His novel, Snow Angels, is the first in the Inspector Vaara series and marked his entrance into the international crime fiction scene. The American master of Nordic noir American James Thompson?s third instalment in the Inspector Vaara series, Helsinki White, was released earlier this year. DAV I D J . We truly are in a new era of racial hatred in Europe. Finns and foreigners alike should realise that I write ?ction. FICTION! FICTION! There are elements of truth as I discuss social problems, but all places have social problems. What did your publishers think about this, and why did you want it included? The novel is in part true crime, and racial hatred has come to play a part in Finnish politics. I want them to feel eagerness to get the new book in their hands in anticipation of what I will bring them next. In previous works, Kari?s American wife Kate could be described as giving someone unfamiliar to Finland the introduction to the country, but in this book she plays an even more active role. I?m true to my chosen genre and its traditions, I think readers understand this. How important is her development to the series? Terribly important! The series wouldn?t be nearly as successful without her. Without Kate, there would be no reason for him to consider these issues at all, and to relate them would be nonsensical lecturing. Finns are notorious about their fascination with what the world thinks about them, and once again some Finnish readers are upset The books are set in Finland. It doesn?t impact my writing in the least. The story is told in the ?rst person present by a fairly average Finnish man. The lens is tightly focused on his thoughts moment to moment. The people attacking me would likely be surprised to discover that I agree with them on some issues. I?ve come under personal attack lately by politically motivated people wishing to discredit both me and my writing. When I wrote the piece, Anders Behring Breivik had just committed the mass murder of children in Norway. To quote, in translation, a review of Helsinki White (Valkoinen viha) from Helsingin Sanomat, ?The US-born Thompson, who has made his home in Helsinki, is heir to the dark, American noir crime novel, and a wretched world view is part of the genre. Did I mention that I write FICTION. C O R D Kari Vaara?s lack of empathy seems to be the most discussed aspect of Helsinki White among your fans. Can you give us an insight on why you wanted your character to go through this? A couple reasons. If you don?t like Nordic noir, don?t read my books. Your short non-?ction piece at the end of the book, talking about ?a new era of racial hatred in Europe,. 2 8 . Nothing will change that..

I write dark Nordic noir. is striking. Kate forces him to think about the differences between their cultures and sometimes explain them to her. I could write a story from the perspective of a nine-year-old, and make readers believe a nine-yearold truly had written it. I don?t want my audience, every year, to think, Oh, there?s a new James Thompson novel out. I won?t The people attacking me would likely be surprised to discover that I agree with them on some issues. that you paint a dark picture of this country. So I wrote the piece, and my publisher applauded the idea. Is there anything else you want to say? It isn?t possible to intuit the beliefs or character of an author from ?ctional writing. Only a fool would believe otherwise. I promise that readers know little or nothing about me or my beliefs, other than that I?m an opponent of racism, based on the piece you mentioned at the end of the book. After a long discussion with a neurologist consultant, I thought this very common side effect would both allow him to return to work quickly, as is often the case, and provide interesting possibilities in the storytelling.

