Törmänen from the Oulu police department.
He says that during a typical ten-hour shift of a police
patrol, the system records
the number plates of around
2,000 vehicles.
During one shift, the system
typically records around 100150 hits, mainly for cars without a valid road tax or MOT.
Half of the hits are unfounded
while the other half lead to further measures by the police.
One reason for unfounded hits is that the database
is only updated once a week,
during which time the owner
of the vehicle may have taken the car for its annual MOT.
Automatic potential
Until now, police patrols
have run a check on a vehicle?s number plate mainly in
cases when they have had
some reason to suspect that
not everything is in order. To
do this, the police officer has
had to type in the register
number in a computer.
Being automatic, the
number plate recognition
system has potential to spot
a higher number of vehicle
offences than a police patrol
monitoring traffic without
the help of the technology.
?However, we don?t have
time to attend to all the reported hits,. explains Törmänen.
The cameras also record

that has proven useful, according to Törmänen.

The industrial history of
the region, he estimates, may
have spawned a culture of
masculinity and violence. He had an
accomplice, who unfortunately remains at large,. As a result, people
can?t tell what has happened
on their account,. he admits.
According to Lehti, the
heightened incidence of
homicides in Kymenlaakso
and Päijät-Häme is attributable to several factors. It remains unknown why
he was in Kouvola.
Despite his incoherence,
the man admitted to stabbing the woman during the
arrest. he highlights.
Legislatively, referrals
are provided according to
guidelines, underlines Hannu Naukkarinen, the chief
physician at Kymenlaakso
Social and Health Services
(Carea). Korpisammal confirmed a day after the incident.
The stabbing is not the
first unusual violent offence
to have occurred in Kymenlaakso this year. Hyyryläinen points
out that homicides committed
in the region today are usually
linked to social alienation and
substance abuse.
The run-down of the forest industry in south-eastern
Finland has certainly not alleviated the problem of alienation faced in the region.
Ilkka Haapamäki, the
chairperson of the Association for Mental Health in Kouvola, believes the stabbing on
12 August is a manifestation
of a larger problem. including as
much as 6,000-10,000 euros
from individual victims.
?After taking the money,
the perpetrators have recent-
ly deliberately locked the online bank. says Naukkarinen.
Stabbed to death on
a Tuesday afternoon
A middle-aged woman was
stabbed to death in the quiet residential area of Kuusankoski, Kouvola, in the
afternoon of 12 August.
Shortly after the incident, a
20-year-old man from Kotka
was arrested on suspicion of
the homicide.
?We couldn?t get a sensible answer out of the man.
It seems clear that he isn?t in
a sound state of mind,. Risu
concedes.
According to the police,
the perpetrators have recently stopped applying for
loans with the bank details
of their victims and instead
used them primarily for making wire transfers. The offender had been
sighted walking around the
residential area, behaving
erratically and threatening
locals with a knife, before the
fatal stabbing.
The suspect has a history
of assaults and other offences. The incident is being investigated as
a robbery.
Two
of Kymenlaakso as a violent region has
been reinforced by a recent
string of brutal or otherwise
unusual violent offences.
The reputation is built on
long-term statistics.
?The Lahti, Kouvola and
Kotka axis is historically an
area where proportionally many homicides are committed. She was treated at a hospital for the injuries.
Finally, the men snatched a
plastic bag containing shoes,
keys and a bottle of alcohol
from the women. says Risu.
A minimum of 35 people
suspected of involvement in
obtaining loans and making
the wire transfers are suspected of money laundering.
These proxies, the pre-trial investigation suggests, may
have received up to ten per
cent commission for receiving the money in their bank
account and forwarding it to
the main suspect or his accomplice. ?It was great
to see that zero tolerance to
discrimination is not only a
catchphrase,. The boy is
also suspected of stealing a

