The Franco-Russian treaty at Tilsit in 1807 spelled trouble for Sweden as well as for Denmark. Just like the Danes, the Swedes underestimated the threat of the new alliance, and soon found themselves fighting yet another war against Russia in Finland.
This week, Scott welcomes Dr. Elisabet Lahti—educator, applied psychology researcher, and founder of the Sisu Lab. Dr. Lahti is the world’s leading expert on sisu, a Finnish concept that embodies extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity.

It's Wednesday, November 5th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Vulnerable Asian and African girls kidnapped, abused, converted to Islam Christian women and girls are easy targets for persecution in South Asian and African nations. Last Tuesday, a panel at the World Evangelical Alliance's 14th General Assembly shared details. For example, girls in Nigeria, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are often kidnapped, abused, and forced to convert to Islam. Even if they escape, they often face rejection after returning to their families, communities, or churches. The panel called for better care for the women and girls subjected to such persecution. In Matthew 25:40, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.” Finnish stateswoman on trial again for affirming Biblical sexuality Speaking of persecuted women, a Christian woman in Finland is on trial for posting online about her biblical views on marriage and sexuality. Last Thursday, the country's Supreme Court heard the case of Päivi Räsänen, a 65-year-old Finnish Member of Parliament. The state prosecution of her religious expression continues despite lower courts clearing her of wrongdoing. Listen to her recent comments to CitizenGo. RÄSÄNEN: “This has been my calling. This has been some kind of privilege, to defend these very crucial values, to defend the freedom of speech and freedom of faith, because that is what we need just now. And also to bring the teachings of the Bible in public.” Lutheran Bishop Juhana Pohjola is also on trial in the case. He said, “I think it is important that Christians continue to be able to defend Christian marriage and the Christian view of humanity without fear.” In 2 Thessalonians 1:8, the Apostle Paul wrote “Therefore, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the Gospel according to the power of God.” 40 Days for Life has saved 25,000 babies from abortion 40 Days for Life completed its latest campaign on Sunday. Pro-lifers mobilized for vigils in 671 cities worldwide for the last 40 days. Shawn Carney, president of the pro-life group, said, “Thanks to your prayers and God's generosity, we continue to receive reports of babies who were scheduled to be aborted--but are instead alive and well!” In some cities, vigils are continuing year-round through the 40 Days for Life 365 initiative. Since 2007, 40 Days for Life has saved over 25,000 babies from abortion. Former Vice President Dick Cheney died In the United States, former Vice President Dick Cheney died on Monday at the age of 84. His family said in a statement that he died from complications of pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease. The statement noted, “Dick Cheney was a great and good man who taught his children and grandchildren to love our country, and to live lives of courage, honor, love, kindness, and fly fishing.” Sadly, Cheney supported homosexual faux marriage because his daughter, Mary Cheney, married her lesbian lover, Heather Poe. Cheney was known as one of the most influential vice presidents in U.S. history. He served as vice president under both terms of President George W. Bush. He was a key yet controversial leader in the “War on Terror” following the 9/11 terrorists attacks. Cheney was a member of the United Methodist Church. He was also the first Methodist vice president to serve under a Methodist president. U.S. Episcopal Church shrinking for anti-Biblical stances The U.S. Episcopal Church released its 2024 Parochial Report last month. And it's not good news. Not surprisingly, the mainline Protestant denomination reported fewer baptisms and a drop in the total number of parishes -- no doubt the result of the Episcopal Church's rejection of Biblical authority and an embrace of sodomy and baby killing through abortion. Worship attendance did increase last year, but is still down compared to a decade ago. At its rate of decline, the denomination could have no Sunday attendance in 30 years. Deuteronomy 4:2 warns, “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.” Slight decrease in U.S. obesity rate And finally, Gallup reports obesity rates are declining in the U.S. The adult obesity rate stands at 37% this year. That's down from a high of 39.9% in 2022 but up from 25.5% in 2008. While obesity rates have declined recently, diagnoses of diabetes have reached an all-time high of 13.8%. That's up slightly from 10.6% in 2008. The use of weight loss injectable drugs has risen sharply over the past year. The popularity of these weight loss drugs is connected with lower obesity rates but has not lessened the rate of diabetes diagnoses.

