I am delighted that the execution of Arndt Pakurinen 60 years

The need to do
what they deem necessary
Erkki Hartikainen 19.06.2021
has sadly bothered me for part of my life. Don’t be surprised if
you acquire such needs for yourself.
In my youth, I had a real need to move from heavy rural areas to
trained positions, where I then lived, but mostly in the wrong
position at the wrong time.
When I retired, I found myself doing things where I could easily
spend my time. When composing tangos (Muse Score) time passes,
and what I do is unnecessary, but I do from time to time wonder
if it would be more comfortable to do something else.
To do the rest, I was moved by this rare disease, but as long as
my right butt doesn’t irritate sitting on a pillow in a good
office chair, I’ve taken a nap.
Medications for treating the disease wake me up at five in the
morning, but despite the hot day, there was cool outdoor air
this morning. Four rabbits like this (in Helsinki).
The need for
pain medication suddenly ended so I didn’t even go to the
health center
Erkki Hartikainen 18.06.2021
These very rare diseases can come as a surprise.
Pain management
Erkki Hartikainen 17.06.2021
My rare hereditary wound infection would need a severe

I will try to get the right painkiller tramadol for it tomorrow,
but I will hardly be given it from the guess center.
Screaming Somali

city rental apartments lower the price of owner-occupied

They don’t even scream in their own yard but scream around.
In addition, Somalis are multiplying rapidly and are being
provided for free in this country.
The culmination of all this is that Helsinki is gaining the most
stupid mayor of all time as a result of the Coalition Party's
election victory, who thinks that this country needs more
immigrants.

I am leaving for my home region for

various such disputes, and this time too I am threatened with
excessive and incorrectly issued tolls.
In the proposal, forest transport is arranged by building a
small stretch of road (the controversy has lasted half a
century), but a forest expert suggests me a fee for a deserted
house on an acre, but nothing is tried to charge for the nearest
house because another deserted house belongs to a forest
property.

About poverty
6/10/2021
I have moved in patched clothes and ragged shoes in my youth,
but I have suffered very little from actual hunger. Luckily,
apple oatmeal was cheap during my studies at Porthania Café.
I have also been able to combat the so-called the effects of the
communist persecution (there was persecution, although I am
still a Free Member of the Social Democratic Party).
There has been some real estate accumulation, but while
supporting others, the class account has long had several
thousand in debt.
So I will die poor and in many ways sick, which is not as rare
in this country as the government thinks. However, the parties
of the rich puppies lead opinion polls.

Mood and brain
care
Erkki Hartikainen 07.06.2021
I am one of those people who is helped by mood-enhancing drugs.
The most effective non-drug drug is amitriptyline. Tramadol
would be better because it also takes away the pain, but it is a
weak opiate and can only be obtained from private orthopedists.
Now I have been struck for the second time with a ulcerative
dermatitis, which is helped by the best high doses of cortisone
(in the form of prednisolone). Unfortunately, health centers
dare to give it only in insignificantly small batches.
The properties I own (which no one even uses) are currently
demanding money and should not be sold because they make almost
no money when they are located in a small town.
The money has also been spent on the electronics hobby of a
relative with mild autism and Asperger.
Fortunately, a fourteen-year-old boy is now allowed to go to
school in a small group and no longer has to be in special
education where he had nothing to do because teachers had to
spend their time teaching weaker students.
No one needs to be taught mathematics and physics to the boy,
but the so-called real subjects have required home schooling.
As a retired teacher, I continue to wonder why all sorts of
needles are still taught in schools (I taught there mainly
mathematics and later for adults information technology).
The boy always has a very powerful laptop in his backpack, and
he has socialized other faceted computers from me. He can also
do business with the computer at school, where he can find the
answer to any question. He is taught English at school, but
because of electronics he has learned quite a lot of German.
You can get almost any technology from Germany, even if the
Electron Tubes come from Russia. They are no longer made by a
few countries, although no equally good sound is produced by any
other device except the computer’s Muse Score, with which I
compose the tangos.
As my financial situation improves (I am old, as long as I do
not die before that), I seek private treatment for my new
illnesses.

