he says.
The shift in the public opinion
is a consequence of the conflict in
Ukraine and the numerous statements of President Sauli Niinistö
and Erkki Tuomioja (SDP), the Minister for Foreign Affairs, for developing
defence co-operation within the EU.
Aaltola nevertheless views that
the co-operation is unlikely to increase in the years to come, with
large EU member states reluctant to
install a structure overlapping with
Nato. Hix told
Helsingin Sanomat last Thursday.
Katainen, he explains, is a strong
compromise candidate in a scenario where the European People?s Party (EPP) becomes the largest bloc
in the European Parliament in Sunday?s elections but there is no outright winner.
In fact, had his willingness to relinquish the office of the Prime Minister of Finland been recognised
within the EPP earlier, Katainen
could have led the pan-European
centre-right alliance into the elections, Hix believes.. And so are summer festivals!

It is expected that

in the forthcoming European elections. It is well

This article is based on a speech by Minister Pär Stenbäck in Barcelona in March this year to a
conference attended by Language Commissioners and experts from different countries. Immersion is a
great way to learn a new language, but minority children
should not be used as guinea
pigs in that process.
look outside Europe,
we find very few examples
of commendable systems
fully respecting the minority and multi-lingual dimension. I will not dwell on the
rich flora of conventions, declarations and charters that are
supposed to regulate and protect these rights. Never has the push towards the global use of a few
languages been so strong, but
never before has there been
so much evidence that without a language of your own,
you cannot express your cultural identity or define yourself as a human being.
Which languages will survive
in this global evolution. The
destruction of a language
can also take place through a
seemingly positive process of
integration, transforming into assimilation, by elevating
bilingualism to a goal of itself,
forgetting that the minority
needs a breathing space of its
own in order to preserve its
capability to stand on its own
feet and develop its specific
identity markers.
Another
Finally, for minorities under
pressure of whatever kind,
own institutions are as important as recognition and
territory. There
is some evidence that a living
language group must contain
a minimum of 100,000 members in order to have a chance
to enrich our cultural and linguistic diversity. You need the double insurance of both recognition
and territory and you need to
look far into the future. What is happening
today is, however, extraordinary. The Ombudsman/
Language Commissioner institution is a Scandinavian
and European export article,
but introducing that institution in a new country presupposes the existence of
elaborate language legislation. Their platform
combines at least three components, anti-EU, anti-immigration and nationalism,
which have no room for minorities of whatever sort.
This is the kind of party we
have in Finland, with some
minor modifications.
The

simple majority in Europe, but

Viewpoints are commentaries written by experts and authorities about specific topics. The minorities have the most receptive
feelers or tentacles, first experiencing shifts in society
moods. There
are about 6,000 spoken languages on the globe, but approximately 52 per cent of
these are spoken by less than
10,000 people, 28 per cent
by less than 1,000 and 10 per
cent by less than 100 people. The right to a
language of your own has not
been declared an inherent part
of the human rights doctrine
and there is no globally binding doctrine which would be
the Magna Charta of the multitude of lesser spoken or minority languages of the world.
Linguistic diversity is not
popular, not even in the European Union with its 24 officially recognised languages.
A recent example: When the
new Erasmus+program was
published late last year, we,
the citizens, were told that
there will be more funds
available for language training, but the allocations will
henceforth be focused on the
five most popular languages
among students, namely English, French, German, Spanish
and Italian! The sad explanation seems to be: in the orig-
prets regional and minority
languages as a divisive factor, the other believes linguistic diversity enriches our
societies and cultures.
Finland is a country in
which the relations between
the minority and the majority language have been written into the constitution as
two equal national languages, and in an international
treaty for an autonomous area, the Åland Islands. Research shows that the majority of children gain more from
mixed classes. The opinions expressed in this section are the writers. Among institutions,
schools with instruction in
the mother tongue are the
backbone of every language
minority. Some
researchers and language
specialists have even promoted Finland as a role model when it comes to tolerance
between language groups.
every multilingual
country has a history that
promotes the recognition
of a minority language as
an equal national language.
The Swedish-Finns achieved
recognition, but only partly the other pre-condition
for its survival, a territory.
On the local level, the new
republic created two categories of municipalities, mono-lingual and bi-lingual. I believe that minorities and their institutions must
be vigilant and create alliances
with those progressive forces
which are aware of the historic
burden of Europe. You can submit your articles to viewpoint@helsinkitimes.fi. As one Russian

contrary. I can see a huge market
for information, dissemination and cooperation worldwide around these issues
and I hope that European institutions and their oversea
friends could establish modalities and programs to that
end. I cannot emphasise enough the importance
of education for the survival
and the intellectual equality.
Discussions about bilingual
schools are ongoing in Finland, but such experiments
should be accepted only with
guarantees that the smaller group is not sacrificing
its identity in order to learn
the majority language. Recognition today demands vigilance, flexibility and good
institutions to meet the challenges facing every minority.

