THE SUSPENSION of flights over Siberia would be a crippling blow to
Finnair, with the strategy of the ailing Finnish airline resting on the
provision of short and fast connections between Europe and Asia.
Russian news outlets Interfax
and Vedomosti reported on Tuesday that Moscow is mulling over restricting or prohibiting Finnair and
other European airlines from flying over Siberia en route to Asia in
response to the economic sanctions
imposed against Russian businesses by the European Union.
Spokespersons at Finnair declined to comment on the reports.

Minister of Russia, sat down with

Siberian overflight ban
would be a blow to Finnair
DOMESTIC
Restricting or prohibiting Finnair and other European airlines from flying over Siberia en route to Asia would be a crippling blow to Finnair.
Kai Mykkänen, the director of
Russian affairs at the Confederation
of Finnish Industries (EK), believes
restricting Siberian overflights
would not be a particularly rational
response for Russia. Finnish companies have invested almost ?4 billion
in Russia. If Moscow
decides to prohibit flights over Siberia, the airline would lose its key
competitive asset, views Jorma
Mäntynen, a professor at the Department of Information Management and Logistics of the Tampere
University of Technology.
?I believe that would hurt Finnair badly,. It is possible that some limited damage will happen to Finnish
firms because of these sanctions.
For example, many chemicals are
on the ?dual use. The overall slowdown in
Russia?s economy and the fall of the
rouble is more serious.
In 2013 Finnish trade with Russia included 10.5 billion euros in
imports and 5.4 billion euros in exports. he estimated.
Similarly, the significance of the
Helsinki Airport as a hub for air
traffic between Europe and Asia
would diminish.
In addition, Finnair alongside other European airlines flying over Siberia would have to revise their flight
routes. C O R D

On top of an international investigation into violations of international humanitarian law on both sides,
the fundamental political issue that needs to be addressed is Israel?s adamant opposition to granting the
Palestinian people their right to self-determination and

However, in ?return for Hamas meeting its conditions?, observed political analyst Rami Khouri, Israel

Israel or a ?pact. Terrorist killing used to be mostly random. Such
strategic killing can give the
armies a psychological advantage before the clash of

cautionary tale for any Beltway guru calling for a return

Soldiers are usually the first

the perceptive, the signs
of a sea change developing

there. On 2 August, the
UN warned that a ?health disaster of widespread proportions is rapidly unfolding in Gaza.?
An open letter written by doctors and medical experts, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, states: ?The massacre in Gaza spares no one, and
includes the disabled and sick in hospitals, children
playing on the beach or on the roof top, with a large
majority of non-combatants. The

them to either get better or

According to Simola, areas in which the Helsinki congregation has succeeded are
those of peer support networks, as well as activities
directed towards children
and families.

succeeded in sticking with
the times in regards to the
ways of making it happen.

Australian
man suspected
Kaleva on 30 July also confirmed reports circulating
in the Australian media that
one of their captors was an
Australian Muslim convert.
?[An] Australian man was
part of the al-Qaeda group
[that held us captive]. similar
to what is witnessed in the
United States.
In the area stretching
from Ostrobothnia to Finland Proper approximately
86 to 94 per cent of residents
are members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
The church in Helsinki has
begun a membership support campaign. The target is
to find suitable ways for the
residents of Helsinki to create relationships with the
church.
?We use a customer-oriented approach. On 29 July, the American daily reported that Oman
and Qatar paid a total of 20.4
million dollars to al-Qaeda
in the Arabian Peninsula in
2012?2013 to facilitate the
release of four hostages, including Atte and Leila Kaleva.
Speculation over the
amount of ransom purportedly paid for the Finnish couple has continued ever since
their release from captivity in
May 2013. In
Helsinki, such a sense of belonging is much more difficult to acquire?, Simola says.
For instance, the Paavali
congregational area has lively levels of migration and a
relatively young population.
At the end of 2013, approximately 50.8 per cent of those
residents belonged to the
church. Kaleva
stated to Helsingin Sanomat.
?The abductors were very
keen to find out if we were
American or British. Simola
guesses that the immigrant
demographic influences the
numbers of those belonging
to the church by a maximum
of 5-6 per cent.
The Helsinki congregation offers immigrants English-language
activities.
There are also Estonian, Arabic, Russian and Chinese
speaking pastors.
The population demographics also reveal further factors which explain
the decreasing membership
numbers.
?In late years, departure
from the church has been a
movement amongst 20 - 40
year old individuals, and this
age group features highly in
Helsinki. We organise
events at shopping centers.
During the Christmas season, we handed out gingersnap cookies to those headed
to work, accompanied by invitations to volunteer with us.
Now throughout spring, we
have started a big campaign
related to upcoming congregational elections. Our aim is to create
a long-term connection with
families.?
Only 58 per cent of Helsinki residents belong to the
Helsinki church, whereas
elsewhere in Finland the figures reach an average of 75
per cent. This migration is also internal to the city, which
Simola says helps explain in
part the drop in membership numbers from Helsinki
congregations.
?When individuals have
lived for extended periods of
time in the same place, they
gain a sense of belonging to
their church, to which their
forefathers have belonged. Neubauer was a student of
the same language school. mainly I and Dominik
[Neubauer], of course,. he said in an interview with Helsingin Sanomat.
?I didn?t want to comment on
them then, nor do I want to