Last week attempts at cloud seeding to reduce pollution in Delhi failed to produce any rain. We catch up with reporter Chhavi Sachdev to find out more about official's latest and controversial attempt at tacking hazardous levels of air pollution in the city. The Maldives have become the first country to ban smoking for younger generations with no one born on or after 1 January 2007 being able to buy tobacco products. Journalist Philippa Roxby comments on what this means for health.What do the public know about the cancer risks of alcohol? Dr Sanjay Shete, Professor of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Texas, explains his research comparing the real risks to public awareness.A Finnish study has found that voting behaviours in elections are strongly linked to health, suggesting it may even be a stronger determinant than education.

In the frozen landscape of Finnish winter, 1885, the quiet croft of Efraim Martin in Ylöjärvi became the center of local attention thanks to a series of unexplainable events that saw almost the entire neighbourhood crowd into the small farmhouse. Rumours of the devils and demons wound through the township, as neighbors swore they saw an invisible force cause havoc throughout the otherwise peaceful home. The story spread like the winter frost, and soon the authorities themselves were forced to ask the question: was this trickery, or had the Devil truly come to Ylöjärvi?SOURCES Stenius, J.

In this lively, idea packed episode of The Forest School Podcast, Lewis and Wem move from Halloween chatter to a full nature reset. Wales waterfalls, Pen y Fan, Regent's Park squirrels, and the deer rut at Richmond Park set the scene for a deeper dive. Lewis picks up Ludo Botany again and invites listeners to help build a new series, starting with tree climbing. The pair then unpack a Finnish trial that “rewilded” kindergartens with real forest floor to boost children's microbiomes, compare new Australian findings, and explore equity, ethics, hygiene practice, and culture change. A new original song appears too. It is written from the viewpoint of an oak tree watching its acorns become craft supplies.
True story: I bumped into Reinhold Messner at the base of Mount Sabyinyo in Rwanda on December 31, 2016.Because I had read several of his books, I instantly recognized him with his signature disheveled hair and gray beard.Still, I politely asked, "Excuse me. Are you Reinhold Messner?"He looked at me, grumbled an unclear non-answer, and turned away to join his small group.I shuffled over to Rejoice Tapon and said, "I'm 95% sure that that man over there is Reinhold Messner, the greatest mountaineer ever!"She'd never heard of him, but she said, "I'll get a selfie with him!"Rejoice boldly asked him for a selfie. Perhaps Messner was impressed with her beauty, or didn't want to appear racist by turning down what he figured was a local Rwandan (Rejoice is from Cameroon). Regardless, he agreed. And she triumphantly showed it off to me to rub it in. I mention this story because I laughed when I read Messner's confession on Kindle Location 3057 of "Against the Wind." He wrote: "Approachability and sociability have never been my strong points."This sums up what I hope is NOT his final book. His book is full of criticisms of Messner. Most criticisms originate from journalists, climbers, or partners. However, sometimes he criticizes himself (like his poor social skills).For Messner, all these criticisms are a constant "headwind" that he has faced throughout this remarkable long life (he's over 80).This book is NOT what I expected. I've read five of his books and loved them all, especially "Crystal Horizon," which is about his solo climb up Everest's north face in 1980 without oxygen.I expected profound reflections and wisdom. The book's subtitle even promises "reflections." However, the reflections are shallow.The subtitle should be, "Defending Myself Against an Army of Critics." He spends about 25% of the book discussing the tragic loss of his brother, Gunther, on Nanga Parbat. Throughout the book, he has long excerpts of articles that heavily criticize Messner, especially about how he "abandoned" his brother after summitting. I admire Messner for sharing what his critics say and then offering his rebuttal. He could have made a series of strawman arguments that he could easily tear down.Instead, he gives his critics a strong platform, and they crucify him.I never doubted his story, which I read in one of his previous books.He said that after he and Gunther summited, they traversed the mountain by descending the Rupal Face instead of returning the way they ascended.Reinhold was significantly ahead of Gunther, who died in an avalanche.Messner spends MANY pages refuting idiotic claims that others have made. For example, they claim Messner went down one way while he told his brother to go down a different way, alone. They claim that he planned all along to traverse the mountain, which he denies.What's sad is that you