Sitting under a tree in Kaisaniemi Park on a sweltering July afternoon, holiday-makers Mikko
Sillanpää, Matti Grönroos and Eero Vänskä all believe applicants
should be selected solely on the basis of their capabilities.
Vänskä, a 27-year-old carpenter, says that many of his Russian
and Estonian co-workers at con-
struction sites manage just as well
as Finns, although the lack of a common language can at times complicate communication.
Ilkka Haavisto, a research manager at the Finnish Business and
Policy Forum (EVA), says that he is
not surprised by the results of the
poll, pointing out that attitudes toward immigrants remain more critical in Finland than in other Nordic
countries.
?The thought of immigrants
taking jobs from Finns lives on,?
Haavisto explains.

University of Helsinki, remind that
the number of jobs is not limited.

Finnish laws prohibit the unequal treatment of people in, for example, employment on grounds of
gender or ethnic or national origin.
Sillanpää, Grönroos and Vänskä,
who are about to embark on a cruise
to Stockholm, all view that work is
not the most important aspect of
life, but that it is also important to
make time for family, friends and
hobbies.
Over half, or 55 per cent, of the
1,085 Finns interviewed for the
survey by TNS Gallup similarly believe work should not always take
precedence.
?People with nothing but work in
their life are sad,. Stubb explains
in a bulletin issued by the Finnish
Government.
?The European Council stipulated in its conclusions in late June that
Russia must take action to stabilise
the situation in Ukraine, but Russia
has not furthered the positive development of the situation.?
In addition to the sanctions,
Stubb views, Finland must continue its efforts to resolve the crisis
through bilateral negotiations with
Russia and at the EU level.
On Tuesday, the Prime Minister
also conceded that the sanctions
will have an impact on the Finnish
economy.
?Indirectly, through the slowdown of economic activities in Russia, the effects may of course also
reach the Finnish economy,. she argued.
Irrespective of the sanctions,
Finnish companies must venture
into new markets to adapt to the
slow-down of the Russian economy, Toivakka reminded, highlighting that Finnish exports to Russia
decreased by six per cent last year
. such as
the losses of thousands of jobs.?
The effects, Stubb estimated,
will remain indirect as long as the
EU is not forced to introduce tougher economic measures.
Stubb expressed contentment with Finnish efforts to ensure that the effects of the sanctions are distributed evenly
across the European Union.
?And none of us want that.?
In addition, Stubb expressed his

Finnish After Dark is a humoristic look at various Finnish-language terms and phrases that are almost impossible to
translate. In addition, serious traffic accidents caused
by young drivers are characterised by excessive speed.
Ordinarily, serious accidents involving young people
occur in non-urban and rural
areas, which have winding
roads with less traffic.

While Finland remains
mired in recession, the Finnish unemployment rate crept
up to 9.6 per cent between
April and June, according to
Statistics Finland.
Despite the bleak economic climate, more than half of
Finns are not afraid of being
laid off, finds a poll commissioned by Helsingin Sanomat.
Conducted in mid-June, the
results of the poll are unaffected by the massive job

giant Microsoft in mid-July

Broadcom last week. Mäkelä highlights.

According to Tiri, the

for a specific reason, such as
a handicap or ensuring that
one can move around in the

However, this is not always the case.
Daily use
In a four-storey single-family
home in Helsinki?s Kalasatama, the lift is in daily use. Kolehmainen explains.
Information
obtained
by Helsingin Sanomat suggests that the officers have
not limited their activities to
the border-crossing points
and the customs area, with
vehicles being reportedly
pulled over up to hundreds
of metres from the border on
Nuorgamintie, a road used
also for other purposes than
to cross the border.
The passengers have reportedly been asked to verify
their identity, and the boot of
at least one vehicle has been
inspected.
According to Kolehmainen, the operation is led by
local authorities. The Norwegian Po-

enter Finland with weapons,?
says Seppo Kinnunen, a deputy chief constable at the Lapland Police Department.
?The police can grant such
a permission if necessary,. At the same time, a

an improvement of 4.5 percentage points from the corresponding period last year.
The clearance rate remains

explains chief inspector Tuomo Lotta. The police directory is
worried about the increase of
robberies.
?The increase is significant. Underage robbers now specialise
in snatching mobile phones.
One of the victims is Joel Kaarlela, 21, from Kirkkonummi, who was robbed
by three 16-17-year-old boys

In addition, YLE wrote
about the phenomenon last

The number of burglaries

According to Lotta, the
long-term trend is a result of
notable investments in investigating and preventing burglaries. Every other victim also had to hand over money, a

Means to tackle the problem do nevertheless exist.