VIEWPOINT
22 . Canada is one, South
Africa another and recent
changes in Bolivia are aiming
at elevating the indigenous
languages to their rightful
place in the nation, to mention a few. The majority population will never easily or fully understand the thinking,
attitudes and aspirations
of a minority. Articles should be at least 5,000 characters-with-spaces long
(maximum length 10,000). A census every tenth
year decides the balance.
Today, the municipalities of
the 1920s are under threat of
extinction when global economics seem to demand larger units and less respect for
historic boundaries and ethnic sensitivities. Also, the whole demographic
map of Finland changed when
more than a million people
from the north and the east
moved to the urban region in
and around the capital, traditionally a Swedish-speaking
area. The academic community is rich with knowledge
about minority language issues and is able to contribute.
If we. At the same
time, immigration changes
the demographic picture and
it is a well-known fact that
immigrants are pushed to
learn the majority language
and bypass the minority. Instinctively, many feel that the minority endeavor to preserve its
language reflects a lack of
acceptance of the majority language. But there
are two other preconditions
for survival: these speakers
of a small, in most cases a minority language, need a territory where to exert their right
to use their language and they
need recognition of that right.
Is the right to use your own
language, regardless of its
size in relation to other languages, a recognised reality
today. Perhaps the Swedishspeakers of the 1920s made a
mistake by not asking for territorial-based linguistic autonomy for the areas where
they formed a majority at that
time. The answer is both yes
and no
In Norway, for example, student financial aid
is essentially a loan-based
programme, 40 per cent of
which can be written off on
the basis of study progress
and graduation.
Iceland similarly has a
loan-based student financial
aid programme.
Repayment obligation
A comparison of student allowances without a repayment obligation portrays
an altogether different picture, with Finland claiming
the second spot alongside
the Norwegian students who
successfully write off 40 per
cent of their student loans.
The price level in Norway,
however, is substantially
higher than in Finland.
In Denmark, students
who do not live with their
parent are eligible for 800
euros in non-repayable financial aid per month.
In addition, the survey
shows that Finnish students
are more wary of applying for
student loans than their Nordic counterparts, borrowing
an average of 7,500 euros for
the successful completion of
a university degree. In Norway and Iceland, students
borrow four times as much ?
roughly 30,000 euros.
Despite the differences, working during studies is common in all Nordic
countries.
Finnish students are allowed to earn a maximum of
12,000 euros per annum in
order to remain eligible for
financial aid for the full nine
months. Similarly, the income limits of Finnish students are lower than those of
their Nordic counterparts.
Altogether, full-time students of higher education institutions in Finland are eligible
for approximately 800 euros in
financial aid per month.
Meanwhile, students in
Norway are eligible for roughly 1,200 euros and students
in other Nordic countries for
a maximum of 1,000-to-1,150
euros per month in financial
aid, indicates a survey of Nordic student aid schemes conducted by Kela.
The student financial aid
available in each country has
been calculated by adding up
student allowances and maximum allowable student loan
amounts. The income limit for
recipients of student financial aid is only lower in Iceland, the survey shows.
In other Nordic countries,
students are allowed to earn
16,500-19,500 euros per annum without any effect on
their eligibility for financial aid.
The amount of financial
aid and loan Finnish students
are eligible for will increase
by a maximum of 135 euros
per month at the beginning
of August. DOMESTIC

of the trial, revealed that police would conduct a further
investigation due to ?the production of new evidence?.
She, however, refrained from
elaborating on whether the
new evidence had been produced by the prosecutor or by
the defendants.
A TOTAL of 12 social welfare
and health care officials are
suspected of violating their
official duties in the case of
an 8-year-old girl who was
murdered by her father and
stepmother in Helsinki in the
spring of 2012.
The number of officials
suspected has increased
from an initial three following the completion of a further investigation into the
measures taken in the case
by health care officials.
?The suspects are people
who the child met or who took
part in looking after her matters,. ?Walking around
Helsinki, you see illegal excavations all the time,. In addition, the ministry unveiled a wealth of proposals for legislative changes
and other revisions.
The proposals would, for
example, oblige teachers and
other people working with
children to notify the police
of certain signs of abuse.
?To generalise broadly,
the situation today is that
the reporting obligation only concerns suspected sexual abuse. The workers were buried under a pile
of soil after the sides of a
three-metre deep excavation
collapsed on 9 May.
The charges tentatively considered include work
safety offence, reveals Nina Kangas, a chief inspector
at the Police Department of
Länsi-Uusimaa.
The objective of the investigation is to determine the
sequence of events, the possible cause of the accident and
its consequences. Mäkeläinen says.
The father and stepmother of the young girl were sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder last autumn.