?Finland hasn?t paid anything or asked anyone else to pay anything,. We have organised communal baptismal
events, which have been attended by a number of children
for the purpose of becoming
baptised?, says vicar Pertti Simola, whose workplace in the
Malmi congregation is Helsinki?s largest, according to numbers of members.
?The congregation has
sent a booklet to the home
of baptised children, which
contains prayers, children?s
songs and crafts for Godparents. Yet, the report by the
American daily represents only
the first reliable estimate of the
rumoured ransom payment.
On 30 July, Atte Kaleva refused to comment on the ongoing speculation.
?When we were released,
there were all kinds of [?] rumours as to who paid and how
much,. I don?t know, and I don?t
want to speculate,. H S
S uvi J oensuu . On the other hand,
in the noticeably more stable residential area of Pakila,
74.8 per cent of residents belonged to the church.
Immigrants a stranger
Helsinki is also home to more
immigrants than anywhere
else in Finland. ?The abduction in Sana?a
was carried out by men who
weren?t religiously motivated.
They turned us quickly over to
al-Qaeda,. he said.
The New York Times also
revealed that the terrorist affiliates have outsourced the
seizing of hostages to criminal
groups working on commission. He finds a stark
difference there, as compared to other provinces.
?For example, we find that
Helsinki residents are much
more attune and react much
more strongly to questions
concerning internal disputes
on woman priests and in regards to relationships?, Simola says.
There are floods of people
moving both into and out of
Helsinki. Such
means originate in the culture of the countryside - for
instance, the custom of having worship at ten, and by
which people come by invitation into the church facilities. 13 AUGUST 2014

A Finnish researcher believes ransom payments to
be means for Oman and Qatar to bankroll the operations
of al-Qaeda without enraging
the international community.
?They may be means to support such Sunni movements,?
estimates Tuomo Melasuo, a
research director at Tampere
Peace Research Institute.
The details disclosed
by The New York Times are
based on interviews conduct-
ed with former hostages, negotiators, diplomats and
government officials in ten

In addition, the American daily estimates that due
to the inclination of European countries to capitulate to
the demands of abductors,
their citizens are more attractive targets for terrorists than the citizens of the
United Kingdom or the United States, which have categorically refused to succumb
to ransom demands.

the airports but also the impact of wind and other factors on fuel consumption.

?Providers of air navigation

Finland has in recent years

Overflights account for

?The commission hopes
that the services are centralised and that support services

Aarnio suspected of falsifying evidence
The District Court of Helsinki on 30 July extended
the detention of Aarnio on
grounds of a slew of earlier criminal charges. chief inspector Mats Lagerstam, the
officer in charge of the in-
vestigation, commented on
Monday.
The female suspect has a
history of assaults, the police
have revealed.
The
suspects
were
brought into custody already
at approximately midday
Friday but have denied any
knowledge of the incident in
interrogations.
?The suspects were
brought into custody on Friday on rather shaky grounds.
New details have arisen in
the course of the pre-trial investigation, and I now believe
the suspicions to be firmly
grounded,. Between 2009 and 2012, only
five people were convicted
of falsification of evidence in
Finland and no one of aggravated form of the offence.