Why you can't
even saw concrete elements
4/1/2021
A lot of clay is being built here in Uusimaa. The concrete piles
at the bottom of the building are sown to a suitable length with
a chainsaw.
At the same sawmill, the concrete elements of buildings to be
demolished could also be turned into many kinds of new ones.
If the concrete element is wide, it could be sawn to fit
vertically.
Raising the concrete element could be done by sawing slices from
the old elements to the new elements.
The elements could also be raised by casting concrete platforms
into them.
The elements could be sawn into poles and even into strips
suitable as crabs.
This is written without thinking at all. A fifteen minute break
would result in a much longer list of uses. Once the paving
stones have been imported from China to Kiuruvesi, concrete
elements could be exported to China, which could be used to make
road surfaces for warm climates.
What could be done about them in the Sahara?

Furniture
upholstery
24.05.2021
We found an Ikea office chair with a dirty fabric on the
transfer platform.
When I thought the chair fit right next to this computer, I
decided to curtain it with black faux leather (original
color).
I do not recommend this job to the faint of heart or to those
who work.
When I’m a low-retirement old man who barely manages to do
things like this, I upholstered my chair.
The backrest was slightly better than the seat, as there were
fewer foam pads in the backrest.
When the seat of the chair is sprung and there are rollers
under it, I have taken the chair as my office chair. In this
way, in the time of the Corona, it cannot be criticized by
others.
The task of the chair performs exactly as I had thought.
Cleaning faux leather is much easier than removing, washing
and putting furniture back with a stapler.

shopping does not work well in capitalism
5/19/2021
In Finland, mainly Verkkokauppa.com works well. One reason for
this is that it has its own post office in Helsinki.
Usually, the sale of small businesses offering e-commerce
means that the goods are ordered from another supplier who
already orders them from places like China.
Large companies have moved to the online store mainly those
goods that are not worth keeping on the shelves of shopping
malls.
Not even Helsinki can get all the necessary goods quickly.

Posture swelling occurs in me when I get up from bed to stand.
There is usually talk of benign dizziness.
I have had even worse postural dizziness in the past. As I

fell to the floor, after which I vomited.
Since I also have muscle stiffness, I have a diarrhea that is
known to also be used for postural dizziness.
Currently, I also have a vulnerable dermatitis that causes
fatigue. The wisest is to sit or walk. If fatigue is
eliminated with a nap, dizziness and muscle tension will
disappear for a while.
For dermatitis, I have heavy creams and courtesan tablets.

