it remains unclear whether Washington and London?s

ADDING fuel to the dispute
between the US and Pakistan, a Peshawar High Court
declared CIA drone strikes illegal last week, referring to
such attacks in Pakistan as
?war crime(s)?.
The court called for its nation?s ?use of force, if need be?
to prevent further civilian
deaths from US drone strikes.
It also ordered Pakistani delegates at the UN to bring forth
the issue with the Security
Council, where Pakistan is a
non-permanent member.
Chief Justice Dost Muhammad Khan, who presided
over the case, cited a litany of broken international
laws and agreements, called
for the US government to redress Pakistani civilian victims of US drone strikes, and
for Ban Ki-moon to establish
a war crimes tribunal to investigate injustices.
However, despite the ruling, the topic of US drone
strikes was not addressed
by Masood Khan, the permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN, in his recent
statement on counterterror-
ism to the Security Council.

GOOGLE and Aalto University have unveiled plans to help
young companies in the Kotka-Hamina region of southeast Finland. KONE has
done very well in China, for instance, and public groups
invested heavily in events like the Shanghai World Expo in 2010. In
particular, organisers have
mentioned that they hope
to take Startup Sauna to the
region. Just
within the past couple of months Finpro opened a new
support centre in Beijing, and Finnish President Sauli
Niinisto met Chinese President Xi Jinping to talk about
trade and investment.
BUT HITHERTO all this activity has taken place in a rath-
er constrained environment. Working with
the regional development
company Cursor, they plan to
focus speci?cally on assisting the gaming and tourism
industries on the Internet.
?One of the key elements
of the mission of Aalto University is to support competitiveness
throughout
Finland, not just in the capital region,. On the world stage, Finland
is viewed as neutral and non-controversial, which is
an asset we should use. A couple of years ago the Helsingin Sanomat
ran a story suggesting the Futuvision operations in
Tampere were basically a Chinese government propaganda tool. Although precise details
haven?t been released, Chinese of?cials say the plan
will give their citizens more power to invest overseas.
FINLAND could use some of that money. In that programme,
entrepreneurs at young companies get coached by experienced business leaders and
investors during an intense
month of programs.
In addition, the partnership will strengthen the
Venture Gym acceleration
programme for the Playa
Game Industry Hub and the
Kaakko135 travel and tourism initiative. However, according to
Aalto the major cities of the

investment in Finland was basically zero from 2008 ?
2011, and has been negative since the summer of 2012,
which isn?t a good thing. says Google?s Finland Country Manager Anni
Ronkainen. explains Hannu Seristö, Vice President at
Aalto. ?We believe that by cooperating with leading companies, like Google, we can
help make a positive impact
on job creation and growth in
regions like Kotka-Hamina.?
Google?s investment
Google came to Finland
amidst great excitement in
March 2009. China has invested in Finland, too. China is not a free
and open country by Western standards, and there
has been some controversy over Chinese activities
abroad. In fact, Boston Consulting found Finland
ranked 17 out of 20 in Internet engagement.
Organisers
hope
to
change this, and help companies in the region extract extra value out of the Internet
and entrepreneurship.
The Kymenlaakso region
has an overall unemployment
rate of 8.2 per cent, less than
the national average of 9 per
cent. This would make it
easier for foreigners to invest in China, and for Chinese to invest overseas. ?Our consumers
are already online but many
businesses are not and we
need to help them to take the
most out of the Internet.?

and hard to make Finland the gateway between the Far
East and Europe, and hopefully China agrees with their
assertion.
FOR US to successfully woo Chinese investors, a change
of tactics might be required. We have focused our relationship-building on public organisations, as was
necessary, but now private individuals will be able to
invest in Finland.
Google's investments into the Kotka-Hamina region are expected to provide work for approximately 500 engineers and construction
workers in the future.

Value of the Internet
Aalto points to a 2011 McKinsey study which found the
Internet economy accounts
for more than a ?fth of the
economic growth in mature
markets such as Finland, and
that about 75 per cent of the
value is created in industries
outside of high-technology.
Although Finland prides itself on its technological capabilities, Finnish businesses
actually use the Internet less
than companies in other developed nations. This is a great opportunity for
Finland.