The clearance rates for
more serious offences, Lotta

Overall, the number of offences reported to the police

?Things have changed
profoundly since 2006, when
Israel experienced its last operation with such a large number of casualties. So far, aid
has come in the form of food
rations and medical supplies
for the wounded, as well as
those left dehydrated by the
scorching 45-degree heat.
But very little is being
done to address the psychological trauma that affects
nearly everyone in these
camps.
?The displaced population has been living in rented houses or with relatives
where they lack water, sanitation and food due to which
they are facing water and
food-borne ailments,. Muhammad Arif, a shopkeeper
from Mirali, an administrative division in North Waziristan, confides to IPS.
?They would do well in class
and get good positions. 31 JULY . said
former Israeli military spokeswoman Avital Leibovich,
who helped found the army?s
interactive-media
branch.
?The army does understand
that it needs to deal with this.?
In the meantime, Leibovich
said the army?s other challenge was defending its actions in the field and standing
up to the ?other side. This
included 145,000 women and
55,000 children,. who are surrounded
by medical staff, volunteers,
friends and family . Now
there?s no school and I fear
they will not progress with
their education.?
Even if they were to return to Waziristan, he says,
the future looks bleak, since
the army operation has devastated homes, buildings and
business
establishments.
Everything will have to be
built back up from scratch
before the people can return
to a normal life, he laments.
After nearly a month in
the camp, Arif?s 10-year-old
son Sadiq has all but given up
hope. injuries that they had
faced many shells and explosives during the daily battles.
Such war stories also are
backed up by information
leaked on social media. Eytan Buchman,
an Israeli military spokesman. Through tears, he tells
IPS that children like him
have ?no sleep, no play, no
education.?
?I don?t know what the future holds for us,. he says, adding
that those who were uprooted are sure to develop long
as well as short-term disorders as a result of prolonged
stress, anxiety and fear.
Other conditions could
include de-personalisation,
classified by DSM-IV as a dissociative disorder in which
a person experiences outof-body feelings and severe
disorientation; as well as derealisation, an alteration in
perceptions of the external
world to the point that it appears unreal, or ?dream-like?.
Experts say that people
torn from their native villages, thrust into completely
new surroundings and experiencing insecurity on a daily
basis are highly susceptible
to these types of conditions,
which are associated with severe trauma.
Khan says women and
children, who comprise 73
per cent of IDPs according to
the World Health Organisation (WHO), are likely to be
disproportionately impacted
by PTSD, as well as disorders
related to anxiety, stress,
panic and depression.
Muhammad Junaid, a
psychologist working with
the displaced, says that victims are also suffering from
poor self-esteem, as they are
forced to occupy tents and
shacks, in extremely unsanitary conditions.
Mothers are particularly impacted by their inability to provide for their
families, he tells IPS, adding
that permanent phobias are
not uncommon.
Another major concern
among health officials here is
how the situation will affect
children, many of whom are
at a very sensitive age.
?From childhood to adolescence, a child passes
through dramatic phases of
physical and mental development,. The
Sheba Medical Center near
Tel Aviv is on a war footing.
In the 10 days since Israel
started its ground operation
in the Gaza Strip, the hospital has received more than
50 soldiers with wide-ranging combat injuries.
As wounded soldiers return from the front line, however, the army is facing a new
challenge: how to stop the
troops . said Zeev Rotstein, chief executive of the
medical center. soldiers reuniting
with their smartphones and
everyone around them constantly plugged into multiple social-media platforms
. The army has clear guidelines for soldiers in certain combat units
about their activities on social
media, but those who work in
support positions and do not
deal much with sensitive information face less stringent
rules about posting online.
On 20 July, for example,
hours after Israeli forces entered the Gaza City neighborhood of Shijaiyah, word began
to emerge that an explosive
device detonated by militants
hit an armored personnel carrier, which had a large number of soldiers inside.
A little later, messages began appearing on the texting
platform WhatsApp listing the
names of the dead soldiers.
Some of the names were incorrect, however, causing deep
anguish for some families who
immediately assumed their
sons were dead. We have not seen
this in the past,. from

