THE SHIPPING company Finnlines

to Poland at a later date.
Cars will be transported from
Moscow to Helsinki on the Tolstoy

to the destination. Akulov commented.
Russian tourists arriving in Finland by Tolstoy have sparked interest from VR, which is marketing the

Archaeology reveals the past

Tursiannotko in the Pirkkala region, a site of habitation
since the Iron Age. Raninen explains.
The municipality of Pirkkala provides funding for the
project, which is carried out by
the Pirkanmaa Provincial Museum, with half a dozen students employed to work at the
actual site. says the head
of the digs, Sami Raninen
from the Pirkanmaa Provincial Museum.
The second summer of the

and the Middle Ages partly
overlap.

residents do not have to pay
for such tests, the Antiques

for the excavations, which are

?We used to have two

Laulumaa comments.
Oldest sauna
stove in Finland
Last year, besides well-preserved arrowheads and remains of metal and clay
objects, a stone structure in
a corner of a building, reminiscent of a sauna stove
and dating back to the ninth
century, was discovered in
the old habitation site in
Pirkkala.
?At this point, a sauna
stove is a mere hypothesis,?
Raninen says cautiously.
If the hypothesis proves
correct, Finland?s oldest
building with a sauna stove
has been found. The largest excavations are underway in
Lahti where an underground
parking lot will be built under
the Market Square.
Shortage of funding
Vesa Laulumaa, researcher
from the National Board of
Antiquities, con?rms that archaeological excavations are
mainly carried out when the
Antiquities Act so dictates,
otherwise funding for work
is hard to come by.
?Wages are the main expense, a lot of people are
needed for the work,. Over 30 people will work on the site during the various stages of the
excavations.
The Pirkkala site has yielded both old and modern tools for making fire: a 150-year-old flint and a plastic cigarette lighter.
Moving. During the
second day of the excavations,
archaeologists recover two
different tools for making ?re:
a plastic cigarette lighter and a
150-year-old ?int.
?Once we reach the deeper layers, we will discover
older objects,. The
Antiquities Board, however,
has to pay for small test excavations conducted on private
property when there is reason to assume that a building
planned on the plot might destroy historically important
objects unless positioned in
the right place. The building is unlikely to have been a
sauna but the stove probably
heated a late Iron Age house.
Raninen expects that
more Iron Age ?ndings will
be discovered during the second summer of excavations,
perhaps also medieval items.
?After this summer?s excavations, we won?t be stopping the building of the road,?
comments Raninen.

the road safety threatening
to trample upon history.

negligent homicide and negligent violation of of?cial duties following the death of a

According to the prosecutor, the surgeon neglected to

THE SPILL of toxic solvent that
is believed to have wiped out
nearly the entire ?sh population of the river Mätäjoki

is being investigated as aggravated impairment of the

Sampsa Marttila, the of?cer in charge of the investigation, reveals that the spill
was likely caused by negligence, as no evidence to suggest premeditation has been
unearthed in the pre-trial
investigation.
The course of the events,
however, has been largely
determined, allowing the investigating of?cials to concentrate principally on issues
of liability. The defendant has confessed to
the homicides under police interrogation. The man has consequently been detained on
suspicion of preparation
of endangerment and explosives offence. The
family of the patient are demanding 20,000 euro in compensation from the Kuopio
University Hospital.
A 45-year-old man has

swab was not detected in the
scan ordered by the surgeon
but was found a few days later
inside the patient, when another operation was performed on
him following a cardiac arrest.
In court, the defendant
contested all criminal accusations, insisting that
the gauze swab was not the

WHEN the United States invaded Iraq in March 2003,
one of its primary objectives
was to track down and destroy weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) reportedly
stockpiled by the regime of
President Saddam Hussein.
By its own de?nition ?
and by UN standards . according to Frederic Hof, a former State Department Special
Adviser on Syria at the Atlantic Council, who spoke at a
panel that favoured strong US
military intervention at the
US Institute of Peace (USIP).
?The United States and others would be entitled to offer
defensive assistance to counter the Assad insurgency.?
?This scenario would not
preclude national unity negotiations between the new Syrian government and an entity
in Damascus still recognised
by Russia, Iran, and others.?
Hof?s proposal came
amidst a series of military,
diplomatic and political reversals suffered by the opposition that have resulted in
the perception that the Assad
government . apparently based on faulty US
intelligence . said
Goldring, who also represents the Acronym Institute
at the United Nations on conventional weapons and arms
trade issues.
According to military experts, the IEDs used in the
Boston bombings are no different from the IEDs widely
used against US armed forces by insurgents in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Jody Williams, the 1997
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and Chair of the Nobel

Goldring told IPS, ?As horri?c as the Boston bombings
were, the number of casualties was a tiny fraction of

more nuclear weapons were

Scientists estimate that if
even a relatively small (10 kilotonne) nuclear weapon were
detonated in a city, the entire
area of about a mile in every direction would be largely
destroyed.

