IN MAY
IN 2004, the First Committee of the UN GA voted on a
resolution calling for negotiations on a treaty banning
the production of ?ssile material for nuclear weapons.
Such a treaty would consid-
erably limit the construction
of new nuclear weapons and
alleviate the growing threat
of nuclear war. that is, Iran?s ability
to deter the US in its reliance
on military force in controlling the region.
ACCORDING to the Middle
East specialist and former
correspondent for The Observer, Patrick Seale, Israel
also ?wants the freedom to
hit Iran and any other country that dares raise its head,
without the risk of being hit
back?. that
?wants to dominate the
world?, ?annihilate the Jews?
and ?annihilate America?.
The US and Israel have repeatedly threatened Tehran
with a military assault. Seale
concludes.
David Petraeus,
former director of the US
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has described Iran
as the ?primary state-level threat to stability. The DIA further
notes that Iranian military
doctrine is ?designed to slow
an invasion and force a diplomatic solution to hostilities.?
THE PENTAGON likewise asserts that Iran?s military
strategy is ?focused on deterring an attack. According to the
DIA, ?Iran?s defence spending

the region.. The initiative has

prevented its implementation. What

Iran. The US
comes in second place on the
list, with 22% of respondents
seeing it as the biggest threat
to the security of the Arab
countries, while Iran comes
in a very distant third place
with 5%.?
2012, the UN
General Assembly (GA)
adopted a resolution which
demanded that Israel sign
the NPT and open its nuclear facilities to inspections by
the IAEA. If Iran succeeds in
creating a deterrent against
foreign invasion, ?Israel?s
freedom to attack its other
neighbours would also be restricted . In the First
Committee, 147 countries, including Iran, voted for implementing the resolution, and
only one country, the US, voted against the resolution.
in 2003, Iran presented the US Government with
a proposal to initiate a ?diplomatic process that was
intended to resolve on a comprehensive basis all of the bilateral differences between
the United States and Iran?,
according to Flynt Leverett, former senior director
for Middle East affairs at the
US National Security Council.
The US refused the offer.

LEVERETT has argued that the
current trajectory of US foreign policy on Iran is ?heading for another US-initiated

Israel have prevented the realisation of the internationally supported two-state

2012, the British
think-thank International
Institute for Strategic Studies released a report, which
stated that a NWFZ in the
Middle East ?would be an answer to the Iranian nuclear

resolution were Israel, the
US, Canada, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia and Palau.
THE GA resolution was adopted shortly after the US cancelled a nuclear summit to
be held in Helsinki in midDecember. When the

Department of State justi?ed the overthrow of Jacobo Àrbenz by stating that
the democratically elected

was threatening the ?stability. The aim of the
conference was to resolve
the crisis with Iran as well
as to tackle the broader issue of nuclear proliferation
in the region, by establishing a nuclear weapons free
zone (NWFZ) in the Middle East. The Pulitzer

journalist Seymour Hersh
commented in late 2011 that
?they [JSOC] found nothing. This is simply a fact.?
refuting the
claim of a nuclear weapons
program in Iran, however, is
often disregarded.
THE EVIDENCE
VESA Jaakola, a Diplomat in
the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has argued . The
warning expressed by Leverett carries exceptional clout
since he has worked as a senior analyst for the US State
Department, the US National
Security Council and the CIA.
Currently, Leverett is a professor of International Affairs at Pennsylvania State
University.