Why
America’s record godlessness is good news for the nation
04/25/2021
The
secularization of U.S. society — the waning of religious faith,
practice and affiliation — is continuing at a dramatic and
historically unprecedented pace. While many may consider such a
development as cause for concern, such a worry is not warranted.
This increasing godlessness in America is actually a good thing,
to be welcomed and embraced.
Democratic societies that have experienced the greatest degrees
of secularization are among the healthiest, wealthiest and
safest in the world, enjoying relatively low rates of violent
crime and high degrees of well-being and happiness. Clearly, a
rapid loss of religion does not result in societal ruin.
For the first time since Gallup began tracking the numbers in
1937, Americans who are members of a church, synagogue or mosque
are not in the majority, according to a Gallup report released
this week. Compare today’s 47% to 1945, when more than 75% of
Americans belonged to a religious congregation.
This decline in religious affiliation aligns closely with many
similar secularizing trends. For example, in the early 1970s,
only one in 20 Americans claimed “none” as their religion, but
today it is closer to one in three. Over this same time period,
weekly church attendance has decreased, and the percentage of
Americans who never attend religious services has increased from
9% to 30%.
In 1976, nearly 40% of Americans said they believed that the
Bible was the actual word of God, to be taken literally. Today
only about a quarter of Americans believe that, with slightly
more decreeing the Bible is simply a collection of fables,
history and morality tales written by men. And the percentage of
Americans who confidently believe in God’s existence, without a
doubt, has declined from 63% in 1990 to 53% today.
Fears that this rise of irreligion might result in the
deterioration of our nation’s moral fiber — and threaten our
liberties and freedoms — are understandable. Such concerns are
not without historical merit: The former Soviet Union was a
communist country deeply rooted in atheism and was one of the
most corrupt, bloody regimes of the 20th century. Other
atheistic authoritarian regimes, such as the former Albania and
Cambodia, were equally crooked and vicious.
But here’s the thing — they were all godless dictatorships that
tried to forcibly destroy religion by persecuting the faithful,
actively oppressing religious institutions, and making a
demagogic cult out of their thuggish rulers. Such coercive
secularization is, indeed, something to dread.
However, there is another, alternative kind of secularization,
one that emerges organically, amid free and open societies where
human rights, including religious freedom, are upheld and
respected. Many societies qualify for this label — including
those in Japan, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, the Czech
Republic, Australia, Canada and Uruguay, among many others. In
these places, religion is not actively repressed, nor do
governments promote secularization. And yet, it occurs simply
because the people living in these societies lose interest in
the whole religious enterprise.
Organic secularization can occur for many reasons. It happens
when members of a society become better educated, more
prosperous, and live safer, more secure and more peaceful lives;
when societies experience increases in social isolation; when
people have better healthcare; when more women hold paying jobs;
when more people wait longer to get married and have kids. All
of these, especially in combination, can decrease religiosity.
Another major factor is the ubiquity of the internet, which
provides open windows to alternative worldviews and different
cultures that can corrode religious conviction — and allows
budding skeptics and nascent freethinkers to find, support and
encourage one another.
In the United States, these factors are further compounded by
strong backlashes against the religious right, the
evangelical-Republican alliance, conservative religion’s
anti-gay agenda and the Catholic Church’s sexual-abuse scandals.
This has resulted in “the winds of secularization … swirling
like never before,” Ryan P. Burge, a political scientist,
recently said.
Fears of atheistic authoritarianism aside, some may worry about
religious organizations fading away because they do so much
good. They do engage in a tremendous amount of charitable work
that includes holding food drives and setting up soup kitchens
and homeless shelters. However, such welcomed charity is
ultimately an altruistic response to symptoms, not a structural
cure for root causes.
This is why highly secular democracies do a much better job of
ameliorating homelessness and poverty by employing decidedly
secular solutions, such as responding with rational social
policies and wise economic strategies, and setting up more
responsive institutions. Affordable housing and subsidized
healthcare do a far better job of alleviating the suffering of
the poor and the sick than faith-based charities.
Secularity is highly correlated with a host of moral
orientations that will markedly improve our nation. For
instance, secular people — when compared to their religious
peers — are far more likely to understand and respect the
scientific method, which results in their increased willingness
to get vaccinated, for instance, and adhere to empirically
grounded health recommendations, a rational orientation that
saves lives. Secular people are also more supportive of sex
education, which reduces unwanted pregnancies and sexually
transmitted diseases.
Research shows that secular people are more likely to support
women’s reproductive rights, universal healthcare, gay rights,
environmental protections, death with dignity, gun safety
legislation and treating drug abuse as a medical rather than
criminal problem — all of which will serve to increase dignity,
liberty and well-being in America.
The organic secularization we are experiencing in the United
States is a progressive force for good, one that is associated
with improved human rights, more protections for planet Earth
and an increased sociocultural propensity to make this life as
fair and just as we can — in the here and now — rather than in a
heavenly reward that fewer and fewer of us believe in.

You
don’t need a faith to find the meaning of life
04/24/2021
There is a rich philosophy available to
everyone who lacks narrative and vocabulary to make sense of
life and death: humanism. This is the broad non-religious
tradition, stretching back to Aristotle and beyond, which also
owns the ideas of love, compassion, truth, justice and hope,
which also has ceremonies and builds communities. The difference
is that it recognize itself as an ever-evolving conversation,
always open to question and with no gatekeepers, no single light
or way.