don't need to invent lies to make Messner look bad. Just use his words against him.I'll do so by just taking three points from his latest book.1. Messner repeatedly said that Gunther was extremely weak at the summit and suffering from altitude issues.2. His book says, "Reinhold reported that he was about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."3. However, later in the book, Messner writes, "During the descent, I was convinced that he was right behind me."I'm a mountaineer who has been in many difficult situations and sometimes been with a weak or injured partner. I would certainly get ahead of my weak partner to scout the terrain, to find the easiest path down.However, I would ALWAYS remain within sight or earshot, ESPECIALLY if my partner is feeble.If they're suffering from high altitude issues, they could collapse at any moment.This is common sense & prudence.How can Messner claim, "I was convinced that he was right behind me," and admit that he was "about one and a half hours in front of his brother and had lost sight of him."That's a ridiculous contradiction.It's normal that in the darkness, you might get ahead of your partner and lose visual and auditory contact for several minutes.The moment you realize that you're disconnected, you should stop and wait for your partner to catch up.If he doesn't appear after 15 minutes, it's time to backtrack. To get 90 minutes ahead of your weakened partner is negligent. That fact is all I need to know that Messner was wrong, negligent, and irresponsible.He screwed up.That's all he needs to say. However, instead of addressing this obvious failure, Messner spends pages proving that his critics are wrong about many of their false claims.Enough about their claims! Shut up, Messner! Address the elephant in the room, which you readily admit!And yet, he doesn't clearly and unambiguously say that he was a horrible brother and climbing partner during that descent. The closest he comes to admitting his mistake is when he writes:"Felix Kuen was also one and a half hours ahead of his climbing partner when he reached the summit. Sigi Löw lagged behind during the descent from the summit in 1962 and fell. The very nature of the glacier also caused us to be so far apart."B******t. No glacier forces two climbers to be 90 minutes apart!On the contrary! Most glaciers force climbers to rope up together in case one falls into a crevasse. Instead, "Messner explains that it's standard practice among mountaineers for the partner who is feeling fitter to go first to find the best way down through crevasses."Yes, but not 90 minutes ahead!!!I hoped that 80-year-old Messner would not spend 25% of the book disproving the lies or stupid hypotheses of his critics.Instead, he should have simply said, "I regret not staying close to Gunther throughout the descent. Yes, that might mean that we would both get caught in a deadly avalanche, but given his weakened state, I should never have gotten 90 minutes ahead of him. Ten minutes max. I screwed up."Another bewildering part of the book:"I have been ostracized, slandered, and harmed by people I have shared personal bonds with. The worst thing for me was when I was kicked out of my family home at the age of seventy-five, by my wife. I was given no warning or reason. Despite being often apart from my wife and children while on my many expeditions, I am a family man.We also traveled to places together and I was often at home for months at a time."WTF? Really? "No warning or reason"? C'mon, Messner. If you have no clue why your 2nd wife kicked you out, you're not only the Greatest Mountaineer of All Time (GOAT), but you're also the Most Oblivious Man of All Time. OTHER TIDBITSHe writes, "I've had heart surgery twice." I didn't know, but that suggests he's probably in his final decade.He writes, "I failed three times on an eight-thousander."I wish he reflected on those failures. As Nietzsche puts it: “There are two types of tragedy in our lives. Not reaching our goals—and even worse, reaching our goals.”CONCLUSIONThis book is filled with flaws and is disappointing. Messner wastes all his reflections on his critics. How shallow.You'd think a god like Messner would rise above such petty people and their words. You'd think one of the most mentally tough people in history would not have such thin skin and a fragile ego that any stupid critic can make mighty Messner squirm and get defensive.Who cares?! You're MESSNER! The GOAT!Messner should make a poster in his house that quotes Finnish composer Jean Sibelius, who said, "No one ever erected a statue of a critic." Messner will have statues and accolades forever. His critics will be forgotten.It's so sad to see that they get underneath his thin skin.I was hoping he was tougher and could brush them off like he brushes off the lack of oxygen.So why do I give it 4 stars instead of 1 star?Because, like it or not, the book is a window into Messner's soul.And I find that revealing and interesting, even if it's a bit disappointing.