TO RECAP, in the last column I used Piketty?s methods

income and capital gains. According to

Finnwatch, a non-governmental corporate responsibility watchdog.
Although most of the

have also made direct investments in such jurisdictions.
As a result, Finnish pension assets have been invested in companies accused

return on capital is falling back towards its long-term
average of 5-6%. share of all income has barely changed since the
end of the Winter War. ?The growth of
the game sector has been
enormous.?
The economic survey examines the performance of
private service providers
outside the retail, accommodation, restaurant, education
and health care sectors.
The net sales and output
of the service sector are not
expected to improve substantially from the levels of
last year, although the outlook for future sales has
brightened virtually across
key sectors.
In the first quarter, the net
sales of the transportation
and logistics sector fell from
the previous year, while the
net sales of providers of administrative and support services remained near last year?s
levels. The period from the mid-1990s to the
mid-2000s was an abnormally good time.
PIKETTY predicts a slower rate of growth for the econo-

return on capital is about 5.5%, but the growth rate of
the economy is much lower, about 1.5%. that inequality which doesn?t show up in official statistics . Exactly how much money Finland

The game sector continued its steadfast growth between January and March.
The first three months of
the year were kinder to the
service sector than the last
three months of the previous
year, indicates an economic
survey published by the Service Sector Employers (PALTA) on Tuesday.
The net sales of independent service providers
increased by approximately two per cent and output
by one per cent year-on-year
between January and March.
Meanwhile, the number of
people employed in the sector remained close to the levels of last year.
Over half of the net sales
of private service providers,
however, was accounted for
by the information technology segment.
?Effectively, it was the

22 . The
exception was found in Arab
countries where ADL found a
high degree of correlation in
negative views of both Jews
and Israel, ranging from 75
per cent to over 90 per cent.
In the Netherlands, where
only five per cent of respondents were found to hold antiSemitic views (second only
to Sweden as the least antiJewish country in Western
Europe), for example, a 43
plurality per cent said they
held negative views of Israel.
In Sweden, it was 33 per cent.
The survey?s core was
based on whether or not respondents agreed with 11
statements, which ADL considers ?anti-Semitic stereotypes?. If respondents agreed
with six or more, they were
considered anti-Jewish.
The statements included:
?Jews are more loyal to Israel
than to (the country in which
they live)?; ?have too much
power. Kassenova said. or the US government; ?don?t care about what
happens to anyone but their
own kind;. And of the
26 per cent who said they believe at least six of the negative statements about Jews
to be ?probably true?, 70 per
cent said they had never actually met a Jewish person.
Some critics of ADL,
which has also been a relentless defender of Israel, have
argued that the organisation
has a vested interest in exaggerating the pervasiveness
of anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial. in the business world,
international financial markets, or the global media or
?too much control over global affairs. and
?People hate Jews because of
the way Jews behave.?
More than four in 10 respondents (41 per cent)
worldwide agreed with the
statement that Jews are more
loyal to Israel than their own
country. Knowledge about it
was highest in Western Europe (94 per cent), Oceania,
and the Americas, and lowest
in sub-Saharan Africa (24 per
cent) and MENA (38 per cent).
Among those respondents
who said they had heard about
the Holocaust, however, 32
per cent said they believed it
was either a myth or had been
greatly exaggerated. Following the success of the Euromaidan movement in Kyiv,
Putin has made it a priority to
shore up support among other
formerly Soviet states for Russia?s geopolitical agenda, in
particular the establishment
of a regional economic union
as a precursor to a wider political union of Eurasian states.
A treaty on the formation
of a Eurasian Economic Un-
ion (EEU) is due to be signed
in Astana in late May, paving
the way for its launch in January 2015. ?Now it?s seen

its neighbours. ?think they are
better than other people?;
?talk too much about what
happened to them in the Holocaust;. and only 48 per cent of respondents under 35 . but his spokeswoman denied the claim. she added.
?Both invested a lot of personal image capital into it.?
Alex Nice, a regional analyst at the London-based Economist Intelligence Unit, also
feels that integration plans are
more or less on track.
?It?s possible there might
be a further delay to the final signing of the document,
but I?m confident that the
treaty will come into force as
planned next January,. Otorbayev
had, on the contrary, said Kyrgyzstan would complete the
legislative groundwork to join
by the end of the year, Gulnura
Toraliyeva told EurasiaNet.org
by telephone.
Perhaps the biggest
threat to the EEU?s success is
Russia?s actions in Ukraine,
suggests Kassenova.
?The Ukraine crisis undermined Russian policy in
the post-Soviet space,. In the
MENA region, that per centage rose to 63 per cent.
Interestingly, in Western
Europe and the Americas, the
second-most common negative statement about Jews
was that they ?still talk too
much about what happened
to them in the Holocaust.?
Nearly three out of four of
all respondents (74 per cent)
said they had never met a
Jewish person. Nargis
Kassenova, director of the
Central Asian Studies Center
at Almaty?s KIMEP University, told EurasiaNet.org.