Whereas gluten-free diets call for the exclusion of

An analysis published in the

the overall risk of cancer.
A team, that included researchers from the Finnish Institute of Occupational
Health (Työterveyslaitos) and
University College London,
conducted a meta-analysis

Metabolism, however ?exible, can only change so

the conclusion that a highprotein diet could offer some
weight loss advantage, thus
suggesting that there is no
absolute truth on the subject. "During a typical working

Although everyone should try to offset work-related stress with

Worker housing
museum presents
working class
lifestyle of the
twentieth century.
BANAFSHEH R ANJI
HEL SINKI TIMES
During Cleaning Day everyone can contribute to recycling by selling unused products.
housing museum, located in Kirstinkuja,
presents a fascinating story
about Finnish everyday life
in the past. The museum is
located in the oldest apartments built by the city for its
own workers in Helsinki.
In the beginning of the
twentieth century, four
wooden houses were built on
Kirstinkuja, formerly Kristiinankatu, for the city?s own
workers in order to improve
the poor living conditions of
the working class.
The small apartments
were equipped with conveniences, including running
water and a drain. Electric lighting was installed in 1918.
The one-room apartments, so called stove rooms,
have been furnished and decorated as homes of people
that lived in the house in different times.
Wooden houses in the Kallio area started to disappear
from the 1950s onwards. There is also a
new cellar exhibition and a
stove room from the 1970s,
where you can make yourself
at home for a moment and
where touching the exhibits
is allowed.
The houses were built in order to improve poor the living conditions of the working class.

In 1986, the buildings became
protected by the city.
The ?xed furnishings of
the rooms were supplemented by old items of furniture
recovered from the other
buildings on the block. The
apartments on Kirstinkatu
were condemned in 1966 and
left to deteriorate.
The buildings were protected in the city plan in
1986. Seppälä
adds.
The Cleaning Day coordinating team advises participants to remember to
respect other people, and to
follow the guidelines and security directions of each municipality when choosing
their sales location. ?Sellers can be creative on how
they put up their spot and
how they market it,. ?Other
cities have taken up the same
agreement too.?
Other recommendations
include the use of fair pricing, selling things that are in
good condition, having plenty of change and protections
in case of bad weather conditions, like big waste bags to
cover the items, just like in a
regular ?ea market.
When the end of the day
approaches, and it looks as if
there are still items left unsold, vendors should consider giving them away for free,
as one of the purposes of Siivouspäivä is to clean up the
house by getting rid of needless things. Anywhere is a good
®
place to sell: at home, on the
street, backyards, of?ces
and even sports ?elds. For a day, Helsinki became a big ?ea market.
?It all started when I was
talking with some friends
about the way, in places
like Amsterdam and Berlin, there?re regular garbage days, in which people
can drop their things on the
street and then municipalities take care of those,. In Helsinki, vendors can place their
spots on publicly owned areas like sidewalks, squares
and parks, as long as they
abide by the guidelines of the
Public Works Department.
?The Public Works Department in Helsinki has agreed
that as long as people mark
their spots on the map, they
don?t need to ask for the

Being a vendor for a day
Anyone, with the exception
of professional secondhand
sellers or those selling new
products, can participate as
a seller on Siivouspäivä: individuals or groups, associations and organisations such
as sport clubs and NGOs.
Businesses are also welcome
to sell old items from the
company or its employees.
To join the event and announce the sales spot, aspiring vendors can sign up
at siivouspaiva.com, where
the exact location of their
?shops. Around the world there
are plenty of initiatives to improve the environment by, for
example, cleaning coasts from
garbage, but Siivouspäivä represents a different way of contributing to a good cause.
In fact, on Siivouspäivä,
recycling is put into action
by transforming neighbourhoods into big secondhand
markets, where people can
put unused goods into the
hands of others who will actually use them.
Because of the success of
the 2012 edition, Cleaning
Day has managed to gain the
support of several major recycling and disposal organisations of the capital region,
like Kierrätyskeskus, Stena
Technoworld Oy & Stena Recycling Oy, Fida, UFF and
Kontti Gambiaan! (Container
to Gambia!). The apartments also had a pantry with
a window and an attic cupboard. During the
event, everyone can contribute to recycling by selling unused products.
The ?rst edition of Cleaning Day took place on 12 May
last year, when hundreds of
Finns took to the streets, parks
and yards to sell their unused
things. Since sellers
themselves are responsible
for clearing away their remaining products, it is recommended to bring only
things that vendors are ready
to carry off, if necessary.
All in all, Cleaning Day is
an opportunity to experience the excitement of being
a seller for a day and being
part of a responsible urban
community that cares about
recycling. The
museum was opened to the
public in 1989.
During the renovation
of 2007-2009, the building
received maintenance, its
facades and roof were painted, the windows were ?xed
and painted, and some surfaces were wallpapered and
restored.
The biggest changes were
made in the customer service area and the introduction area. Three of the buildings
were renovated as modern
apartments, and one of them
was turned into the Worker Housing Museum by the
City Museum. Every apartment had
its own dry toilet in the cellar. explains Pauliina Seppälä,
who came up with the idea.
?Siivouspäivä is a fun way
to deal with the over?ow of
SIIVOUSPÄIVÄ
stuff we have these days and
to make recycling, secondhand shopping and selling
nicer and more convenient.?
Recycling above all
While anyone can make a bit
of money by setting up their
own selling spot, the main
aims of the event are recycling
and the creation of a dynamic and responsible urban culture. The one-storey
building has six stairways,
each with two one-room
apartments equipped with
kitchen ranges.