the case are not expected to commence

The police have called for
the detention of a woman
born in 1994 and a man born
in 1977 on suspicion of the attempted manslaughter of a
postal worker in Hanko last
Friday.
The roughly 30-yearold victim was stabbed in
the throat on Kadermonkatu early last Friday, while he
was waiting for his co-worker who had gone back to pick
up a key they had forgotten
in a letter box. H S
THE NUMBER of crimes
against property solved by
the Finnish Police has declined this year, with investigators solving no more than
roughly every-tenth case in
which the offender was not
caught red-handed.
In particular, pickpockets, bicycle thieves and vandals are currently beyond the
reach of the law, the Helsinki
Police Department concedes.
According to the National Police Board, investigating crimes against property
is no longer among the main
priorities of the Finnish Police . Riitta Leppiniemi, the defence counsel of
Aarnio, highlighted after the
detention hearing that the
prolonged period in detention and seclusion has been
hard on Aarnio. Shoplifting and petty thefts are filed under ?secondary importance?,. H S
JARI Aarnio,
a former chief
of the Helsinki Police Department?s drug squad, is suspected of an attempt to frame an
innocent person for a crime,
investigators have revealed.
Jukka Haavisto, the prosecutor in charge of the investigation, revealed on
Wednesday that the suspected attempt is related to the
offences already under investigation but, with the investigation still in its early
stages, declined to comment
on the matter further.
The new suspicions did
not arise until after both the
defence and prosecution
had presented their closing
statements on the pre-trial
investigation.
Haavisto declined to comment on whether the suspected framing attempt has
inconvenienced the victim,
highlighting
nonetheless
that the victim has not been
found guilty of any offences
due to the attempt.
In addition, the leader of
an outlaw gang with ties to
Aarnio is believed to have
been involved in the framing attempt. In addition, Aarnio was detained for
probable cause of aggravated
falsification of evidence for
his activities between February 2012 and spring 2013.
The rare and serious
charge carries a minimum
penalty of four months. The main reason
is that the plaintiff is unable
to describe the thief or to tell
when the theft took place,?
he explains.
Several retailers have noticed crimes against their
property are often left unsolved. If criminal
culpability is not imposed,
the capacity of the police
may appear suspect. at
the time of the arrests, their
condition at the time of the
stabbing remains unknown.
The motive for the act,

refusing to shed any light on
the evidence produced by the
police.
Although the police have
revealed that the suspects
were ?not exactly sober. he highlights.
?For the victim of a property crime, the experience
may be one-off. His detention
was on 30 July extended by
the District Court of Helsinki on grounds of several earlier criminal charges as well
as the charge of aiding and
abetting aggravated falsification of evidence for his activities on 21 February 2012.
Aarnio has been held in
detention since November
and the gang leader since
December. For example,
locating a suspect is more
difficult in a densely than
scarcely populated area.
Koskimäki also points
out that pickpocketing and
certain forms of vandalism
typically concentrate in the
capital region, regardless of
the country.
?No matter how much we
were to invest in preventing pickpocketing, the majority of cases would never
be solved. It would
therefore be important to
solve property crimes more
effectively than today.?
Between January and
June, the Finnish Police
solved 12.5 per cent of the
over 78,000 property crimes
in which the offender was
not caught red-handed and
thus warranted a pre-trial
investigation.
?Half a year is such a short
period that it?s impossible to
draw long-reaching conclusions. The act demonstrates
rather a serious lack of intelligence,. ?It?s extremely regrettable that the resources of the
police have become what they
are today. said Lagerstam.
The District Court of
Raasepori was to decide on
the detention of the suspects
on Tuesday.
Chief inspector Sari Ryynänen patrolled with her partner in Leppävaara, Espoo, where a number of wallet and jewellery thefts have
taken place this summer.
erty stood at 37.5 per cent in
the first half of the year.
The clearance rates for
property crimes warranting an investigation, in turn,
are subject to considerable regional variation, with
the Oulu Police Department
boasting the best clearance
rate, of 17.9 per cent, and the
Helsinki Police Department
the lowest, of 8.3 per cent.
Ilkka Koskimäki, a deputy commissioner at the Hel-
sinki Police Department,
insists that comparing the
clearance rates of various police departments is not particularly productive due to
the differences in operational environments.
In many respects, he argues, the environment in
Helsinki is more similar to
that in Stockholm and Oslo
than to that in smaller Finnish localities. When the coworker returned a few minutes later, the stabbing had