some extent that of Nursultan Nazarbayev,. commitment to Kazakhstan and Central Asia,
the State Department said, as
the Ukraine crisis helps ?underscore what?s at stake.?
Regional analysts tend to
believe that the recent signs
are not indicators of insurmountable problems surrounding the EEU?s formation.

these days, but it seems to me
that the treaty will be signed
. But Foxman
denied this during Tuesday,
insisting that the survey?s intent was ?to document empirically how things actually

VICTORY Day on 9 May was an
occasion for Russians to indulge in patriotic flag waving
in Moscow. but
some observers interpreted
his no-show as a snub to Putin
from one of his closest allies.
As other regional leaders
were cosying up to the Kremlin, Nazarbayev was having
a tête à tête in Astana with a
senior official from the United States, Moscow?s arch-rival in the geopolitical struggle
over Ukraine. for him: Nazarbayev
first proposed the notion of
a Eurasian union long before
Putin took it up, and sees himself as ?the father of the idea.?
Speculation that the union
might be heading off the rails
was fueled by reports on 7 May
that Kyrgyzstan?s prime minister, Joomart Otorbayev, wished
to postpone membership for
a year . she
continued. In Turkey, 69 per cent
of respondents fell into that
category.
And while 80 per cent of
Iranian respondents said they
held unfavourable views of
Israel, which has repeatedly
threatened to attack Iran?s nuclear facilities, a 43 per cent
plurality said Israel?s actions
exerted only a minor influence
or no influence at all on their
attitudes towards Jews.
Indeed, one of the survey?s
key findings was that attitudes towards Jews and Israel did not often correlate. less even than
neighbouring Turkey, which
has the largest Jewish population in the region outside
Israel.
Fifty-six per cent of Iranian respondents were found
to hold anti-Semitic attitudes. Plus, the crisis undermined the economy
of Russia and made it less capable of serving as the locomotive of integration.?
?On the one hand, the crisis
should give more bargaining
power to Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan,. concurred regional security expert Aida
Abzhaparova of the University of the West of England.
Nazarbayev is a cheerleader
for integration, she pointed
out, and signing the treaty in

ever, from our findings in
the survey, it is just not clear
whether the Middle East conflict is the cause, or the excuse, for anti-Semitism.?
While Muslims tended to
hold more anti-Jewish views
than respondents from other major religions, regional
location appeared to be the
strongest factor in determining attitudes toward Jews.
Thus, 75 per cent of Muslim respondents from MENA
were deemed anti-Semitic,
only 37 per cent of Muslims
in Asia and 18 per cent in subSaharan Africa held at least
six of the 11 stereotypes.
Among Christians, 64
per cent in the MENA region
were considered anti-Semitic; 35 per cent in Eastern Europe, and 19 per cent in the
Americas.
The survey found that
older people were substantially more likely than
younger respondents to hold
anti-Semitic views; that the
more familiarity with Jews
respondents had, the less anti-Jewish they tended to be;
and that respondents with
Russia?s President Vladimir Putin (L) and Prime Minister Dmitry
Medvedev (2nd L) attend a Victory Day parade at the Red Square
in Moscow on 9 May.. More than
half (53 per cent) of East Europeans agreed with that view.
?It is evident that the Middle East conflict matters with
regard to anti-Semitism,?
noted Abe Foxman, the longtime ADL president. except in
the MENA region where the
more educated respondents
were more likely to hold antiSemitic views than their less
educated counterparts.
One particularly alarming
finding for the ADL was the
lack of awareness of the Nazi
Holocaust which killed some
six million mostly European
Jews and which played a key
role in rallying European and
American support for the
creation of Israel.
Just over half (54 per cent)

The Moscow meeting came
on the heels of a disastrous
Customs Union summit in
Minsk on 29 April, where expectations of finalising the
treaty fizzled as Putin and
his counterparts, Alexander
Lukashenko of Belarus and
Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, admitted that, at
this late stage, they have differences over the pact?s wording.
Nazarbayev?s conspicuous
absence from the 8 May talks
in Moscow, convened under
the auspices of the Collective
Security Treaty Organisation,
set tongues wagging about
differences of opinion. In Eastern Europe,
34 per cent of respondents
were found to hold anti-Jewish sentiments.
At the other end of the
spectrum, only 14 per cent of
respondents from Oceania,
which includes Australia and
New Zealand, were found to
ANTI-JEWISH
hold anti-Semitic views, as
did 19 per cent of interviewees in the Americas.
Within the MENA region,
Iran, whose leadership has
long been accused by Israel and many Jewish organisations here, including ADL,
of harbouring genocidal aims
against Jews, was found to
have the least anti-Semitic
population . Armenia and Kyrgyzstan are slated
to join the Customs Union before the end of the year.
As Putin warmly welcomed
existing and potential union
members in Moscow on 8 May,
ostensibly for security talks
unrelated to the economic integration project, the question
on the lips of Kremlin watchers was: will they or won?t they
put pen to paper on the EEU
founding document in less
than three weeks. ?How-

attitudes are
found most frequently in Arab countries but persist in
much of the rest of the world,
especially in Eastern Europe
where most Jews were wiped
out during the Nazi Holocaust in World War II, according to a global survey by the
New York-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The Global100 survey,
which was based on interviews with more than 53,000
respondents in 102 countries
and the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories, found
that 26 per cent of all adult respondents hold anti-Semitic views, which are defined by
the ADL as agreeing with at
least six of 11 negative statements, or common and, in
some cases, age-old stereotypes, about Jews.
In the Middle East and
North Africa (MENA), however, that percentage was nearly three times higher . said they