Numerous trips, organised for both beginners and expert fishermen, help participants discover Finland through fishing.
A fishing paradise
Two gulfs, the Baltic Sea, a hundred rivers and thousands of lakes
makes Finland a very popular destination among fishermen.
YA N N I C K I L U N G A
HEL SINKI TIMES
of its clean and
pure waters, Finland is a very
popular country for ?shermen looking for the catch of
their lives in the Baltic Sea,
or in one of the thousands of
lakes and hundreds of rivers
throughout the country. 10
6 . In jigging,
?shermen ?sh with a speci?c ?shing lure: a jig. Versatile and good for both salt
and freshwater, jigs consist
of a sinker with a hook molded into it and covered by a
soft body to attract the ?sh.
Angling, on the other hand,
is the more traditional and
old method of ??shing with
a hook?.
Every year, approximately 2 million Finns take part in
a ?shing trip or event across
the country. While during the winter the region attracts Santa
Claus seekers and Northern
Lights hunters, in the summertime Lapland becomes a
real meeting point for ?shermen from all over the world.
Brown trout, grayling, pike,
the Arctic char . local or
foreigner . The Teno
River Salmon Championship
is another popular competition where ?shermen compete against one another to
catch the largest salmon and
win the top prize.
This year, in addition to
events open to ?shermen of
all ages, like the Åland Trolling Competition, Finland will
host the 29th Spear?shing
Euro-African Championships
(29-30 June). The Vantaa River (Vantaanjoki in Finnish),
for instance, provides one of
the best areas for anglers, as
well as for picnickers, kayakers and swimmers.
Lapland, and its northern
part in particular, is a very
popular ?shing destination
too. and white?sh populate
almost all rivers and lakes in
northern Finland. while getting to know more
about Finland and the ?sh
species that populate its sea,
lakes and rivers. Locals are very active ?shermen too, as about 40 per cent
of Finns take part in ?shing
trips or events at least once
a year.
There are plenty of places for ?shing a?cionados:
from Lapland to the Southern Coast, from Central Finland to the Western shores.
It is quite easy to ?nd a spot
for angling, jigging or even
ice-?shing, three different
styles one can use, without
having any particular licence, almost everywhere in
the country. for
those interested in ?shing in
the western part of Finland.
In addition there are Linnansaari National Park and
Puruvesi, two of eastern Finland?s most visited ?shing
locations, and the Åland Islands, a little paradise in the
middle of the sea.
Fishing competitions,
fairs and tours
Hundreds of ?shing contests are organised in Finland
throughout the year. With several streams, lakes and natural parks, the region is a
purewater heaven for ?shing
enthusiasts.
A real nature wonder and
UNESCO World Heritage
site, the Kvarken Archipelago has become a ?must. Taking place in
Helsinki at the end of June,
it is a spectacular contest
that sees participants ?shing
with the spear?shing method, a technique that has been
used throughout the world
for millenia.
A guided tour is an excellent choice for those interested in practicing ?shing
. In fact, according to the traditional Finnish
legal concept of ?everyman?s
rights?, everyone . Puruvesi Salmon Championship, a 24
hour rowing marathon held in
Kesälahti, only a few kilometres from the Russian border,
is among the largest. species present in some wilderness areas . Both children
and grownups try to ?nd the
best perch, roach or pikes ?
some of the most common
?sh species here.
Despite
?everyman?s
rights?, some limitations still
apply when it comes to ?shing methods and locations.
Those who are planning to
take this recreational activity to a more serious level
have to pay state fees, such
as the ?shing management
fee (?shermen between the
age of 18 and 64 can choose
to pay 22 euro for one year
or 7 euro for seven days) for
practicing ?shing using other techniques than angling or
jigging, or the provincial lure
?shing fee (29 euro for one
year or 7 euro for seven days),
which grants the right to ?sh
within a certain province
with one rod, reel and lure.
Popular
fishing destinations
Helsinki is a good location
for ?shing. Numerous
trips, organised in different
parts of the country for both
beginners and expert ?shermen, help participants to discover Finland through ?shing.. has the right

Russian-Finnish relations
2013 marks the 150th anniversary of Finnish parliamentarianism.
In 1863, after a fifty-year break, at the order of Russian tsar Alexander II, the Finnish Parliament began to be convened regularly. The Russian
national holiday is directly linked to the values of freedom
and democracy, which our country opted for when, at the
beginning of the 1990s, it found itself at a historical crossroads. On 12th June 1990, the First Congress of Peoples?
Deputies of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) adopted the Declaration on State Sovereignty.
In December 1991, the Soviet Union, which the RSFSR was a
part of, ceased to exist, and the Russian Federation became
its successor state.
In 1994, the ?rst President of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, decreed 12th June a state holiday . This important historical date has been immortalised in the
monument to Alexander II, set up in Senate Square in Helsinki.
Russian-Finnish neighbourliness is multifaceted in character,
with close contacts at all levels, solid, ever-growing trade, a signi?cant number of investment and innovative projects, and active involvement in co-operation between contiguous regions.
Russian-Finnish relations are characterised by a serious
and intense level of political dialogue. The Presidents of Russia and Finland, Vladimir Putin and Sauli Niinistö, met in Russia in June 2012 and in February 2013. Concrete
understandings have been reached on the strengthening of
bilateral co-operation in the spheres of trade, economy and investments, with stress on new technologies and innovations.