THE ANCIENT northern Iraqi town of Sinjar emptied
Sunday 3 August, with thousands of people fleeing on
foot as Sunni extremist militants made their first significant punches through the
defences of overstretched
Kurdish forces.
Sinjar is an ancestral
home of the long-persecuted
Yazidi religious sect, which
the Islamic State has branded as devil worshipers, and
few of its residents stayed
to find out what was planned
for them when the group?s
militants entered on Sunday.
Until then, Sinjar had been
protected by Kurdish fighters known as pesh merga,
but officials from the semi-
autonomous northern region
have been warning for weeks
that they are poorly equipped
to sustain the defence of the
nearly 1,040-kilometre border they now share with the
militants.
The town of Wana also fell

had informed them that
its operations in Beit Lahiya had ceased and that they
could return. Joint Operations Centres in Irbil and

interested in installing the device, as it provides driving kilometres with less costs and
emissions. Once you intervene with
the car?s original engine control or insert other matters into
it, the engine does not operate

is compelling given our need
for social connection and
community.?
Secret?s creators won?t say
how many users it has, but they
said it keeps growing. The company
is also working on functions
to help users connect better
with each other on a one-toone basis, like Tinder does, by

emissions significantly, but
Lahti states that other emissions pose a problem.
?The engine releases different kinds of emissions.
They can be roughly divided
into carbon dioxide emissions
and harmful local emissions,
such as nitrogen oxides and
a community on social. But the creators
say that people instead are
commenting on a surprising range of issues, including current affairs like Gaza,

Secrets are not supposed to
be told, let alone shared publicly. Still, some people are posting their confessions on the
app Secret, created by a Silicon

?Hot dogs and French fries

It would be hoped that children could also try out new

pregnant women about their

The themes brought forward by the waiters were
familiar both to Marja Hemmi, restaurant manager at

headwaiter Nina Koiranen,
who has a long history in this
line of work.
Hemmi has worked in

to students studying to become chefs. However, on an
anonymous basis, the waiters also related examples
of happenings in which the

?Also, being pregnant has
an impact on different things
for each individual. Instead, they look
at the walls. All of the raw ingredients
are not mentioned, because
in a single serving there can
be up to twenty of them,?
Koiranen says.
?Allergies are taken seriously in restaurants, and
typically those inquiries are
already made when ordering,. Only the main raw-ingredients
are mentioned with the serving. The restaurant

?People have often come

?Due to the heat, the lactarius and milk-cap season

Helsinki Sanomat asked
three waiters from Helsinki?s fine dining restaurants
about their opinions in regards to the behaviours of
Finnish restaurant clientele.
The answer was that Finns
are schooled visitors to restaurants. For this reason, the
delivery of the food takes a

?Waiters do not serve well
out of expectation to receive
a tip, but for good service you
can certainly leave a tip,?
Koiranen says.?

Waiters say:
?Occasionally
customers
forget that children are not
allowed to run in the restaurant. Hopefully Finland does not have
to start the practice of overbooking restaurant space,

Finnish tipping culture
Waiters say:
?When it comes to paying the
bill and a foreigner is about
to leave a tip, the Finn will often stop him or her by saying
that tipping is not necessary
here.?
Experts comment:
?The waiters work in a lowpaying service job, in which
receiving a tip feels very
good,. Koiranen says.
?It would also be good for
the customer to remember
that a table reservation is a
decision to purchase. If we get rain, we
would likely get some sort
of crop, but it wouldn?t even
reach the average level.?
A week ago, chanterelles
were still available for purchase, but now their supply
has run dry, relates head of
the product unit Antero Kujala from Artic International
Oy, who buys the mushrooms
from hunters and sells them
forward to shops.
?Now we are waiting for
water, otherwise the crop
will stay small,. Others escort
themselves to the table.?
?Finns are occasionally irritable and look for something to
quarrel about. Hemmi says.

mushrooms can be gathered

In other words, chanterelles
have grown poorly in their natural habitats, or have dried up.
Liimatainen believes that
the situation could be helped
if it were to rain this week. The production of red meat requires 160

the amounts of land, water

?Annoyingly often I am

is a bit odd when the customer

you can send a list of them beforehand to the restaurant by

theme that brands the content of the musicians. While he may be
the offspring of the immensely talented writer-director

