cafés. But then I have to
let them in on the secret; visit
Finland and you will see a society working in perfect, placid harmony. CLASSIFIEDS & SERVICES

It was soothing, still and quiet. Like me, many foreigners might have known and
thought little of Finland. the cold stinging my face and numbing my

Lauren Ayala is a recent 23-year-old graduate with a degree in Journalism & Mass
Communication. But I wasn?t
deterred. I love that
the city is jammed around
5.30 pm when people are
rushing home from work to
have dinner with their families. a far cry
from the jammed streets and
shady alleyways of Chicago.
Don?t get me wrong, I adore
my home city, but there is always something more charming about Europe in general,
be it the antiquated buildings
or the historical statues.
I had a ball visiting Lapland and seeing where Santa Claus originates from. One thing is certain ?

I?ll tell you a secret
For some reason, it never oc-
curred to me to venture to the
Nordic countries. Comparing this
with Chicago, I choose Finland. I wanted to drink in the
glorious archipelago summers, run along the sea wall in
Helsinki and roll in the snow
after overheating in the infamous sauna. At least, I didn?t think
much about Finland in particular until I met a Finn in
my senior year of college at
the University of WisconsinMadison. So there I was,
boarding the plane back to
Finland in late February. We
went dog sledding and snowmobiling . Not only did I fall in
love with him but I fell in love
with the colourful way he described the Finnish way of
life