advised Mor against speaking

had deemed the experiences of
his unit too sensitive to share.
But even as Mor?s parents
wheeled him back to his room
to recuperate, others in the
hospital who have been caring for the soldiers were more
than willing to share the war
stories they had heard.
?Some have told us about
booby-trapped donkeys exploding and about Hamas
fighters shooting from behind
women. He also said
he could tell from the soldiers. ?But the main problems
are psychological disorders,
which are ?unseen?.?
Sitting in front of the Iftikhar Psychiatric Hospital
in Peshawar, capital of KP
and 250 miles from the largest refugee camp in Bannu,
50-year-old Zarsheda Bibi tells IPS her entire family
fled Waziristan, leaving everything behind.
Far worse than the loss of
her home and possessions,
she says, is the loss of her
one-year-old grandson, who
died on the long and arduous
journey to KP.
?She doesn?t sleep properly because she dreams of
her deceased grandson every night,. ?During this transition, they gain
their identity, grow physically and establish familial relationships, as well as bonds
with their community and
society as a whole.?
Ripped from their ancestral homes and traditional
communities, he says, this
process will be interrupted,
resulting in long-term mental conditions unless properly addressed.
Parents are equally worried about what displacement might mean for their
children?s education.
?Two of my sons are very
good at their studies,. stories of

?We went into a house.
There was an explosion; it
was booby-trapped, and
parts of the house fell on top

is treating Bibi for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
According to Javid Khan,
an official with the National Disaster Management
Authority, PTSD is one of
the most common ailments
among the displaced.
He recounts to IPS his
recent interaction with a
woman in a camp in Bannu,
whose husband was killed
by shelling in Miramshah,
the headquarters of North
Waziristan.
?Now she is completely
disoriented and extremely
concerned about the future
of her three sons and one
daughter,. Three days
later, Israeli military police announced that they had arrested three soldiers and a civilian
for leaking information about
the incident.
?There is no question that
we are facing a new challenge,?
said Capt. he says.
For long-time health experts in the region, the situation is a frightening climax of
a crisis that has been building
for years, ever since the army
began a crackdown on insurgents in the rugged, mountainous regions of northern
Pakistan nearly 12 years ago.
?Around 50 per cent of the
residents of FATA have suffered psychological problems
due to militancy and subsequent military operations,?
Muhammad Wajid, a psychiatrist at the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Teaching Hospital
in Peshawar tells IPS.
?We have examined about
300,000 patients at the psychiatry wards of the KP hospital in 2013; 200,000 of
them belonged to FATA. Volunteers delivered treats and
snacks to the wounded, family and friends hovered around
the young soldiers, and international journalists showed
up to hear troops. said a Elnatan Mor,
in a wheelchair flanked by
his parents and the object of
sudden media attention.
Within seconds, an army
spokeswoman standing nearby dashed to his side, her cellphone next to her ear. Mian Iftikhar Hussain tells
IPS. I am sure this
is something that the military
will need to address after this
operation.?

Thunderstorms may cause grains of grass pollen such as these to burst into pieces small enough to travel into the lungs and cause

Allergy sufferers often
wish for rain, hoping it will
wash away all the pollens and
moulds that stuff up their
noses. People with asthma who also have hay fever
may experience coughing
and wheezing from pollen
and mould.
It?s hypothesised that
when those pollen and mould
particles are broken up by a
thunderstorm, the particles
are then small enough to get
into the lungs so that even
someone with mild hay fever may experience respiratory distress. Not every thunderstorm increases emergency room visits or cases of
asthma, Matsui said. Now he?s
working on a study on that
possible link.
The warming of the climate adds another variable. ?One important tenet
of allergy and asthma is that
different patients have different allergic sensitivities,?
Matsui said. The