Arkansas
Creationism Bill Defeated in Tight Vote
April
22, 2021 American Atheists State Legislation
Added 04/23/2021
Little Rock, Arkansas—Today, the
church/state separation watchdog American Atheists praised the
lawmakers on the Arkansas Senate Education Committee who
rejected the controversial creationism bill (HB 1701) in a 3-3
vote yesterday evening. The Arkansas House had passed this
unconstitutional bill on April 7, drawing national criticism and
condemnation.
Both Arkansas Department of Education Assistant Commissioner
Stacy Smith and Senator Linda Chesterfield noted the
impossibility of teaching a single creationist myth that isn’t
based on a particular religious tradition. “There’s lots of
creation theories out there [according to] different religions,”
said Smith. Senator Chesterfield noted problems arising from
Buddhist, Muslim, or Hindu public school instructors teaching
their own creationist myths to Christian children.
“This is a victory for religious freedom and for students and
teachers of all faiths—including Christianity—as well as
atheists and nonreligious people,” said Alison Gill, Vice
President for Legal and Policy at American Atheists, who
submitted testimony. “As the Christian resident who testified
put it, Arkansas should not be ‘turning religion into science.’”
Representative Mary Bentley, the bill’s sponsor, admitted the
proselytizing nature of the bill during her comments. “We see
that the heavens declare the glory of God,” she said, citing
Psalms 19:1. Failing to name any contemporary scientists who
advocate creationism, she cited theist Sir Isaac Newton, “who
started the scientific revolution back quite a few centuries
back [sic].”
“When you have to go all the way back to the 17th century to
justify your creationism bill, you know your argument is
doomed,” said Nick Fish, president of American Atheists.
“Thankfully, Arkansas schools’ science programs will remain in
the 21st century.”
“By rejecting this creationism bill, Arkansas will be spared
unnecessary lawsuits that would drain needed resources from an
educational system already ranked near the bottom by measures of
student attainment. Lawmakers did the right thing. This bill was
unconstitutional through-and-through,” said Gill.
HB 1701 is not the first attempt to legislate creationism in
Arkansas. In McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education (1982), a
federal court struck down Arkansas Act 590 of 1981, an infamous
creationism law. “Since creation science is not science, the
conclusion is inescapable that the only real effect of Act 590
is the advancement of religion,” Judge Overton wrote in the
decision.
“Arkansas already had a creationism bill, and we made national
news, and it was not good national news,” Senator Chesterfield
reminded her colleagues during the hearing.
“Hopefully, this is the last time we hear about an
unconstitutional creationism bill coming out of Little Rock,”
said Fish. “Arkansas lawmakers need to find ways to improve
public education, not impose their religion on it.”
Creativity
led to the survival of Homo sapiens, a new genetic study shows
Published on 04/21/2021

After the
most creative, sociable, and physically robust homines sapientes
migrated from Africa 65,000–55,000 years ago, they gradually
displaced Neanderthals and other human species, all of which
became extinct approximately 40,000 years ago.
At Tampere
University, researchers studied the evolution of genetic
networks of creativity from chimpanzees and Neanderthals to
behaviourally modern humans (Sapiens) and identified the genes
of creativity that distinguished them from Neanderthals and
chimpanzees. The new discovery will help to understand what
makes us human and why we did not become extinct like the
Neanderthals.
The genetic study is based on the unique data from the
Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns study (LASERI).
LASERI researchers identified 267 genes affecting emotional
responsiveness, self-control, and self-awareness which are only