In the interests of mother, child and the family as a whole, a C-section may be recommended in these cases. Doctor Anthony Falconer, President of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in the UK, has written, ?We must remember that caesarean sections are clinically indicated to improve safety and outcome for mothers and babies in well de?ned situations. This means that women who should be having C-sections are not receiving them. On the other hand, C-section rates have been rising in many parts of the world, with many being performed without being medically necessary. In some cases, it is a clear-cut medical decision, but in others there is a strong element of personal choice.. It is important for expectant parents to learn and understand the risks and bene?ts, and weigh them carefully in deciding whether to have one. The Mediterranean countries score highly, with 38.2 per cent in Italy, 34.0 per cent in Portugal and 25.9 per cent in Spain. The reasoning is that severe psychological stress can be very harmful for the mother and lead to problems down the road, notably post-partum depression. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has found that almost half of all births in China are delivered by Csection, with high rates elsewhere in Asia as well. C-sections are also popular in Latin America, with 45.9 per cent of births in Brazil. Iran is another high scorer, with a 41.9 per cent rate in 2008. Rates vary widely across Europe. Recent advances in medical science have made the procedure much safer and for most women the complications of this operation are low.? Rates The number of C-sections done in Finland is relatively low for a country with good access to healthcare. If there is a known risk for complications, an elective C-section may be scheduled. This is done on the grounds of scheduling or to reduce the risk of urinary incontinence. Risks and rewards Performed under proper surgical conditions by a competent obstetrician, the C-section is a relatively safe procedure, with a mortality rate of less than 0.05 per 1,000 in most countries for the mother. The mortality rate for the baby is higher, albeit because many C-sections are performed when there is a problem with the pregnancy or the child?s development. However, even with non-medically indicated C-sections, there is a higher rate of complications than there are with vaginal births, especially if the C-section is performed before the pregnancy is full-term, i.e. 39-40 weeks
We?re not here to judge anyone, our purpose is to support and help these people to start thinking what it means to be a non-smoker, and how they should act when they feel tempted to have a cigarette.

Babies with these symptoms are often unusually tearful, overwrought and restless. For example, in Somalia, the caesarean section is considered a dangerous procedure, and some of the women immigrating and giving birth in a new environment might consider the procedure to be dangerous in Finland as well. This leads them to deliberately restrict their diet, since scarce eating also results in the fetus being smaller than usual. Fear of childbirth as the bottom line A public health nurse from the maternity- and child welfare clinic of Laajasalo health center, Raija Saavalainen-Kourula, emphasises that the main reasons for women smoking during pregnancy are more usually strong addiction and stress-management than the thought of reducing the size of the fetus. Also laboratory and X-ray services are available. Fear of childbirth is considered a valid justi?cation for granting a caesarean section in Finland. Extensive changes for finding solution Maternity- and child welfare clinics offer a wide range of support to pregnant women. For example, the consumption of intoxicants and smoking are discussed right from the ?rst appointment, and from then on clinics try to actively support and encourage the family in improving their life choices for the baby?s health. MEDICAL CENTRE WITH INDIVIDUALIZED SERVICE Our versatile medical centre in southern Helsinki offers you medical services in several care areas. She has, however, heard about the phenomenon through her colleagues. Saavalainen-Kourula also believes mothers prefer to share their views in discussion forums rather than in maternity clinics. Luckily, the phenomenon of women starting to smoke to reduce the baby?s size is only marginal, Gissler and Saav- alainen-Kourula say. It may also cause chronic lack of oxygen, low birth weight and symptoms of withdrawal from nicotine. The in?uence that smoking has on the fetus. size is the same as giving birth only one week earlier than the expected date of delivery. However, the work of maternity clinics is still vital, especially due to the increasing fear of childbirth, which is the ultimate reason for the phenomenon. ?Maternity clinics should prepare themselves to confront cases like these. The risk of allergies, asthma and respiratory tract infections also increases due to smoking during pregnancy.

Pregnant women take drastic measures to ease childbirth Finnish health officials have encountered cases of women who have deliberately started smoking after getting pregnant. ANNI RAJASTO HELSINKI TIMES MIKA GISSLER, reproductive health statician from the National Institute of Health and Welfare, has encountered two different phenomena concerning pregnant women consciously trying to reduce the size of their fetus in order to ease labour.