THE UNRELENTING flow of
phishing attacks has yet to
subdue despite the recent arrest of the suspected mastermind of the attacks, a
23-year-old Finn.
The man and his accomplices are believed to have
obtained well over 500,000

and text messages while
masquerading as collection
agencies, Itella and the Finnish Customs in an attempt to
acquire the online bank credentials of the recipients.
The main suspect was
brought into custody by Estonian law-enforcement officers on an international arrest
warrant in Tallinn roughly

a result, the region continues to stand out in crime statistics in spite of the fact that
its industrial structure has
evolved.

cause of the offences may have

BENEfITS
ArrIvING at any averages in these calculations is prob-
lematic as some asylum seekers find work quickly,
transforming from recipients of benefits into tax payers. North
Karelia is planning an extensive survey to investigate the
possible levels of heavy metals within berries and mushrooms of forests in current or
former vicinities of mines.
The matter has been researched little in Finland,
and mining companies are
not obligated to observe it.
Investigation is deemed important in North Karelia, as
the region has seen plenty
of mining, and because picking berries and mushrooms
is a significant livelihood for
many, in addition to being a
hobby.
The study aims to ensure
that the picked berries and
mushrooms are safe for use.
If heavy metal concentrations are exceeded in certain
areas, safety areas can be
formed, or consumption recommendations for the area?s
berries and mushrooms can
be implemented, as in the
fish-mercury venture carried
out previously in the region.

some never succeed in doing so. In households of one person food loss is about 100

reasons why Finland is taking the lead in privacy, including Nokia?s successes in

Finns adopt and embrace

even the way the education

magic,. Having good
skills in both Finnish and
German will stand job applicants in good stead on the
current labour market, says
Marko Pantermöller, professor of Finnish at Greifswald
University. ?Germans have
noticed that there aren?t as
many learners of German in
Finland as there used to be.?
Interest waning
In Karelia, the number of
people studying Finnish at
university has halved since
its heyday in the early noughties, says Varpu Pöntynen,
Finnish teacher at Petrozavodsk State University.
?The Russian government
has cut the number of free
university places and fewer
schools teach Finnish. I didn?t get
one. HT
A SofT,
gentle language, the
language of Father Christmas. Cerchi says,
pausing to think for a little
while. Other employers include travel and business industries.
?The visibility of the Finnish language benefits the
country on a whole

?When you can?t score it?s important to keep a clean sheet,

Birmingham. I had a feeling this could
be my day.?
He also reserved praise
for his coaching staff. These people
also found it difficult to stick
to their decisions in other areas of their day-to-day lives.
The study could not decisively prove whether lack of
self-discipline was the cause
or consequence of insufficient rest as sleep deprivation
may also lead to difficulties in
self-regulation.
The study was published
in the Journal of Health
Psychology.
J A N I K A A ro . People with low self-regulation skills are more likely
to succumb to the temptation
of slouching on the sofa instead of going for a jog or find
a piece of chocolate cake impossible to resist despite their
decision to eat healthily.
The new study repeats the
earlier research but with a
much larger number of participants, with more than 2,000
volunteers between the ages
of 16 and 93 interviewed. In a recently published study they
interviewed 200 volunteers
on procrastination, self-discipline and general lifestyle.
They found that people who
lacked self-control in general also tended to put off going
to bed at the time they had
planned.
A NEW STUDY
The result did not come as
a total surprise as self-discipline has emerged as an important factor in many other
health-related studies in the
past. Although pollutants are always detrimental,
at times, the therapeutic effect of drugs can be of benefit to fish. I?m not happy

Study: residue of psychoactive
drugs in water also treat perch
A new observation in a recent study shows that exposing fish aged between
three-to-six days to oxazepam for 24 hours reduced the
mortality rate of juvenile fish,
when compared with the control group.
It remains unknown as to
why psychoactive drugs reduce fish mortality. H S
A N N I K A r A U TA Ko U r A . It is possible that since fish exposed
to the drugs explore their
surroundings more boldly,
they find more nutrition, and
thus they fare better.
Yet the results, yielded in
controlled circumstances of a
laboratory, do not reveal much
about the effects of drug residue on natural populations.