In this fascinating episode of Peak Human Labs, Dr. Sanjeev Goel explores one of biology's most essential yet misunderstood molecules, NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), with Jari Närhi, CEO of the Finnish biotech company NADMED. Often called the “molecule of life,” NAD powers every cell in the body by fueling mitochondria to produce ATP, the body's fundamental energy currency. As Jari explains, our cells recycle an astonishing 45 kilograms of ATP every day, a process entirely dependent on NAD's electron-carrying function. The conversation dives deep into how NAD works, why it is vital for cellular energy and repair, and what happens when levels drop. Jari explains that while NAD levels tend to decline with age, this is driven less by aging itself and more by chronic inflammation, illness, and metabolic stress that consume NAD. He also unpacks why measuring NAD has historically been so difficult and how NADMED's breakthrough technology now makes accurate testing possible. Dr. Goel and Jari discuss the science behind popular NAD supplements like niacin, NR, and NMN, the debate surrounding IV NAD+ drips, and the risks of pushing NAD levels too high, which can disrupt the delicate NAD+/NADH balance. The key takeaway is clear: NAD is central to life and longevity, but science is still catching up to understand how best to optimize it fully. With innovations in testing and continued research, NAD measurement could soon become a standard marker of health alongside cholesterol and glucose. Our Guest: Jari Närhi, M.Sc, Chief Executive Officer, NADMED Ltd Jari Närhi has broad executive-level experience in international business in the fields of medical technology, health services, information technology, and management consulting. He has worked in very large global enterprises as well as the very small, having co-founded several start-up companies. He also has rich experience in regulatory affairs and new product launches in the global market. In addition to his native country Finland, Jari has lived and worked in the USA and Japan. Key Takeaways NAD is the essential molecule powering every cell's energy production through ATP. NAD levels decline with inflammation and disease, not necessarily with age itself. NADMED's innovation enables accurate blood testing for all NAD forms, once nearly impossible. Oral supplements like niacin, NR, and NMN can raise NAD levels, but more is not always better. IV NAD+ drips may not directly increase NAD inside cells; their mechanism remains unclear. Healthy diet, exercise, and reduced inflammation naturally support optimal NAD function. Measuring NAD could soon become a standard biomarker in clinical testing, much like cholesterol or hemoglobin.

This first autumn podcast episode features Finnish fashion designer Sofia Ilmonen, who discusses her approach to creating modular, transformable garments that can be reshaped and reassembled like building blocks. Ilmonen details how her use of simple square or rectangular modules contributes to her sustainability goals. She also explains her focus on "sizeless" garments aiming to increase longevity by addressing the poor fit, which she identifies as one of the biggest reasons for discarding clothing. Sofia Ilmonen is a fashion designer whose work centres on modular, transformable clothing that merges sustainability with innovative garment design. At the core of her concept is adaptability — both in silhouette and size — with the aim of promoting a more responsible and inclusive fashion culture. The modular approach extends garment lifespans by allowing pieces to be reassembled and reshaped endlessly.All garments are built from square-shaped modules, a form that not only follows zero-waste cutting principles but also embodies the idea of continuous design. Each module is compatible with any part of a garment and is joined using a unique system of specially designed 3D-printed buttons. This enables infinite transformations without sewing and makes the garments sizeless, adaptable to many body shapes and styles.Sofia's work has been presented in international exhibitions and featured in publications such as British and Scandinavian Vogue. Her Aalto University thesis was recognized with the Marimekko Award and the Finnish Textile and Fashion Prize, and she received the prestigious Mercedes-Benz Sustainability Prize at the Festival de Hyères. Her modular collections have also been showcased at Berlin and Copenhagen Fashion Weeks.Before founding her own label, Sofia worked extensively in London in roles ranging from seamstress and creative pattern cutter to designer. Her three years at Alexander McQueen, immersed in the world of high fashion and craftsmanship, left a profound influence on her design philosophy and continue to shape her practice today.Support the showThank you for listening!