N iina W oolley . Turbyville
knew that the risk factors
for such reactions are similar to those for asthma, and
he wondered whether there
was a connection between
reactions to allergy shots
and thunderstorms. He recalled an
instance when several of his
patients had more severe reactions than normal to their
allergy shots on a day of huge
thunderstorms. And curiously, thunderstorm asthma sometimes
strikes people who haven?t
been diagnosed with asthma
before.
Under normal conditions, pollen and mould particles are too big to get into
the lungs and mostly trouble the noses of people with
hay fever. That
increases the likelihood of
thunderstorms, perhaps creating the conditions for thunderstorm asthma as well.. When the results
were correlated with data on
genetic distances between
different nations, a surprise
finding emerged.
People that are genetically closer to the Danish topped
the happiness tables. According to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, 23.4 million
Americans have asthma. ?I definitely think this
is something that might become worse with climate
change,. But
very few of them are affected
by thunderstorms. Beating rain saturates and bursts the particles
into tiny pieces. The phenomenon has been followed particularly in Australia, the
United Kingdom and Italy.
As reported in the journal
Thorax in 2008, researchers
in Atlanta analysed 12 years
of data and found 3 per cent
more emergency room visits
for asthmatic attacks in the
24 hours following thunderstorms than on days without such storms. said Andrew Grundstein, lead author of the
Atlanta study and a professor in the Department of
Geography at the University of Georgia. it?s not entirely predictable,. Matsui said. He cited studies that suggest that climate
warming might put more
pollen in the air and cause
more strong thunderstorms
with heavy rains and strong
winds.
And increased urbanisation, Grundstein noted, creates what experts call an
urban heat island effect. said Joe Turbyville,
an allergist in Louisville.
Unprepared for impact
Experts think some of the
upsurge in ER visits related
to thunderstorm asthma can
be traced to the fact that people with mild asthma or hay
fever may not carry rescue
inhalers and are therefore
unprepared for the impact of
the storm.
Turbyville first got interested in the phenomenon
when he was chief of allergy,
immunology and immunisations at the Fort Knox Army
installation. While rain can indeed
provide relief, a violent thunderstorm may have just the
opposite effect: an unlucky
few may experience a littleknown threat called thunderstorm-related asthma.

short version has been associated with neuroticism and
low life satisfaction while
the long version has been
found to correlate with positive attitude and high life
satisfaction, even though
the findings still need to be
confirmed.
If the gene really is linked
to mental well-being, this
would make a perfect candidate to explain why Denmark
tops the happiness rankings
as the short version of the
gene is less common in Denmark and the neighbouring
Netherlands than anywhere
else in the world.
Happiness Stateside
Finally, the research team
looked at whether the link between genetic makeup and
happiness held true in the
melting pot of nations, the
United States. said Susan Kosisky, chief microbiologist with
the US Army Centralized Allergen Extract Lab in Silver
Spring, Md.
Some of the main allergen culprits behind thunderstorm asthma are thought
to be grains of pollen, especially grasses and weeds, and
mould spores, particularly Alternaria and Cladosporium, two of the predominant
moulds in the Washington
area, according to Kosisky.
Such moulds are also associated with asthma in medical
studies.
Affected globally
Thunderstorms. A downdraft
then spreads those small
particles into the environment and the air we breathe.
Some think that the electrical charge of the storm may
make these tiny particles
more likely to stick in the
lungs when inhaled.
?There are lots of small
respirable particles floating around that folks can inhale and [that] contain those
allergens that cause them
to react,. ?The
thing about these studies,?
Matsui said, ?is that they are
very hard to do; that they?re
all retrospective means that
it?s very hard to extrapolate
any information about one
particular study to all thunderstorm asthma.?
Part of the puzzle of thunderstorm asthma is whom it
hits. ability to set
off asthma attacks has been
shown by increased emergency room visits and ambulance calls around the world,
according to an overview
published in 2012 in the British journal QJM. To do this, the
scientists trawled through data on the reported wellbeing of
Americans and then looked at
which part of the world their
ancestors had come from.
The evidence revealed
that there is an unexplained
spike in the observed happiness of Americans living in
regions where the population originates in Denmark
or countries that are genetically close.
Researchers
Eugenio
Proto and Andrew Oswald
caution against drawing farreaching conclusions on the
basis of the results, even
though they believe that the
study provides evidence for
a link between genetic background and happiness. A new study shows
that happiness might be in
the genes.
A study by the University of Warwick is the first to
explore the contribution of
genetics to the uneven distribution of happiness between
nations.
At the first stage of the
study, the researchers looked
at survey data from 131 studies on quality of life, values
and happiness in different
countries. The two
versions of the gene have often been analysed in studies on personality traits. The scope of
thunderstorm asthma might
well be broader, said study
co-author Stefanie Ebelt
Sarnat, an assistant professor of environmental health
at Emory University, because
the ER figure doesn?t include
individuals who might have
self-medicated or seen their
personal physicians in the
wake of a storm.