As reports estimate 17,300 nukes across the world, experts ask for
disarmament and non-proliferation internationally.
NEW YORK
GEORGE GAO
IPS
In the 1800s, Russian playwright Anton Chekhov famously touted one golden
rule for dramatic productions: if you show your audience a loaded gun in the ?rst
act, that gun must go off by
the last.
But Chekhov?s storytelling
trope is troubling if applied
to the world?s weapons technology today, which includes
an estimated 17,300 nukes ?
used by nations to leverage
international power.
According to the Ploughshares Fund?s World Nuclear Stockpile Report, an
estimated 8,500 nukes belong to Russia and 7,700 to
the US. It is
a cutting edge assessment of
how changes in climate, ecosystems, economics, and society interact. ?The Arctic is undergoing fundamental changes. he told IPS.
While the US?s nuke budget is secret, Cirincione estimates that in the next
decade, the US will spend
640 billion dollars on nukes
and related programmes.
As for the US?s role in
pushing for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation
internationally, Cirincione
said, ?The US is probably the
most in?uential voice in this
debate, but it can?t do it alone.
It needs Russia to reduce the
arsenals with them.?
On 5 February 2011, the US
and Russia entered into force
a New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), in which
they agreed by 2018 to limit
the number of their warheads
to 1,550; and the number of
their combined intercontinental and submarine-launched
ballistic missiles, and heavy
bombers equipped for nuclear
armaments to 800.
?If the US and Russia can
agree to cut their arsenals in
half, for example, as they did
in the 1980s and the 1990s?
it would be universally applauded, and it would be very
dif?cult for political opponents to resist that in either
country,. The seven other nations with a nuclear arsenal
trail far behind: they include
France (300), China (240), the
UK (225), Pakistan (90-110),
India (60-110), Israel (60-80)
and most recently North Korea (<10).
?It?s hard to imagine any
military mission that will require the use of one nuclear
weapon. said
Cirincione, who explained
that Obama?s efforts to curb
nukes may conclude a historic arc, which started with
President John F. Estimates show that the region
may have 13 per cent of the
world?s undiscovered oil, 30
per cent of undiscovered gas
deposits, and vast quantities
of mineral resources.
Secretary of State John Kerry represented the US, demonstrating the White House?s,
which also released its new National Strategy for the Arctic
Region, renewed interest in the
Arctic. George Perkovich, Director of the Nuclear Policy Programme at the
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, attributes
the US?s balk partly to internal politics in Washington. They fear the
fates of nuclear-free Iraq in
2003 and Libya in 2011.
?The only thing nuclear weapons are good for is
to keep people from invading your country. said Douglas
Clark of the University of
Saskatchewan.
Rapid and even abrupt
changes are occurring on
multiple fronts across the
Arctic, according to the Arctic Resilience Report (ARR).
?It?s the ?rst international report to tell the world to
buckle up, we?re on a wild
roller coaster ride and don?t
know what?s coming,. Clark
said.
The report is a two-year
collaboration between experts in the Nordic countries,
Russia, Canada and the United States, and includes indigenous perspectives. he concluded.
L E H T I K U VA / A P F P H O T O
New international report discusses how changes in climate, ecosystems, economics and society interact.
youth, Cirincione explained.
Obama?s ?rst foreign policy speech as president . said Joe
Cirincione, President of USbased global security foundation Ploughshares Fund. But the Arctic
is rapidly defrosting . said Sarah Cornell,
lead author of the study.
Global warming is not only melting snow and ice, it is
warming the Arctic Ocean
and the surrounding lands.
Seasons are changing, Arctic species are struggling
and new species are invading, lakes are vanishing,
and rivers are being redirected by the melting landscape, the report documents.
Some Arctic ecosystems are
undergoing
catastrophic,
large-scale and irreversible
changes, Cornell told IPS.
Weather is driven largely by the cold Arctic and Antarctic regions balanced by
the hot tropics. They
do this not in the US?s national security interest, but in
their own career interests.
Perkovich recommended the US to limit pressure
against repressive governments to political and moral means, and sanctions. he said.
Nukes deter
US-led regime change
Perkovich also notes that
Iran, North Korea and Pakistan believe having their own
nuclear arsenals deter US-led
regime change. It?s
a struggle to survive, said
Tero Mustonen, President of
Snowchange Cooperative, a
network of local and indigenous cultures around the
world. said
Cirincione.
?This is an opportunity to
make a major improvement
in US and global security
with a relatively small investment of his time,. Moose are showing up
in the tundra for the ?rst