This week we're tackling one of the most persistent wellness myths: that cutting carbs is essential for weight loss. We dive into what carbs actually are, why they became the enemy, what the science really says about low-carb diets, and the health benefits of keeping wholegrains in your life. We also explore powerful new findings from a 30-year Finnish study showing that unhealthy habits like smoking, drinking and inactivity don't just affect your future. They start impacting your quality of life by your mid-thirties. But the good news is that changing course earlier can make all the difference. Plus, with headlines about 28-year-olds getting facelifts and cosmetic surgery on the rise, we ask why so many of us are feeling pressure to change our appearance, and how we can reclaim confidence and care in a filtered world. Finally, we revisit the rapeseed oil debate, where the fear comes from, and what the science really says about cooking oils and inflammation. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Ryan Tsapatsaris is back and joins Elizabeth for discussion about bullying behaviors. A recent study of Middle and High School aged participants revealed that bullied students admitted to also engaging in bullying behaviors. The relationship was stronger for gender non-conforming students than for cisgender students. Transgender identities were also more strongly associated with perpetration of bullying than subjection to bullying. Ryan and Elizabeth describe the study and findings. We also discuss some interesting aspects of the data set, which becomes a jumping off point for a summary of recent trends in gender identification: As of 2023, Generation Z survey respondents have been much less likely to identify as either trans or queer. We also talk about the risks involved in doing this kind of research and secondary analysis of data. Social scientists should be able to pose difficult and unpopular questions, and extend research and theory to contemporary social issues, without constant worries about interpersonal and professional cancellation campaigns.Podcast notesTopic article:Heino, E., Ellonen, N., & Kaltiala, R.

Humorous and tender, this BBC World Service documentary takes a long-haul view of the lives of modern truckers in Europe – exploring working-class masculinity on the road, all-nighters, and long journeys from inside a truck driver's cab.Truck drivers are often seen as symbols of freedom and independence. But how free is life on the road today, when the watchful eye of the system is always upon them?One of them is Finnish truck driver Tiia Rajala, who has dreamed of the open road since childhood. As we follow her across Europe, she masters her powerful machine and reflects on the stereotypes surrounding truckers. Sociologist Timo Aho explores what these stereotypes reveal about masculinity, class, and identity.Credits:Produced by Suvi Tuuli Kataja, Elli Salo Script: Elli Salo Sound design and field recording: Suvi Tuuli Kataja Music: Jussi Liukkonen, Roope Mantere Background research: Pinja Korhonen, Roosa Stenroos Thanks to: Jarno Nuutinen, Moving World, Sara Tuomola

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Rob Meyerson, co-founder and CEO of Interlune and former president of Blue Origin, about building the next phase of the space economy—from mining Helium-3 on the Moon to powering quantum computing and future fusion reactors on Earth. They explore the science behind lunar regolith, cryogenic separation, robotic excavation, and how private industry is rekindling the optimism of Apollo. Rob also shares lessons from scaling Blue Origin and explains why knowledge management and intuition matter when engineering at the edge of possibility. Follow Rob and Interlune on LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and Instagram.