EAT & DRINK
31 JULY . You become terribly
frustrated when you hear
the sentence ?but this does
not contain any meat?, when
you turn down a cheesecake
containing gelatine, or when
someone says: ?you can always pick the meat away?.
4. The
range of eating and drinking
establishments varies from
southern European to Nepalese, from a tearoom to a restaurant bar.
City dwellers just do not
seem to find the new businesses, even though they are
all located within a kilometre
from Helsinki?s main railway
station.
Restaurant
entrepreneurs believe that the holiday season and the ongoing
renovations at Töölönlahti Bay contribute to the loss
of customers. concludes Ljokkoi.
Salomonkatu 19, Helsinki
Tel. Only another vegan can

when fellow diners want to
VR Group that the accessories will be removed.?
The lunch crowd was big
in two restaurants on the test
day, Thursday. It is located in Mustikkamaanpolku, on an area administered by the zoo of
Korkeasaari. even if
they are estranged from nature or the countryside . says Ljokkoi. According to a
Woolshed restaurant worker,
many office workers usually
show up for lunch. There are plenty
of chairs and tables for many
more customers.
?People have had a really
hard time finding their way
here,. Dodo-activists
set up Helsinki?s first guerrilla
garden on a wasteland by the
railroad tracks in Pasila, Helsinki. It?s
an open park for all and its edible plants are free to harvest
but Ljokkoi hopes ?that people understand to harvest only for their own use.?
The park offers a possibility to grow useful plants on
open land and pick berries
and other fruit from bushes
and trees. In 2011 Dodo
received the city of Helsinki?s environmental award for
its urban gardening activities. Most
of them opened their doors
only a few months ago. Finland?s urban environmental projects are shooting
up from rooftops, warehouses and from any empty plot
where the seeds of a green
revolution are able to grow.
Community gardens and
urban agriculture are not just
potent tools for helping citizens realise the unravelling
potential of urban life, they
can also help celebrate diversity by bringing people together or provide neighbourhood
convening and even communal cooking. Especially if it is Christmas.
2. Only another vegetarian understands what a pos-
A photo search with lamb yields pictures of both baby animals

itive surprise it is, when you
eat at your partner?s parents
for the first time and they
serve vegetarian food. Chicken is also
meat.
8. Let?s face it,
not everyone wants to eat a tomato that has travelled up to
2,000 kilometres over a period of two weeks.
?People want to join communal action and really want
to get in touch with nature,
get their hands dirty with
soil and plant trees,. H T
A few months ago, many
new business premises and
homes have been completed
in the former wasteland between Töölönlahti Bay and
the railway in Helsinki. Only another vegetarian can understand why you
would send pictures with
your phone from the store to
friends after discovering a
new vegan-friendly product
on the shelf.
3. Urban
agriculture is about growing
food within urban spaces and
Finland is wholeheartedly
joining in this worldwide environmental movement.
The Mustikkamaa Edible
Garden is an experimental
project that aims to motivate
people and groups to join actively in the planning process of the Edible Park and
to develop the citizen?s relationship towards urban environment thus improving the
diversity of urban culture. Steak is on
the menu, and many men are
on the premises.
?Actually, it?s very quiet today! We?ve been really busy,?
says waiter Tim Benson.

you are the kind of person who downs whole, raw hot chillies for kicks.

capsaicin, the compound that makes chillies spicy.