14 NOVEMBER 2012 HELSINKI TIMES L E H T I K U VA / J U S S I N U K A R I after that the increase has reportedly been relatively steady. ?The increase in sperm donation has most likely been in?uenced by the fact that it has been some years since the legislation came into effect, and its implications and the procedures it necessitates have become clari?ed both to clinics and donors,? says Anna Heino from THL. ?As the procedures and legal requirements have become clearer, this certainly in?uences what kind of counseling and information the clinics are able to give to possible donors,. This may have also contributed to the increase in the number of Finnish donors. Impregnation of a fertile egg with sperm from a donator.. Donors must accept the registration of their personal information in the donation register that is maintained by VALVIRA, the National Supervisory Authority for Welfare and Health. The majority of induced fertility treatments are performed in the private health sector. While the donor must accept that the child born as a result of this treatment may receive the donor?s information upon request, the donor has no legal obligations towards the child. VALVIRA reported earlier this year that a number of private fertility clinics had begun to recruit sex cell donors through newspaper advertisements and small campaigns. 12 12 HEALTH 8? NOVEMBER 2012 8 14 . In Finland the share of Danish sperm cells varies according to each clinic. According to the study by THL, the number of induced fertility treatments has varied greatly on a yearly basis both before and after the deployment of the law. The law led to a ?uctuation in the number of treatments between 2007 and 2009, but Fertility treatments Danish semen has been utilised in fertility treatments across the globe. she says. A specialist examines a sperm sample under a microscope. Sperm donors increasing Sex cell donors have increased significantly since 2010, reveals a recent study. ANNIK A RAUTAKOURA HELSINKI TIMES ASSISTED fertility treatments with donated sperm have increased notably during the last two years, ac- cording to a study by THL, the Finnish National Institute for Health and Welfare. Over 14,900 fertility treatments were initiated in 2011. The number of treatments with donated sperm has in- creased by 25 per cent, according to the study. Despite the increase in sperm donation, fertility clinics must rely on foreign sperm banks, mostly in Denmark, besides Finnish donors. The law also regulates the use and storing of donated sex cells. In 2010, 95 per cent of all in-vitro fertilisation treatments were performed in private clinics, with only two units operating in the public health sector, according to the report by THL. The requirements for being eligible for sperm donation are strict in Finland, as results of fertility treatments are monitored by THL.

The donations are not compensated, as opposed to Denmark, which may explain the low number of voluntary donors in comparison. One important reason for the relatively low number of Finnish sperm donors and the decrease of donors before the recent increase has been the change in fertility treatment legislation, which came into force in 2007. The new law states that after turning 18, persons born of donated sex cells have the legal right to discover the identity of the donor

Black sausage, lingonberry jam and cold milk: it cannot get any more Finnish than that!. Its black colour may be quite uninviting, and might even provoke apprehension. In reality, after a ?rst encounter with the black sausage, it is likely to become less of an unknown, bizarre black thing, but rather an appetising snack. Black sausage is made by mixing pork, pig?s blood (the source of the black colour), crushed rye and ?our, after which it is stuffed into the intestines of an animal. At the time of its appearance, as early as the 16th century, it was cooked over a small THE BLACK ?re, in a hot cauldron or in an oven. the hardest part is just to muster enough courage in order to try it. It was in fact a Tampere native who, being very well aware of how good it tastes, personally delivered to renowned chef Anthony Bourdain a whole Styrofoam box full of fresh, steaming hot black sausages while he was having a drink at a bar located in downtown Helsinki. For those convinced to do so after reading this article, here is a tip: even though supermarkets provide the easy solution, for an optimal black sausage tasting experience, a visit to Tampere is highly recommended. 14 NOVEMBER 2012 HELSINKI TIMES ROMAN LEGION Finnish foods AT YOUR SERVICE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY CITY IN THE HEART OF THE Club Vatican! 1st year anniversary 19 & 20 October CLUB CLUB EVERY SATURDAY VOODOO ROOM GOLDEN HITS Mustamakkara just as you would purchase it from a kiosk or market stall in Tampere, complete with side portion of lingonberry jam. www.clubvatican.fi The black sausage is the pride of Tampere Mustamakkara warms up market-goers during chilly winter days.

Nowadays, black sausages are usually fried and produced in bulk by companies such as Tapola and Savupojat, or sold fresh at kiosks and marketplaces all around Tampere.

In those days, the BBC radio didn?t play rock and pop music on the airwaves, so many music fans set up their own radios, in boats anchored on international seas and aired the music from there. The film depicts one of those boats and its crew, as the hosts talk dirty and play unlicensed music to Britain.