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 Stewart Alsop welcomes Rob Meyerson, who introduces Interlune's mission to extract Helium-3 from the Moon and explains its origins in the Apollo samples.05:00 Meyerson describes how lunar regolith traps solar wind gases, the role of ilmenite, and how spectrometry helps identify promising Helium-3 sites.10:00 Discussion shifts to Helium-3's commercial potential, the Department of Energy's isotope program, and its link to tritium decay and nuclear stockpiles.15:00 Meyerson connects Helium-3 to quantum computing, explaining cryogenic dilution refrigeration and the importance of ultra-cold temperatures.20:00 They explore cryogenic engineering, partnerships with Vermeer for lunar excavation, and developing solar wind–implanted regolith simulants.25:00 Rob reflects on his 15 years at Blue Origin, scaling from 10 to 1,500 people, and the importance of documentation and knowledge retention.30:00 The talk turns to lunar water, propellant production, and how solar and nuclear power could support a permanent in-space economy.35:00 Meyerson outlines robotic harvesting, lunar night hibernation, and AI applications for navigation, autonomy, and resource mapping.40:00 The conversation broadens to intuition in engineering, testing in lunar gravity, and lessons from Apollo's lost momentum and industrial base.50:00 Rob closes with optimism for private industry's role in rebuilding lunar infrastructure and how Interlune fits into humanity's return to the Moon.Key InsightsHelium-3 as a Lunar Resource: Rob Meyerson explains that Helium-3, a rare isotope on Earth but abundant on the Moon due to billions of years of solar wind implantation, could power future fusion energy and enable cleaner, more efficient energy sources. Interlune's mission is to commercialize this resource, beginning with robotic prospecting and extraction missions.The Science of Lunar Regolith: The Moon's regolith—the dusty surface soil—acts as a natural collector of solar wind gases like hydrogen, helium, and helium-3. Meyerson describes how Interlune identifies promising mining locations using data from NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the presence of ilmenite, a titanium-rich mineral that traps more Helium-3 than other regions.Cryogenics and Quantum Computing: Helium-3 is essential for dilution refrigerators that cool quantum computers to millikelvin temperatures, colder than any place in the universe. Meyerson highlights a new commercial contract with Bluefors, a Finnish cryogenics leader, to supply Helium-3 starting in 2028—proving the economic case for lunar resource extraction.Fusion Energy and Strategic Supply: While today's fusion reactors rely on tritium and deuterium, Helium-3 could be the next-generation fuel—safer and more efficient. With tritium decay from aging nuclear stockpiles as the only current terrestrial source, Interlune's lunar supply could fill a critical gap for future clean-energy systems.Building Lunar Infrastructure: Interlune's long-term vision extends beyond Helium-3 to producing rocket propellant, metals, and industrial materials on the Moon. By developing cryogenic separation and excavation systems, they aim to enable a self-sustaining “in-space economy” where resources mined in space fuel space-based operations.AI and Autonomy in Space Mining: Artificial intelligence and advanced sensing will guide robotic harvesters on the Moon's harsh terrain. AI will also analyze imagery and soil data to map Helium-3 concentrations and manage knowledge across missions, turning data into operational insight.Lessons in Leadership and Scale: Drawing from his 15 years leading Blue Origin, Meyerson stresses the importance of documentation, mentorship, and maintaining technical continuity as teams grow. He contrasts Apollo's lost potential with today's resurgence of private space ventures, expressing deep optimism for U.S. innovation and the rebirth of lunar industry.