plants and even trees,. In

ised community of experts
and of?cials shapes US nuclear policy.?
Members of this community often distort nuclear
threats to the US, as well as
the best ways to respond to
such threats, he argues. Some indigenous and
environmental groups urged
the Council to place a moratorium on drilling for oil in
the Arctic given the danger-
ous conditions and dif?culties of clean up.
Greenpeace International
said the agreement offered
no speci?c practical minimum standards and had no
provisions to hold companies
liable for costs and damages.
Arctic peoples aren?t necessarily opposed to economic
development but they do want
to be in control of what happens. We don?t
know what they?ll all be,?
Cornell said.
The Arctic is home to cultures and species found nowhere else, which can?t go
any further north to escape
the rising temperatures. While acknowledging
the profound impacts of global
warming on the region and indigenous people, the US strategy says the region will help to
supply US energy needs well into the future.
At the meeting, members
adopted an agreement on
marine oil pollution preparedness. The report was
prepared for and released at
the Arctic Council Ministerial Meeting in Kiruna, Sweden
at the beginning of May.
?What is happening in the
Arctic has profound implications for every part of the
world,. The use of 10 weapons would be a catastrophe beyond human experience, and
50 is unthinkable,. ?The
rights and cultures of indigenous peoples in these regions
have to be taken seriously in
order to integrate their needs
into any form of development,. The
US should clarify that it won?t
act militarily, if repressive
regimes don?t attack their
neighbours or seek nukes.
Cirincione, author of
Bomb Scare: The History and
Future of Nuclear Weapons, argued that vying for
nukes, in Iran and North Korea?s cases, may actually be
counterproductive.
?I don?t think it improves
their security, it isolates and
prevents them from forging
international ties that can really aid their country, build
their economies and increase
their in?uence,. and
his ?rst foreign policy speech
after re-election both focused on nukes.
?The president faces a
multitude of pressing issues,
but only two of them threaten destruction on a planetary scale: global warming
and nuclear weapons,. ?The
number needed to actually deter an enemy from attacking
the US with or without nuclear
weapons is very low, around a
couple of hundred,. said Cirincione.
But US progress for disarmament and non-proliferation has stalled in the past
few years. he said.

David J. Published on 17 May, the supplementary budget proposes
listing Altia on the stock market.
. This can be interpreted as not a problem with rising prices, but instead
with people?s perception of their disposable income.
People are not happy with their purchasing power.
RISING
Funding for growth?
Altia?s CEO Antti Pankakoski says he views the stock
market plans in a positive
light.
?It would enable us to acquire extra capital, helping
to develop and expand the
company.?
The company has been
eyeing opportunities in East
Europe, where pricey foreign
drink brands sell well and the
consumption of spirits is on
the increase.
Catani explains that
mergers have been a growing trend in the beverage industry for some time now,
with companies looking to
increase both their size and
drinks selection. The Koskenkorva distillery and Finnish values might
have served as a justi?cation
at one point but nowadays
Altia operates in a commercial, competitive market.?
The listing of Altia in the
stock exchange was proposed in the ?rst supplementary budget, in order to
provide the state with revenue and the company with
funds for expanding.
It is thought that the company might be ready for listing during the next few years.
Heliövaara stresses that
the stock market is only one
of the options under consideration, albeit, particularly
for Altia, a plausible one.
?I?m sure Altia would interest citizens, being a com-

Altia because no specific strategic reasons for state ownership are seen to exist anymore.
. Altia, for
example, acquired Xanté liqueur last year and Renault
cognac a couple of years ago.
In Finland, Altia is mainly
associated with the Koskenkorva spirit but Heliövaara
does not want to get involved
in scaremongering about
Finnish drink brands being
sold abroad.
?If we enlist in the stock

company Altia might arouse
interest as a listed company, believes Eero Heliövaara,
Director General of the Government Ownership Steering Department, who thinks
that the company, known for
its Koskenkorva brand, has
the potential to rise through
the rankings for the most
popular shares with Finnish
households.
Altia is under state ownership but the time might
be ripe for the state to relinquish its position as the sole
owner.