has looked at
a common, but often overlooked, reason behind sleep

The results
showed that people fail to get
a good night?s rest simply because they keep putting off
going to bed, a phenomenon
the researchers dubbed bedtime procrastination.
The researchers were particularly interested in the
psychological profile behind
bedtime
procrastination.
Why do people not have an

Remove from the heat; stir in the cheese and butter until

interests tourists beyond the

?It would be good if the
airport had restaurants that
offer Finnish food. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the polenta is cooking, make the topping: Mince the
garlic. The strawberry seeds feel great in the
mouth. For example, although it passed the taste test,
the Brämhults 3.8 deciliter
smoothie bottle contained approximately 40 grams of sugar.
?It sails clearly above
the recommended daily
amounts?, says nutritional expert Patrik Borg. Cover and cook for 20 minutes; the polenta
should be loose, barely holding its shape. Gradually add the cornmeal, all the while stirring back
and forth with a wooden spoon or flexible spatula. The mixture will start to bubble; this should take a little more than 1
minute. Reduce the heat to low and cover.
After 5 minutes, whisk the polenta to smooth out any
lumps that may have formed, making sure to scrape down the
sides of the pan. Just remember to pack the cornmeal/polenta and pine nuts.
This recipe uses a good trick: The bit of baking soda helps
to soften the cornmeal?s endosperm, and that cuts the cooking time.
Serve with a dry white wine.

from the editors of America?s Test Kitchen (ATK, 2014).
Ingredients
? For the polenta
? 3¼ cups water
? ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
? Small pinch baking soda
? ¾ cup coarsely ground cornmeal/grits (polenta)
? ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus more for
serving
? 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
? Freshly ground black pepper
? For the topping
? 2 cloves garlic
? ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
? 8 ounces broccoli rabe
? 2 tablespoons pine nuts
? 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
? ¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
? Kosher salt
? 2 or 3 tablespoons no-salt-added chicken broth
Steps
For the polenta: Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. The
smoothies tested by Helsingin

The gags fall as often as
they stick, as events plough
along towards an inevitable
ending set at Spring Break.
Such is the pace of the film
that there is little time out
on offer to reflect on the absurdity of the film as a whole.
However, it?s hard to fault
a film that throws in a nice tip
of the hat to Benny Hill, and
a final credits sequence that
perhaps provide the biggest
laughs of the film, packed
with cameos galore.
Elsewhere on screens
Robert Rodriguez teams up with Frank miller to take punters for a second trip into the world of Sin City, after the pitch
black noir that was the first installment in 2005. CULTURE

newcomers including joseph gordon levitt and jaime King.
just in case Hollywood appeared completely out of ideas,
along comes michael Bay and a reboot of the teenage mutant Ninja turtles franchise. When
their department is relocated across the road to 22

ity of cinematic follow-ups.
While it does raise more than a
few chuckles, this sequel never quite reaches the amusing
heights of the earlier film.
The unlikely team of Hill
and Tatum once again make a
winning combination, taking
their basic cues from comedies of the ?80s and instilling
in them a fresh approach.
With serious thespian Hill
(he is now a two-time Oscar nominee) willing to make
room for Tatum?s comedic
talents, the filmmakers wisely sit back to enjoy the foolishness that Tatum brings
with relish. Elsewhere, Peter Stormare is a welcome
addition to the cast as chief
bad guy, yet unfortunately
the Swedish cult actor is left
with some limp one-liners
and very little else to do beside hone his accent.
Thankfully, Ice Cube is
given more screen time for
this outing, along with plenty
of references to his gangsta
rap past, for those who remember his danger-courting
days as a member of N.W.A.
He is not the only one to enjoy
a return, with a number of familiar faces taking a bow.
Interestingly, the film
comes from the directors of
The Lego Movie, Phil Lord and
Christopher Miller, who follow on from the rousing success of their animated flick
with another box office success . one that reeks heavily of former glories. Acting
as a global meeting point for
both audiences and artists
alike, the plays are performed
in their original language
and subtitled in Finnish and
English.
The variety on offer at the
festival has included after-performance talks, concerts and
panel discussions. Once again