found in Sapiens.
“These genes prove that the development of creativity was the
‘secret weapon’ in the evolution and survival of Sapiens which
our cousins the Neanderthals did not have. This remarkable gene
discovery opens a new window into our history and significantly
increases our understanding of the important role the
development of human self-awareness played in evolution,” says
Professor Terho Lehtimäki from Tampere University.
Professors Lehtimäki (genetics) and Liisa Keltikangas- Järvinen
(psychology) carried out the project with their colleagues in
Finland (LASERI research group), the United States (neuroscience
and palaeoanthropology) and Spain (artificial intelligence
research).
Discovered
genes regulate human adaptation
The 267 genes now identified were found
in a larger group of 972 genes previously identified by the same
research group.
“Together, these 267 genes account for almost all of the
congenital variations in temperament and personality traits that
regulate human adaptation to changes in the environment, such as
how people adapt to unpredictable threats like climate change,
infectious diseases, social conflicts and reduced access to the
resources humans need for survival,” Lehtimäki says.
The results of the study were published in the prestigious
Nature Molecular Psychiatry journal under the title Evolution of
genetic networks of human creativity.
The article is the fifth publication by the same research group
in a series describing the genetic structure of human
temperament, character traits, and personality.
The study compared the evolution of genes
The evolution of the 267 genes identified in the study were
compared between chimpanzees, Sapiens’ DNA and ancient DNA from
extinct Neanderthals found in Eurasia and Europe.
“We discovered that genes specific to modern humans encode a
brain network of self-awareness and regulate processes that give
Sapiens the ability and ‘secret weapon’ to be creative in the
narrative arts and sciences. It also enables Sapiens to be more
social and to live longer by being more resistant to ageing,
injury and disease,” Lehtimäki explains.
After the most creative, sociable, and physically robust homines
sapientes migrated from Africa 65,000–55,000 years ago, they
gradually displaced Neanderthals and other human species, all of
which became extinct approximately 40,000 years ago.
Regulating
the expression of protein coding genes was the key
Most of the genes distinguishing
Sapiens from Neanderthals and chimpanzees are RNA-derived
regulatory genes, not DNA-derived protein coding genes.
Of the genes unique to Sapiens, 95% are not protein coding but
mostly associated with long non-coding RNAs (70%) in the genetic
network that regulates human self-awareness.
“Most of the protein coding genes of Sapiens, Neanderthals and
chimpanzees are similar, meaning that what distinguishes these
species from each other is the regulation of the expression of
their protein coding genes,” Lehtimäki says.
Sapiens
learn and adapt
The multidisciplinary study combines
the latest methods in molecular genetics, psychology,
neuroscience, palaeoanthropology, and computer science.
“Our group was able to replicate the results based on Finnish
data in most other cultures. We did this with a genetic and
detailed psychological analysis covering the entire genome of
the people studied, which was combined with a new type of
computational method using artificial intelligence,” says
Lehtimäki.
“Our genes do not dictate or determine our behaviour meaning
that we can learn from experience and adapt our behaviour,”
Lehtimäki explains.
“Human creativity, sociality and healthy longevity increased in
response to the need to adapt to harsh and diverse conditions
and to communicate in large social groups 400,000–100,000 years
ago. Today, we are facing similar challenges due to the COVID-19
pandemic and must adapt creatively, just as our ancestors did,
to the challenges of their time,” says Lehtimäki.