6 . The variety of beef on offer is impressive, and I eventually
choose the 220gr New York
steak (?24.50), medium rare
with a side of fried potatoes
and mushrooms (?6). Sure enough,
the meat?s darker exterior is offset by the pink, rare middle. Slicing the meat is
remarkably easy, with the
huge steak knife on the right
of my plate facilitating the
action swiftly. To create this
marble effect though their
meat, the animals that make
up the beef used at GOODWIN Steak House are grain
fed for 100 days.

Marbled beef?
While your idea of mixing
hard surfaces with meat
might be restricted to that
witnessed in the first Rocky
movie, with the pugilist?s
fists pounding carcasses in
a meat cooler-based montage, the reality of marbled
beef is something not altogether strange after all.
Here the meat actually just
contains various amounts
of intramuscular fat weaving through the muscle, giving it an appearance similar
to a marble pattern. For
some extra ?avour on the
side I choose the spicy sauce
made from herbs and garlic. ?The meat
is so tender and has great ?avours,. However, even after such an impressive meaty presentation,
Üprus is keen to point out
that steak isn?t the only thing
on the restaurant?s menu.
?Not everyone takes beef,
so we also have ?sh, soups,
hamburger and lamb,. Greeted by a number
of waiters upon my entrance,
my coat is taken and I take
a seat in one of the leatherbound booths in the dining area. explains manager Helena Üprus. Offering a variety of beefy
dishes, the restaurant uses
the concept of the authen-
tic American steakhouse as
their template, and represents the only chain of its
kind to be found in the Baltics and Scandinavia.

Abrams. With Gosling on
hand as the sibling still drawing breath, things are bound
to go pear shaped in a ?urry
of neon-lit stylised violence.
However, having divided critics upon its Cannes premiere

is all style over substance. Abrams. This Craft
School would later become
the Central School of Industrial Art and then evolve into
the Aalto University School
of Arts, Design and Architecture of the present day.
However, rather than focusing on more popular aspects of the collection, the
exhibition emphasises themes
and subjects that were unable
to be showcased in the recently renewed exhibition of the
museum collections.
Parallel Histories brings
together objects under various thematic umbrellas including the perspectives of
otherness, power, sexuality,
failure, gender, activism, anarchism, political af?liation,
copyright, DIY design, geography and the curse of ornament. When their adopted
son Alejandro (Ben Barnes)
announces his upcoming
wedding to Missy (Amanda
Seyfried), divorced parents
Don (De Niro) and Ellie (Diane Keaton) masquerade as if
they were still married in order to stay on the good side
of their son?s mother-in-law.
With Robin Williams on hand

I discovered that there is a big
difference between ?living
abroad?, which seemed like
a fun experience to me, and
?being a foreigner?, which I
found less amusing.
It turns out you need to get
used to everything, and I mean
BEFORE
everything! What milk to buy,
how to make friends, and even
how to get on the bus. Petersburg, a big, beautiful city
just two hundred kilometres
from the Finnish border.
Finland had always felt like
a special place to me as it was
only a few hours. The same thing
happened to another friend
who lost a laptop on the bus
and also got it back. always seemed to
me a synonym for ?relaxing?, so
when I got married and moved
to Finland it felt like the beginning of a very long vacation.
But real life, of course,
wasn?t all that rosy. For
example, whenever I wanted
to ?nd out how to get to some
place, people on the street
were very polite and tried to
explain in detail the way there.
They really wanted to help,
and that was so nice! One time,
while walking on the street, I
tore the plastic bag containing my groceries, and a woman
passing by stopped and offered me another bag.
I like how the Finns are
calm, friendly and law-abiding people and I think that
the quality that distinguishes Finns more than anything
else is their honesty.
A friend of mine once
told me how he lost his mobile phone somewhere in the
woods, and to his surprise
he was contacted by a man
who had found it and wanted
to return it. The word
?Finland. All those
?simple. Instead
the Finns turned out to be very
nice and friendly people. 12 JUNE 2013

I remember how I was
waiting for the bus one time,
not long after moving here,
and how instead of stopping
to pick me up, it drove right
past me! I didn?t understand
what had happened: why
didn?t the bus stop. I had always thought that Finns are
very reserved and cold, and
never reveal their feelings, but
this wasn?t true at all. Something was wrong
here and I came to think, what
if I never get on the bus, what
if all the buses just continue
driving past me?
What I hadn?t realized

things that turned out to be

Have you got expat views?
I had to learn everything
I moved to Finland I
had already visited the country many times as a tourist. I
was born and raised in St. drive away,
and just like that you were
in Europe! The shopping was
great, the nature beautiful and
the food delicious. But
as I was standing there at the
bus stop pondering my dayto-day life, I only had time to
catch a glimpse of the second
bus, before it also sped past
me. It?s really amazing!
I think adaptation comes
easy in Finland as there are
plenty of courses and social
programmes for foreigners,
and you can learn the Finnish
language and study for free.
People are also open-minded here and treat foreigners
with respect.
Today after four and a half
years in Helsinki, I feel at
home here.