Recently the patient received surprising news: the
agent of Nexium is the same
as in Losec, which does not
require a prescription. H S
A N N I K A R A U TA KO U R A . Yet
it is not always clear based on
external symptoms, which patients have simply gastric acid
involved with their gastric reflux disease, and which ones
also have bile.
It is problematic that
most patients are treated
with proton-pump inhibitors that are not anti-inflammatory drugs and do not
hinder the rise of bile. Over
time this harms the esophagus mucous membrane, which
results in pain and a burning
sensation. The
patent of omeprazole was
about to expire. This is because
pharmaceutical companies
and doctors are satisfied with
the situation. These isomers are similar, except for the fact that
they are mirror images of
each other, and only one of
them controls the secretion
of gastric acid.
In Nexium?s case all
that was done was that the
Losec?s agent isomer was
used, named as esomeprazole
and turned into a product.
This way the company got a
new patented drug, took it
through the necessary clinical research and named it
Nexium.
There was but one problem. The esophagi of
some people is also filled with
bile from the small intestine
in addition to gastric acid. H T
Doctors favour the costly
drug Nexium for gastric reflux disease. Research groups dedicated to it are hard pressed
to find in universities around
the world. 17.8.2014

3.2. With some, repeated inflammation leads to the
esophagus mucous membrane
becoming similar to the intestinal membrane. This kind of
change is referred to as Barrett?s esophagus, and its transformed mucous membrane is
prone to cancer tumors.
The few studies that have
attempted to unearth the ul-
timate causes of gastric reflux disease indicate a much
more complicated situation.
American researchers determined in 2009 that the
flow of acid into the esophagus causes a strong immunological inflammation long
before damage to the mucous membrane. AstraZeneca prolonged the patent?s expiration through its army of
lawyers, and it paid off. In the clinical research 20 milligrams of
Losec and 40 milligrams of
Nexium were compared.
A round of calls with general practitioners and doctors of internal medicine
reveals that most of them
are familiar with the story
of Nexium, and know that
omeprazole and esomeprazole are practically the same
thing.
If the doctor is aware of
this, what makes them prescribe Nexium for the patient. Its agent is omeprazole, which controls the
secretion of gastric acids.
As gastric reflux disease is
very common, Losec became
a goldmine for the company.
In 2001 the company
faced a major challenge. Why have none of the doctors told her that Losec and
Nexium are the same drug?
Why has she been made to
pay for the more expensive
alternative?

only difference is the price,

The woman was astounded. In

Yet Nexium is Losec with

In second place are transportation expenses, which
families with children use
about 10,000 euros per year
on and single-family households 3,400 euros. One can manage

Extra cash for more
Today, Milla is left with 700800 euros of extra money
every month, because there
is no mortgage, and the
spouse?s work pays for rent.
Money is usually spent, down
to the last cent, on quality food, services and leisure
time activities. The standard
of living can be adjusted according to the situation. The couple was hired as a part-time
caretaker team for the property in a housing company
in Roihuvuori. According to Wilska, the status value of the car
is, however, decreasing as
ecological thinking becomes
more common.
Families with children
spend on the average 7,500
euros per year on food and
those living alone 2,500 euros per year, when restaurant
visits are not counted.
?Since the 1990s, there
has been talk that Finland is
changing to a service society, but the change has been
really slow. The
ones who rent are usually those who cannot afford
their own flat or who have
not settled down. Early
this year, the former passionate shopper began to systematically part with her extra
things and declared a year?s
buying ban for herself regarding clothes.
?I think that it would be
great if all of the necessary
stuff would fit into one backpack and the credit card in
the pocket. However, because of
its geographical position, it
puts particular attention on
northern issues.
?We welcome all those interested in boreal nature,
regardless of the age,. Nowadays, however, this
activity is strictly forbidden.
And for those interested
in invertebrates, the museum presents a collection that
includes specimens of moth,