Third
waves of the pandemic are prolonging restrictions on movement
and continue to subdue global energy demand
04/19/2021
But
stimulus packages and vaccine rollouts provide a beacon of hope.
Global economic output is expected to rebound by 6% in 2021,
pushing the global GDP more than 2% higher than 2019 levels.
Our
planet, do not trust us as responsible consumers
The legacy of a pandemic can be
this: climate hope is worth putting into structural
decision-making.
Jussi Pillinen 04/18/2021
A responsible consumer buys an
electric car or a hybrid, not a petrol car whose emissions
plunge steam into the planet’s stove.
The responsible consumer buys a fish with a sign of
sustainable fishing and not a canned species that rumors the
spirits of dead dolphins. The responsible consumer acquires
the used one, compares the origin, sorts and exchanges the
party in Brooklyn for a family cottage in Saimaa (Finland).
The environmental crisis is resolved when enough people start
behaving like a responsible consumer - isn’t that so. Is not
that right?
Marja Sannikka
should be convicted of human rights crimes
Erkki Hartikainen 4/17/2021
I have not seen anything other in her programs than the final
words of the yesterday's program, but they could already be
condemned.
I were by Sannikka certainly condemned on the grounds that I am
still alive at the age of 78, although just now I have to eat
tablets against vipera berus,
a rare autoimmune disease, because they are the only way to get
the correct doses of cortisone in Finland.
It is strange that there are more billionaires in the Communist
Party-led China than in the United States.
Fortunately, there are only a few of them in Finland and they
are also sane people.
In terms of evolution, man is quite similar to that in the Dark
Ages. The future of humanity is remarkably difficult to predict.
The capitalist economic system has escaped control of societies,
regardless of who runs the societies. The worst things are in
Africa, where almost anything can happen.
There are, however, some Neanderthal people in the mind of
Caucasians who might have been a better ruler of the world than
modern man. Unfortunately, the last ice age killed the last
Neanderthals.
I don’t think there would be billionaires in Neanderthal
societies.
The former leader
of the Finnish People First party is accused of violating the
peace of religion
04/08/2021
Geurt Marco de Wit has been charged
in the Pirkanmaa District Court.
The accused acts have taken place in the last couple of years in
Tampere and Helsinki.
At that time, Marco de Wit was the leader of the People's First of
Finland party and a candidate for parliament.
He is also accused of violating the
peace of religion. According to the prosecutor, he has publicly
slandered and desecrated what Islamic and Jewish religious
communities consider sacred.
The
school system violates human rights by feeding children lies
3/4/2021
The most absurd message of Easter is that surrogacy can
compensate for human rights crimes of other people. For example,
the overthrow of one tyrant does not make innocent of those who
have implemented horrors.
The most absurd is to promise a non-existent posthumous life to
believers who have turned back to religion.
Religions are humanity’s largest and most lucrative criminal
organization.
Mass
murders in Finnish civil war of 50 000 poor people.
Note:
The current human rights legislation is very poor!
If the immune system is weak, you can get common diseases.
If your immune system is too
strong, you may develop a Pyoderma gangraenosum which is not based
on bacteria or viruses at all.
The immune system can be suppressed
with a cortisone-like substance called Prednisone, but it is
only given for about six days.
The rash should then be treated with a cream containing tacrolimus.
Two nights after stopping cortisone
treatment, I couldn’t sleep at all because of the pain caused by
the rashes. I refuse to eat ibuprofen
as it is very unhealthy. Decent painkillers are only available
from orthopedists because they are a weak opiates. Before the
major back surgery, I ate it for a year, as did my brother.
This drug did not cause addiction
to either species, and it is unfortunate that drug users prevent
the use of the best painkiller.
The last night I was not to sleeping. I look forward to the
next.
Yes, I also have several cortisone creams and I put my hope to
them.
The disease is very rare, but I have suffered it before so I got
from a doctor a right medicines.
I can not tell what I am doing just now because doctors will
prevent the selling of the medicine if they know that you can
buy it without receipt of doctor.
Why
aren’t even common sense required of ship captains?
Erkki Hartikainen March 26, 2021
Attempts are being made to dismantle the Suez Canal blocked
container ship for the third day: Shipping companies will
soon have to consider touring Africa
If the canal is not opened quickly, some cargo ships are
likely to have to circumnavigate Africa.
I wonder if an ordinary Savolainen would be intelligent to
lift a few containers off the ship, in which case it would
detach itself.
How
many innocent people have been sentenced to death for murder
Erkki Hartikainen 03/25/2021
A lot. Even estimating the magnitude is impossible. Fortunately,
there is no death penalty in Finland during peace.
I try to avoid hearing the morning and evening nonsense on TV,
let alone watching the nonsense. I would love to watch Ella
because she is beautiful, but I don’t want to hear nonsense.
Accidentally, however, I heard nonsense that made me write
this.
Reflecting on how it would be possible to stop miscarriages of
justice I have come to the conclusion that if the criminals
would act wisely, could be sentenced to only the wrong people,
and in this case even the laws learned by heart prosecutors
and judges could begin to think.
I urge criminals to find out how health professionals protect
themselves during the Corona period. In fact, I can give just
a few tips.
Use a light blue surgeon mask.
Wear eye color changing
glasses.
Keep as plain a hat as possible
and cover (if possible) everything in your hair.
Wash the soles of the shoes
with 70% isopropanol. The shoes must be as quiet as
possible.
As the top garment, wear the
clothes you look most used and wash them before you commit
a crime. Also wear a t-shirt that is not visible from the
neckline.
Recycle clothing as soon as
possible.
Leave the hair of someone you
want to blame at the crime scene. DNA can be determined
from hair. The hair must be the hair of someone other than
a permanent resident.
Prolonged monitoring will
ensure that eyewitnesses do not move around the crime
scene.