The stock market is a plausible option for Altia.
ACROSS Europe, people are dissatis?ed with their per-
sonal situation, and the EU bears much of the blame.
People want less integration, and many leaders, such
as France?s François Hollande, want more. Altia?s pro?tability has been falling, which
is never the optimal situation
for selling,. In 2001, Parliament agreed to cut the state?s share of Altia
down to 50.1 per cent.

showed that 55% of Finns were positive, 25% were neutral, and 20% were negative. Parliament?s say-so is necessary when the state wants to
relinquish its ownership of a company altogether or give up
its position as a sole owner.
. I believe that
the state should also boost
the capital markets.?
Niclas Catani, analyst at
Pohjola Markets monitoring the beverage industry,
expects that international
beverage giants will be interested in Altia.

The incentive for listing Altia on the stock exchange is to acquire revenue for the state and fund the expansion of the company.

The long winter led to the

According to Lauri Veijalainen, Stockmann?s Development Director for

?Russians like spending.
Taxes are low and net incomes
are high compared with other
countries. With Russia investing
heavily in infrastructure and
industry, demand is expected
to grow in the future.?
The Finnish Onninen

For the World Cup, Russians are investing particularly in transport and hotels,

Finnish companies are waiting for the Russian industry sector to

?For example, in the summer, we will have representatives from some 50 companies

to waste would be used as bioenergy, for example waste

the subsidies on woodchip energy by a third resulted
in growing imports of cheap coal. With the right decisions,
these goals can be met.

At the spy museum nothing is as it seems.. Everyone goes at her own pace,
in good spirits and without
any competition.
Naisten kymppi brings enjoyment and humor to runners instead
of competing seriously with frown and race numbers.
Along the route you may
enjoy the beautiful scenery and parks of Helsinki
city centre, hear entertaining music and of course cool
down by drinking some water at drinking stations. This
year, the event will be hosted by Tuija Pehkonen and
Laura Haimila and the end
of the event will culminate in
the performance of the main
artist (Olli Lindholm) and
the NRJ ?Best Out?t. Contest
Awards.
Naisten kymppi dates
back to 1983, when six women, Anneli Mäkelä (now Jalkanen), Marjukka Uusitalo,
Kati Tuominen, Leena Bergenheim, Caica Katajavuori and Tuija Luoma created
an association (JuoksuAika
ry) to inspire women to exercise and run. Radio
devices hidden inside wristwatches, ciphers, identity-changing techniques and
pens ?ring poison pellets are
only a few highlights of the
mysterious ?eld.
James Bond might be a ?ctional character, but some
of his actions and gadgets
are inspired by real tools
and accessories. The
fourth Midnight Run Helsinki will be held on 31 August
2013, when you may speed
up your pace at the rhythm of
Samba music and enjoy the
beautiful lights of Helsinki
at nighttime. Vakoilumuso gives visitors the opportunity to have an in-depth
look at some of these amazing devices.
The weapons section displays some innocent-looking
but lethal weaponry, such as
sword canes, revolvers disguised as measuring tapes
and an umbrella that ?res
poison pellets.
The spy museum also exhibits eavesdropping devices,
like a wristwatch with a radio
device that transmitted conversations to a third person.
When a standard mailbox
just didn?t feel safe enough,
secret agents came up with
different methods of passing con?dential information
and objects of critical importance. Micro?lm, probably
the most important postWorld War Two method of
recording and smuggling information, is showcased at
Vakoilumuseo as well.
Other exhibits include
a series of ciphers, cameras, counter-espionage techniques, ways to change
identity and even an interrogation room with lie detectors. Besides running, there are
numerous organised activities for both the participants and spectators during
the day such as live bands
and warm-up sessions. The idea of this popular event is to run, jog or walk
the 10 km route, which differs slightly every year. The ever-growing number of participants made it necessary for
the ownership of the event
to be transferred to a bigger
and stronger organisation.
Since November 1988, Naisten kymppi and JuoksuAika have been owned by The
Finnish Athletics Federation
and the pro?ts of the event
are used to support the physical activities of children and
young people.
If you were not early enough to register in this
running event, there will be
another fantastic and entertaining 10 km running event
in Helsinki in the fall. In some years
there have even been more
than 30,000 runners

Here The Rock?s Agent
Hobbs joins the crew in London, charged with the task
of taking on a team of mercenary drivers who have
caused havoc across a dozen
countries. Broadening her scope to
include musical elements she
had not previously explored,
the album enjoyed gold sales
and earned Williams a Grammy Award, while also being universally acclaimed by
critics.
Since the overwhelming success of Car Wheels on
a Gravel Road, Williams has
released a string of albums
that have also been critically
acclaimed, though none have
sold in the same numbers as
her 1998 landmark.