Milla turns to the credit card.
This is what happened during
the monitoring month because of an exceptional hotel
weekend. adds Mutanen.
?Zoological museums play
an important role in informing people about biodiversity
and how nature functions.?
Unique collections
Overall, the collections of
the Zoological Museum of
the University of Oulu are
comprised of approximately 50,000 vertebrate samples and about two million
invertebrates.
The museum?s vertebrate
collection boasts an internationally renowned selection of skulls, bones and
skins of northern predatory
and small mammals. I?ve
had a middle-income job for
eight years, but because I?ve
been paying for the flat by
myself, we have been tight
economically. No savings were left,
but there was no debt either.
?Since I was a child, I had
been told that decent people must own their own flat.
I had bought the first one
when I was 22 years old. ?At the
moment, bones are the central theme of our temporary
exhibition Bones Tell,. She thought it was
too much for a studio in Helsinki?s Pajamäki suburb.
?My spouse works as a
cook. Then I realised that I didn?t want to owe
money to anyone or be tied to
material things.?
Not the mainstream
Hakkarainen deviates from
the mainstream with her
consumption choices: she
rents, does not own a car and
uses hundreds of euros per
month for services and eating in restaurants.
The majority of Finns
spend most of their money on their own home, exercise, and the grocery store:
because they are mandatory,
but also because they want to
spend on them.
Most of the money is
spent on living: In a family
with two adults and children
about 14,000 euros per year,
and in a single-person household about 7,400 euros.
?Owning their own flat
is important for Finns. The
costs of Milla Hakkarainen?s
owner-occupied flat would
have risen to 900 euros per
month. No referral is required.
Under the same roof you can find a wide range of surgical services in i.a. ?Nature

as well as eastern taiga species like the flying squirrel,
great grey owl and an unusually wide collection of bones
of boreal birds.?
In addition to leaving visitors completely amazed,
the collection of the Zoological Museum of the University of Oulu also serves as a
teaching ground. A 53 metrelong diorama on the gallery
walls provides visitors with
information about the geographical position of Finland
and its varying natural environments, from the Bay of
Finland to the Arctic Ocean.
?Even though the museum
concentrates predominantly
on boreal fauna, the exhibition presents virtually all the
mammals and birds, fishes
and other vertebrate, as well
as invertebrate, that populate Finland,. Wilska says.
Milla, too, used to spend a
lot on clothes and bags. For
the first time in years, Milla
can also afford a hairdresser, cosmetologist and organic cosmetics.
?I enjoy the fact that I can
live like this now. The 680-euro rent for the companyowned flat is deducted from
the caretaker wages of Milla?s spouse.
Their whole housekeeping
and consumption changed in
one go: Hakkarainen sold her
flat and paid off her debts,
credit cards and student
loans. Living in owner-occupied housing was
too expensive. When he had no
work, I paid for everything.?
Then a unique opportunity came about. Money was
tight for a long time, and I?m
not ashamed that I don?t have
to worry about money now.
Life cannot be just about going to work and saving at
home for a rainy day. We offer also surgical, medical
and geriatric ward services, physiotherapy and occupational health.
Do not hesitate to contact us. ?We have hundreds of
thousands of boreal insects,
spiders, mammals and birds,
22 . Now we buy organic and fresh food for the
house or eat out.?
The monitoring month also saw a pampering weekend
at Hotelli Haven in the centre
of Helsinki, dinner in a good
restaurant, evening gatherings with friends, and a few
gigs and theatre visits. If I
have to choose, I can leave
behind evening gatherings
in Helsinki for a year, so that
I can travel abroad during
summer holidays.?

At times, it means that expenses exceed income. In fact, it
represents a rich learning

kindergartens, as well as anyone with an interest in nature and animals.
?It?s very important that
everyone recognises the
importance of the living
environment and rich biodiversity for the existence of
mankind,. H S

22 . The Kings, similarly,
remained on the ice to pay
homage to the now 43-yearold Selänne, a true ambassador for ice hockey.
?It?s a pretty sad feeling right now,. Selänne is still held
in the highest esteem in the
hockey-crazy city where he
began and spent the first
three years of his NHL career.
Or maybe he was thinking
about his favourite goal, lifting a backhand over Dominik
Hasek of the Detroit Red
Wings 11:57 into overtime in
the fifth game of the conference finals in 2007, en route
to his first and only Stanley
Cup title.
Yet, neither statistics
or achievements capture
why this particular athlete
has been remains so popular. not even Selänne, although he did manage to stop
the hands of time for a while.
Selänne only played a limited role in his final season
for the Ducks, despite being named the most valuable
player at the Sochi Olympics.
It was difficult to believe he was indeed the same
winger whose career was rumoured to be over already
in 2004, in the aftermath of
a bad season for the Colorado Avalanche as his left knee
took a toll on his ability to
perform.
The knee was patched
up, however, and the Finnish Flash would remain at the
absolute top for the next ten
years.
?I never expected to have
this kind of career, even in
any of my wildest fantasies.
I?ll live the rest of my life with
great memories,. The 76
goals he scored in his rookie
season in the NHL is a record
that will never be broken.
?Everything great has to
end,. The responsibility lies with both players.?
in the dying moments of
the game, one can only imagine what memories of his
remarkable career came
flooding back to him.
He may have been thinking about a night in Winnipeg
two years ago in December, when a swarm of Winnipeg Jets fans awaited for the
Ducks bus . He
ranks 15th in all-time career
points with 1,457 points and
4th in game-winning goals
with 110 goals. Selänne acknowledged.
?It?s been an unbelievable journey, a long road. Kallio, who began
his race from the fourth grid,
comments in a bulletin.
?The start went well, and I
took the lead but was unable
to pull clear [?]. I don?t remember him
ever being mean to anyone.?