However, somehow making a well-worn idea work
and raising more than a few
smiles, 22 Jump Street provides surprisingly entertaining viewing. The first
installment was a classic in
meta-filmmaking, unexpected in its hilarity at times, in
stark contrast to a base premise that at first glance raised a

My current
challenge is to mentally prepare myself for the futurewinter is coming. and the fact that you
can't get a glass of wine for
under 5e! (University life, you
have absolutely spoiled me.)
We also need to adjust to some
Finnish ways: even meeting
friends is as precise as the bus
schedules themselves. It's also material: it's where you park

your bike and hang your hat
for the night. But maybe that's my
opinion . But
that won't stop me . It just doesn't feel like
home . As a foreigner, I can
still make this my home.
Living abroad on my own
has in some respects prepared
me for moving to Helsinki. There are
also things that I need to
get used to here. With an ever more
globalised world, with the
ease not only to travel but
to work in different countries, it seems like home has
become an ever more fleeting term and has begun to
change its meaning.
The archaic concept of
home makes me a foreigner
in my own country. because I'm one of
them; one of the infamously
silent Finns.
Not that I'm really silent;
not that I'm even really Finnish, having lived abroad most
of my life. Success of the largest chain
of spas in China, Liangtse, continues in Europe. Hundreds of customers visit our facility in Helsinki each month to receive holistic treatment and relaxing massage.

Alicia Jensen is a Finn, and has just moved back to Helsinki from Aberdeen, Scotland.
Helsinki-bound: Marimekko and villasukat
THERE is something comforting in waiting for a bus
and knowing the minute it
will arrive. It's the only one where you spot visible
woollen socks (worn with
pride all year around) and
for some reason there are al-
ways a couple of people with
dreadlocks. Similarily it's reassuring entering a bus and
knowing the public transport
etiquette and how things
work. Having built a home once
shows that you can do it again.
You may be forever an expat
(even in your home country),
but that doesn't need to be a
negative thing. Visiting in winter is ok
(snow!), but actually living
with the darkness will be a
challenge. Yes, it will take
a while to get used to the food
prices . Bring on the parkas and villasukat!
Rather than symbolising something constant and
somehow self-defining, home
can become a temporary
state of occupation. I've left my life and
friends in the oil capital of
Scotland. It's your corner shop and jogging route;
and it's your friendships and
the people that are part of
your everyday life, and it can
change. 27.08.2014

Grab a copy from your
nearest pick-up point!. But there is something absurdly cheery about
a few of the classic stereotypes (that sometimes hold
very true) and can always be
expected in Finland; consistency in this changing world.
For the last four years my
last connecting flight to Helsinki has always been easy
to recognise, and I've always
felt a little bit of Finland ?
of home- already. or anyone else who ventures in to
Helsinki in pursuit of happiness - from making a home in
this beautiful city.

26.06.2014. It feels as
ominous as if I was a character in the Game of Thrones
and Finland was Winterfell. My mom
laughs and tells me I sound
like I'm stuck in a novel set
in fifteenth century Finland.
Others have asked where I'm
from because of my strange
accent (not Russian; not
Swedish), and I'm just as bewildered at my American accent as they are. CLASSIFIEDS & SERVICES

21 . And let's not forget the Marimekko hipsters!
I've lived abroad for most
of my life, and for the past
four years studied in Scotland, and now I'm moving
to Finland. but
what you make of your own
life at that time. Over the
years I've come to learn that
feeling that it isn't necessarily connected to language or
a cultural identity that connects you to people in geographic proximity . 27 AUGUST 2014