Lucy brings together Morgan Freeman and Scarlett Johansson, in the latest from French director Luc Besson. Far from
titillating, the scene is nothing if not downright embarrassing, as Segel drowns
in a saturation of comedic
desperation.
One other bone of contention has to be with the technology that stamps the film in
a particular date and time. And so it is he who gets
the film back on track with
by far the most entertaining
scene of the film. Not much,
I?m afraid. Events
focus on the omnipresent Johansson, who falls prey to sinister underworld forces. He
was born in 1964 in the state of
Kentucky in the United States.
Thompson moved to Finland in 1998 where he earned
a Master?s degree in English
Philology from the University
of Helsinki. Segel has proved himself
in a number of hilarious comedy outings, and Diaz revealed
her comedic chops is in the
likes of Something About Mary.
A closer look at the director,
however, and the wheels begin
to wobble: Jake Kasdan, he of
the tepid likes of Bad Teacher and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. The revelation of his character?s true
self is stone cold hilarious,
and is of such unexpectedly
high quality, that the rest of
the film almost sails by on the
strength of it alone.
But perhaps to give an
idea of the film?s half-heartedness, Lowe?s comedic brilliance is intercut with some
lazy scenes of Segel snooping
around his house at the same
time. A montage
of earlier romantic trysts
as a young couple fails to ignite interest, and present day
dealings with the duo?s children and the daily grind of
family life are devoid of any
punch whatsoever. Although Thompson wrote in English, he was
translated into Finnish and
marketed as a Finnish writer
for his first book Jerusalemin
Veri (The Blood of Jerusalem),
which was published in 2008.
That same year Stieg Larsson?s The Girl With the Dragon
Tattoo was published in English, ushering in a great global demand for Nordic noir.
Thompson was immediately
signed by legendary New York
literary agent Nat Sobel, who
went on to sell Thompson to
dozens of publishers around
the world. Jim Thompson was
marketed internationally as
James Thompson to avoid confusion with the popular noir
writer of the same name.
Thompson?s first book in
the new series was 2010?s Snow
Angels, a dark, violent book
which explored racism in Finland and followed a tough protagonist, detective Kari Vaara.
Snow Angels was enormously successful, being optioned

Corddry is given more screen

Having accidentally uploaded their steamy coupling
to the all bewildering iCloud,
soon the offending material is in the hands of everyone
who has received an iPad on
loan or as a gift from duo.
One such person is Diaz?s
potential future boss, a prim
and proper conservative
Lowe. Things look on the up, however, when
she gains superhuman abilities that allow her to fight back
against her oppressors. If
it isn?t the sex tape itself (who
actually uses tape anymore?),
it is the presence of the iCloud,
a plot contrivance that will
soon see the film gathering
dust, much in the same way
earlier mobile phones were
once conveniently transported in a suitcase to depict cutting edge tech.
No need to get your hopes
up for a sequel, or begin wondering what future tech toys
will be employed to anchor
the next instalment . Such was the local hunger for some ?tennis heavy?

is it feasible that there will
come a time where the general public tires of the bump
and grind?
Probably not.
Currently, the zeitgeist of
celebrity sex tapes has momentarily faded in intensity,
perhaps dulled by the likes of
Screech from Saved by the Bell
attempting to re-kick start
his career by capitalising on
publicity surrounding his own
contribution to the genre. In
the meantime, the media circus has skipped town, and
found the greener pastures of
teenagers sexting to ensure
the howls of moral outrage
keep ears ringing.
And so, in keeping with its
diminished relevance, the arrival this week of Sex Tape offers up a weary Hollywood
concept, arriving a moment
too late, as public interest
has died down.
So, what?s in store in
terms of story. For local
rockers Brother Firetribe
this was a simple task: translate the name of a Finnish
former professional tennis
player Veli Paloheimo.

Taking their name from

brand of music that they describe as ?tennis heavy?.
Having formed in 2002, the
band has released three fulllengths as well as a live DVD.

the writer of
the popular Kari Vaara series

times have we seen this?
Things wind their way to
a predictable ending, as we
are eventually privy to the
contents of the film. Some supporters
of the Finns party were angry
about thinly-veiled jabs about
them in his books, and many of
the politicians he wrote about
bore striking resemblances to
real-life political leaders. He also was the recipient of several

#4: There is snow!
Singapore is sunny all year
round, and most indoor places in Singapore are air-conditioned. Finland therefore is
a perfect holiday destination
for Singaporeans to see snow.
Also, most Singaporean-Chinese desire fairer skin. Why
spend a fortune on whitening
products. Just come to Finland during winter.