on the NHL web-page.
The legendary number
eight was on the ice for the final minute. I would hate to drop
out of the tournament,. It was partly
due to my stupidity,. said Selänne.
He has been an idol not
only as a player but also as a
human being, his late agent
Don Baizley once characterising him with the following
words: ?He is like an open
book. he said while writing
an autograph to a fan a couple of years ago.
However, the ruthless
passage of time spares no

a bit surprised at how hard he
ran into me. His future is widely expected to lie with the Anaheim Ducks.
?I?m very happy for my
family, because my children
have grown old enough to
understand what this is all
about. I
decided I would ride behind
Corsi, save my tyres and see
what happens.?

career of
Teemu Selänne would have
deserved a more fitting end.
The Los Angeles Kings, however, showed no mercy, trashing the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 in
the seventh and final game of
the play-off series to advance
to the conference finals.
THE ILLUSTRIOUS
Cup winner, a six-time Olympian, the winner of the Calder
Memorial Trophy and the record-holder for the most goals
scored by a rookie. a week earlier at Jerez, Spain.
Ultimately, the win at Le
Mans came with a comfort-
able margin of 1.015 seconds
over Italy?s Simone Corsi.
?An awesome feeling,?
lauded Kallio, who rides for
Marc VDS.
?After the qualifications, I
had a feeling the race would go
well, as we found a better direction in bike settings. And then it was
all over.
At the final buzzer, fans
of both the Anaheim Ducks
and Los Angeles Kings stood
up to salute the most popular
player ever to don the Ducks
jersey. Every morning, I?ve driven here with a
smile on my face, win or lose.?
The night in the Honda
Centre may also have been the
final appearance of another
legend of Finnish ice hockey,
Saku Koivu. With a

MIKA Kallio claimed his second
consecutive Grand Prix win on
Sunday to step up his challenge
for the Moto2 World Championship title, crossing the finish line first at Le Mans, France.
The 31-year-old seasoned Finn
had claimed his previous win ?
the second of his Moto2 career
. I?d like to continue playing, if the doctor gives the permission. Selänne
lauded.
Selänne ultimately had
to face his athletic mortality and will henceforth wake
up knowing that he no longer has to fight to stay at the
top. ?It?s going
to be a lot of happiness later,
but right now this is hard to
swallow. ?It?s great that I was
able to also put some pressure on my teammate, cutting his Grand Prix points
lead to only seven points.?
The teammate of Kallio,
Esteve Rabat, leads the Moto2 championship standings
with 99 points with 13 Grand
Prix races to go.
The Moto2 season will
continue in Mugello, Italy, in
roughly ten days. and Selänne in
particular . Selänne said
in a post-match interview
with the NBCSN. although you can?t exactly
slow down with the guys right
on your tail.?
Kallio with the win also
became the first Finnish motorcycle racer ever to claim
back-to-back Grand Prix victories. ?I just want to get
away from the game for a couple of weeks and really take
a good, careful look at what
happened, how the season
went, and if there?s enough left
to come back and push for another year,. I de-
cided I would try to overtake
him and found a spot where I
was able to pull clear. Corsi soon
overtook me, but I decided to
stay calm and not to panic. Selänne always had time
both for the fans and the
media.
?Believe me, this is the
easiest part of being a hockey
player,. It means the world
to me,. At the
earliest, Jormakka could fea-
ture in Finland?s line-up today, on Thursday, if the team
is able to progress from the
preliminary round.
?I?m still hungry for more
games. Game seven, and we
didn?t show up like that.?
The Finnish Flash wrapped
up his career as the 11th-leading-goal-scorer in the history of the NHL, with a tally of
684 regular season goals. He loves people, and it

Darkish red colour. Lingonberry-type acidity. Sugar affects the
structure of the jam in addition
to its endurance. The first field vegetables
will be ready in early June.
If night frost continues, carrots are the first ones in jeopardy,. the Vietnamese-born Mathi explains.
In addition to weeds, early strawberries have been

long planting time of strawberries indicates a long harvest season.