Olive oil
efficient in

A study carried out in
collaboration between
the University of Munich
and the University of Vienna has proved that
compared to other kinds
of oils such as canola oil,
olive oil is able to induce
a feeling of satiety much
more quickly. Spatial memory is
the part of memory responsible for recording
information about our
environment, required,
for example, to navigate
around a city.
There is extensive data on the positive effects
on spatial memory of ?avonoid-rich food, such as
red wine, but there was a
lack of research on phenolic compounds, which
are found in champagne.
That is why a research
team from the Chemistry, Food and Pharmacy department of the
University of Reading,
UK, served lab rats the
equivalent of 1.3 glasses
of champagne per week
for six weeks.
This led to an improvement in spatial
working memory in aged
rodents. Prick the cookies with

belonging in the olive

were shown to have a
higher concentration of

the feeling of satiety.
Also, participants have
reported that the yoghurt-olive oil mixture
was very satisfying, and
post-experiment test revealed that none of them
had gained weight.
Their fat percentage had also remained
the same during the
three-month period of
consuming olive oil. Its
Vitamin C content is exceptionally high; furthermore,
it contains an abundant
amount of minerals, including iron, and a variety of essential acids.

nettle (nokkonen in Finnish):

commonly making its appearance in patches of fertile soil next to the sidewalk.
It seems like a useless weed,
but in reality it is a plant of
considerable medical and nutritional value.
Stringing nettle has a
bad reputation, as it owes its
name to the characteristic
itchiness and burning of the

write this, I have already experienced the long, dark, depressing side of the Finnish
winter. depressing?
I have always believed that
we should not let weather spoil
our mood and how we approach our everyday life - this
belief ultimately got stronger during the Finnish winter. 29 MAY 2013

sion get a grip on the country
and its people?
I could only vaguely imagine how the Austrian population would react to a winter
as harsh as in Finland, but
it would probably do a lot of
complaining and staying inside as much as possible.
Not so the Finnish approach. Many clichés, like the
silent, monotonous and depressed mentality of Finns,
had been largely disproved as
myths by own experience. the
tendency to drown oneself in
Koskenkorva or Minttu during holiday festivities or just
on weekends might be a good
example. A
few stereotypes turned out to
be strikingly accurate . an opinion most of
my fellow exchange friends
would probably share.
However, as time moved
towards the colder months
of the year, I started to recall
again what I had read about
Finland. Success of the largest chain
of spas in China, Liangtse, continues in Europe. However, having said this,
my experiences in Finland so
far have been everything but
?everyday life?. No winter depression at all.
As spring has ?nally arrived in Jyväskylä and the last
days of my exchange are approaching fast, I can say that
this was de?nitely not the last
time for me in this country
full of striking natural beauty and its honest, down-toearth people. And
again, the articles about Finland and its people had been
proven wrong. Rather
than hibernating in your cosy
home like bears would, you
grab a couple of friends and
start a barbecue in frosty
conditions, ?lling your bellies with delicious sausages or leipäjuusto. Wait... proven wrong?
WHEN I ?rst came to Finland,
my immediate reaction when
leaving the main building of
Helsinki-Vantaa airport was
to pull off my jacket. And while
one would have complained
about darkness at 3pm before coming to Finland, one
goes outside armed with a
camera to hunt northern
lights.
We exchange students,
of course, adopted this positive mentality very soon. After ?nishing
my Bachelor?s degree in Vienna, I am planning to go abroad
for the Master?s degree . Finland will be my ?rst choice.
Our beautiful facility in Helsinki is a genuine Chinese oasis to
which you are heartfelt welcome. I was prepared
for anything, but not a sunny
welcome in Helsinki.