As one of the fantasy genre's most successful authors, R.A. Salvatore enjoys an ever-expanding and tremendously loyal following. His books regularly appear on The New York Times best-seller lists and have sold more than 30,000,000 copies. Salvatore's most recent original hardcover, The Two Swords, Book III of The Hunter's Blade Trilogy (October 2004) debuted at # 1 on The Wall Street Journal best-seller list and at # 4 on The New York Times best-seller list. His books have been translated into numerous foreign languages including German, Italian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Croatian, Bulgarian, Yiddish, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Czech, and French. Salvatore's first published novel, The Crystal Shard from TSR in 1988, became the first volume of the acclaimed Icewind Dale Trilogy and introduced an enormously popular character, the dark elf Drizzt Do'Urden. Since that time, Salvatore has published numerous novels for each of his signature multi-volume series including The Dark Elf Trilogy, Paths of Darkness, The Hunter's Blades Trilogy, and The Cleric Quintet. His love affair with fantasy, and with literature in general, began during his sophomore year of college when he was given a copy of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings as a Christmas gift. He promptly changed his major from computer science to journalism. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications from Fitchburg State College in 1981, then returned for the degree he always cherished, the Bachelor of Arts in English. He began writing seriously in 1982, penning the manuscript that would become Echoes of the Fourth Magic. Salvatore held many jobs during those first years as a writer, finally settling in (much to our delight) to write full time in 1990. The R.A. Salvatore Collection has been established at his alma mater, Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, containing the writer's letters, manuscripts, and other professional papers. He is in good company, as The Salvatore Collection is situated alongside The Robert Cormier Library, which celebrates the writing career of the co-alum and esteemed author of young adult books. Salvatore is an active member of his community and is on the board of trustees at the local library in Leominster, Massachusetts. He has participated in several American Library Association regional conferences, giving talks on themes including "Adventure fantasy" and "Why young adults read fantasy." Salvatore himself enjoys a broad range of literary writers including James Joyce, Mark Twain, Geoffrey Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dante, and Sartre. He counts among his favorite genre literary influences Ian Fleming, Arthur Conan Doyle, Fritz Leiber, and of course, J.R.R. Tolkien. Born in 1959, Salvatore is a native of Massachusetts and resides there with his wife Diane, and their three children, Bryan, Geno, and Caitlin. The family pets include three Japanese Chins, Oliver, Artemis and Ivan, and four cats including Guenhwyvar. When he isn't writing, Salvatore chases after his three Japanese Chins, takes long walks, hits the gym, and coaches/plays on a fun-league softball team that includes most of his family. His gaming group still meets on Sundays to play.

With our friend Evelina guiding pronunciation and cultural nuance, we pull together a traveler's toolkit you can use the moment you land: simple greetings (hei, moikka), how to say sorry and excuse me, the “please” workaround with kiitos, and the power duo missä on… and on to find bathrooms, train stations, airports, cafes, and more.We keep things practical and warm. You'll learn to order confidently—yksi kahvi/tee/vesi, kiitos—and to spot the words that unlock your day: vessa, juna-asema, lentoasema, kahvila, ravintola. We also share the secret sauce to sounding local: noniin, the multi-tool filler that fits nearly every moment, from rallying your friends to nodding along with a story. Along the way, we taste our way through Finland: the comfort of karjalanpiirakka, the sweetness of pulla, the debate over salmiakki, and why Fazer chocolate sits perfectly between Swiss and Belgian styles. Expect pronunciation tips on double letters and the ä vowel, plus the legendary phrase kuusi palaa that proves context is everything.Beyond language, we celebrate what keeps us returning: Santa's Lapland roots, reindeer on quiet roads, the wow of the northern lights, and the radical shift between midnight sun and winter darkness. These rhythms shape how Finnish feels in your mouth and in your day. Whether you're planning a first trip to Helsinki or polishing your phrasebook for a Lapland adventure, this guide helps you speak clearly, order kindly, and enjoy more of what makes Finland special.If you loved this, follow The Romies, subscribe for more traveler-friendly language guides, and leave a review—what Finnish word will you try first?Thanks for your ongoing support!http://paypal.me/TheROAMiesAlexa and RoryThe ROAMiesPlease subscribe, rate and share our podcast!

Episode 384: Driving the prairie roads south of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, your eyes adjust to an endless sea of grass and sky, where grain elevators rise like sentinels and ragged lines of poplar windbreaks whisper in the steady wind. It's a landscape that makes you feel both small and free—until, in the middle of the wheat-coloured plains, you come upon a steel-hulled ship sitting high and dry on the grass. This is the Sontiainen, built by Finnish immigrant Tom Sukanen, who spent years constructing it here, hundreds of kilometres from salt water, in hopes of sailing it home to Finland. What sounds like the beginning of a folk tale is entirely true: the man, the ship, and his dream were real—and so was the heartbreak that followed.