Jalapeños are typically thought of as a seasoning, something
to chop up or slice to make something else taste spicy. The punningly named jalapeño poppers
(poppers puns on peppers) are typically filled with a creamcheese based filling, which makes sense: Cream cheese is
both perfectly smooth and impeccably mild, which makes it a
great foil for the jalapeño?s sharpness. (09) 647 551, mob 040 7347 638

Screens nowadays are positively saturated with what
was until recent years considered a risky proposition.
However, given the booming business of Marvel and
DC?s cinematic stock in recent times, who cares what I
think . After some
entertaining scenes, Quill reluctantly joins forces with a
quartet of alien bandits in order to make a jail break: the
very green Gamora (Zoe Saldana), the very buff Drax

(voiced by Bradley Cooper)
and the very tree The Groot
(voice of Vin Diesel). An adaptation of Steve Moore?s Radical
Comics graphic novel, early word has been surprisingly good,
with critics praising the lighter tone brought to the material.
Finnish cinema receives a boost this week, with the

So, this week sees The
Guardians Of The Galaxy
seeking to separate you from

bulky frame and no grasp of
a metaphor raises laughs, and
all manner of wooden acting jokes can be thrown the
way of Diesel, as his character spouts the same sentence
repeatedly (?I am Groot?) to
amusing effect.
Also along for the ride,
fans of Michael Rooker will

Well, here goes: after the
mood-setting 3D Marvel logo welcomes us to their world
once again, it?s time for some
back story and motivation
for our main character, Peter
Quill (Chris Pratt), whose tale
we then pick up again some
26 years later. Subversive for a genre that traditionally strictly
adheres to particular story beats, Guardians is even
more self-aware than the
Iron Man trilogy.

predictably overblown end-

Oh, Josh Brolin bobs up as

Thanos, just in case the cast
list wasn?t crowded enough.
After starting his career
as a screenwriter in the late
90s, at first glance director
James Gunn?s CV is patchy
at best. Embarking
on a 13-year affair with 18-year-old actress Nelly Ternan
(Felicity Jones), the film boasts celebrated English author
Charles Dickens (Fiennes) at its centrepiece. As is the genre?s
want, proceedings are saturated with computer effects,
though their digital realisation and 3D rendering is simply superb throughout.

Finnish Lapland is one
of the most beautiful places on the planet and one of
the things I enjoy the most is
the ?outside. In
Rovaniemi, I spent all the
money I had left doing all the
usual tourist things, which included a visit to a husky farm
for a short ride in a sled pulled
by a team of dogs. Luckily, Finland
didn?t disappoint and on return to Australia, I immediately began searching for
ways to go back and spend
more time there.
The answer was found in
a small village called Hetta,
300 kilometers north of the
Arctic Circle. people getting out and taking
advantage of endless hiking
trails or ski tracks, or just
generally spending time being part of nature. I planned two
months of travel across Europe, with my last and longest stop being in Finland. Yet, as a teenager,
I decided that one of my life
goals was to visit Finland ?
in particular, the area above
the Arctic Circle, the complete ?polar opposite. a place where
summer temperatures regularly exceed 40° Celsius
and ?winter clothing. I didn?t see snow until I was 23, on a holiday to
America. CLASSIFIEDS & SERVICES

couldn?t possibly be real
work, right?
Sure, the experience of
gliding through a snow-covered forest with a team of
beautiful arctic dogs is like a
fairytale and I would happily do that for hours and hours
every day, but the reality is
that all the daily work on the
farm, to get to that point, is
really hard . There is a company that runs all kinds of
dog sled adventures there,
and it is staffed entirely by
volunteers from all over the
world. They agreed to take
me as a trainee, and on 1 November 2012 I was standing
out in the snow in sub-zero
temperatures, dishing out
80 kilograms of semi-thawed
meat to 110 howling huskies.
Almost two years later,
I?m back in Australia impatiently waiting out the northern hemisphere summer so I
can return to the Arctic, this
time to a farm on the Arctic
Circle in Rovaniemi, for my
third winter season as a sled
dog guide.
If you just followed the
photos I post on Facebook,
you could be forgiven for
thinking that I was just away
on an extended holiday. standard tasks
like feeding and cleaning take
a lot of time, the number and
noise of both dogs and people around makes everything
seem constantly chaotic, and
even simple things like tying a
rope become that much more
challenging in -40 degree
temperatures. 6 AUGUST 2014

It can be hard to get up
early day after day, starting
work in the pitch dark and
freezing cold, skipping meals
and literally running around
for hours, but there is some
unknown driving force that
makes you want to keep going back for more, and every
day feels like an accomplishment . Looking
back, the ride couldn?t have
been more than a 500-metre
loop, but it was a phenomenal
experience and I was hooked.