Meritalo was left unevaluated,

A N N I K A R A U TA KO U R A . It was over
by early July due to the heat
wave of the early summer.
Potato potential
Potato farmers are experiencing exceptional times.
The warm and snowless
winter forced farmers to
do planting early on, and it
spanned far longer than the
regular planting season. Soft and mash-like texture, appears homemade. Rannikko
estimates.
The ultimate length of the
crop season is influenced by
the weather of early summer.
Last year?s harvest season was
particularly short. Do they use a different
variety of strawberry or colourants?. Large, rather hard berries. A few
farmers have reported complete frost damage,. says Antti Lavonen,
Ombudsman for Crop Farming at the Central Union of
Agricultural Producers and
Forest Owners (MTK).
?The potato crop is ready
when seven to eight weeks
have passed since planting.
In theory, potatoes planted
in early March could be ready
for harvest.?
Accurate estimates determine that new potatoes
can be eaten at graduation
parties.
Even though the potato
has a long planting season,
it is uncertain whether the
harvest season will be longer
than usual.
?It remains to be seen, for
the earliest potatoes planted
have grown slowly, and those
planted later have caught up
with them,. Soft texture with whole
berries. Alanne
states.
Alanne grows peas and
broccoli besides strawberries. Picking which one to accompany crêpes makes a difference. Jelly-like texture, but not too firm.
Nice scent. Only strawberry seeds, no whole berries. Both are at a good phase
in their growth process.
?We left a few broccoli rows without a gauze and
rabbits took advantage of the
situation,. Texture firm and jelly-like.
One has to look for the berry. 20

summed up Pauliina Tuloisela,
who was part of the jury.
The daughter of a berry
farmer, who also studies bio
and food sciences, would have
hoped for more of the berry?s
own fresh taste in the jams. This was revealed by
a strawberry jam test in the
food pages of Helsingin Sanomat. Highly sweet
flavour without the freshness. Fine-grained, like mash. Lots of
strawberries. Artificial candy-like flavour.

better absorption of the spices

After it was announced
he would return to the X-Men
series he helped ignite back
in 2000, the fanboy hoots of
approval had just begun to be
replaced by excited industry
talk of a quality instalment
on its way, before allegations
of rape and scandal erupted.
The resultant furor almost derailed the film?s
prospects at the box office.
However, once Singer excused himself from the film?s
promotion rounds, the scandal has gradually faded into
the distance
And so, back to the film
again . Friedemann Vogel
and Rachele Buriassi from
the Stuttgart Ballet will be
performing, as well as Maria
Kochetkova from San Francisco Ballet, Isabelle Ciaravola from Paris Opera Ballet and
former dancers of the Royal
Ballet, artistic directors of the

on the untold story of one of
Disney?s most iconic villains,
from the 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty, Mrs Pitt
the spring season
to a close at Finnish National
Ballet, Artistic Director Kenneth Greve has brought together some of his colleagues
from around the world to
perform for a gala. From director Doug
Liman, who brought us The
Bourne Identity, Mr & Mrs
Smith and Go, things are
looking promising.
While the plot hook seem
to contain more than a whiff
of Source Code and Groundhog Day (minus the laconic
Bill Murray, unfortunately),
here Cruise is joined by the
omnipresent Emily Blunt
and unsung cinematic hero Bill Paxton in an effort to
attract punters with its intriguing mix of players.
Finally, Angelina Jolie
dons some horns and makeup for Maleficent. Held over
successive nights on 23 and

Drawing on major classical
ballets and significant con-
temporary dance works, the
performers hail from around

be the Finns love the Irish or
they are just very open and
jolly people.
Being Irish I am used to
the cold weather i.e. The only
good thing about the weather is that the sun shines more
than it does in Ireland, which
is a big thumbs up from me!
My only flaw is the price of
food and alcohol; it is somewhat in the same pricing
range as Ireland but here a
pint of lager in some pubs or
clubs is 7 euros. The next advantage for the city is how close
everything is to our hotel;
Kampaii and Forum shopping centre are within a two
minute walk, the trams are
spread across evenly along
every street corner. The city
is so well organised it is a joy
to commute to work every
day.
During my time here, I
haven?t met one person who
wasn?t friendly or who didn?t
have a smile on their face.
I feel the people are more
friendly than the Irish, they
just don?t talk as much as us,
which can be a good thing
sometimes. Of course, when
you?re eighteen like myself
and cannot get into certain
clubs, it will put a damper on
your night out.
I have loved living here
in Helsinki even if it was only for two weeks, the beauty
of the city, the warm people
and the cold weather really
did capture me. Even

the night life in Helsinki is
extraordinary, the clubs are
far better than the ones back
in Ireland. ?

Dubliner Amelia Arkins recently completed an internship in Helsinki.
A cultural awakening
I first heard the word
Finland, two things popped
into my head: sub zero
weather and stern people.
Well, I was wrong; the way
people in Ireland described
the Finnish made me so nervous about coming over, but
overall the Finns are very
pleasant and approachable.
Now the weather, that?s a different story! It?s only slightly
colder than Ireland in the day
but at night it feels like its -10
degrees.
Helsinki is a beautiful
city; I personally feel it would
put Dublin to shame as it is
so clean and the architecture
is simply marvelous. 28 MAY 2014