What
drugs are used in Heaven
Erkki Hartikainen 03/09/2021
Tobacco is dangerous to the lungs and alcohol causes deaths.
These drugs are being weaned in Heaven.
Probably a blissful feeling is achieved with opiates.
Sometimes switch to other substances, close to stimulants.
Unfortunately, Yahweh is in great difficulty in maintaining
the blissful existence of people.
For this reason, there is another place for sober people,
Hell. It is watched there that sobriety is maintained. You can
have sex in Hell no matter how much, because sexually
transmitted diseases are treated right away.
HIV patients are transited to Heaven to the temptation of
Yahweh.

The terrible laws of Moses, which killed a very large number
of people (even in Finland), are quite generally considered to
have been brought by the high priest Ezra from Babylon.
The Greek, on the other hand, wrote the tale of Jesus, and the

was different from the laws of Hammurabi.
The name of the paradox is wrong. The correct name of the
paradox is
"stupid
philosophers paradox"
If an ordinary man hears the sentence "this sentence is
false" he or she asks:
"which
sentence?"
If I will say that
"the header of
this article is false"
what you are saying? Probably you are answering that
"there is the
liar paradox"
and possibly you are continuing telling what the liar paradox
is saying.
The heading is a a name of an article and the names are not true
or false.
"this sentence is
false"
is saying nothing, if you are not telling which
sentence pronoun "this" refers.
If you are saying "I Am lying now" the situation is
same.
If you are sayign "I am lying always" nobody
is believing what you say.
Philosphers have written book on Liar paradox but it has been
waste of time.
There
are strange notions about mathematicians
Erkki Hartikainen 02/27/2021
I happen to be a pretty bad mathematician myself.
Nevertheless, I am very intelligent and multi-talented.
By the time I started studying math, it was going to be
studied by those whose energy was not enough to go to study
something better paid.
When I'm a mathematician, I feel a large number of
mathematicians. I don’t think they stand out from other people
in any other respect than that they have a reasonably good
memory.
It has even been studied that math required the most external
memory before. I think this requirement has since been
relaxed.
As such a person almost falling to the grave, I watch serials
on the computer featuring mathematicians. One of them features
an unemployed mathematician. I have never known an unemployed
mathematician.
It also features a top mathematician who makes computer
programs resembling artificial intelligence. My retirement
position was a programming teacher, although before retiring
part-time I also did statistical research with SAS software. A
programmer does not have to be a good mathematician.
I was called a robot in college, but only because I was a
pretty tough person at the time. I remember being stiff on a
television show as well. Later, when I had to practice
teaching, I wasn’t stiff on a television show.
My studies in philosophy and computer science went
brilliantly, my studies in philosophy because the
mathematician Oiva Ketonen, who was a professor of philosophy
and demanded a hard outdoor reading, did not answer my
criticism.
Philosophy was then also studied by Ketonen's son (a
schoolboy), who became a professor of mathematics in
California and a companion kite.
I would have gotten into medicine if I had bothered to study
physics and chemistry then, even though I now have the
qualifications to teach them.
Good thing I didn't make it. I don’t think I’m in that
profession by nature. Admittedly, I don’t even have a teaching
profession, which I did two-thirds of my bakery work.
I made some improvements to the position of atheists as a
politician, even though I don’t even think of being a
politician.
The worst thing in my life has been that I have already 78 -
years old.
My
equipment is missing the device
Erkki Hartikainen 2/26/2021
with which I could make copies of my dreams. I don't really
remember nice dreams. Instead, I remember nightmares all too
well.
If you are asking the purpose of the life from people you
have different answers. There are a lot research of such
things.
But is we think that the life is one phenomenon of the
nature, the phenomenons of the nature have only causes, not
purposes. Purposes belong to individuals,

substance has not been available for a long time. Fortunately,

Why
science, which could be called personal chemistry, is
particularly prejudiced
12/28/2020
Some prejudices
Man does not
want to be alone
A person is
not alone if he lives with others
Loneliness
causes the same illnesses as excessive involvement
And so on.
Of all the sciences, personal chemistry violates worst´the
principle called the Hume’s guillotine. It is
probably unknown to modern science. You will become a
scientist with qualities other than intelligence.
According to Hume’s guillotine, or Hume’s law, moral rules
cannot be derived from facts.
Nor can they lead from people’s feelings.
Personal chemistry is using small samples and is not
interested to examine independent assumptions. Personnel
should be required to have a sufficient number of statistical
study weeks and should be able to use the methods with a free
program available on the Internet.
Particularly forbidden is factor analysis, which is difficult
to find even with a biggest company Google’s search engine.

Why
am I using Ubuntu and not Windows
Erkki Hartikainen 24.11.2020
Since I don’t play computer
games, I don’t need Windows for anything.
I can't fight Windows viruses,
trojans and other malware all the time.
Ubuntu has always been
free.
Ubuntu updates itself more
smoothly than Windows.
Ubuntu is a much more consistent
operating system based on Linux than Windows, which has a
place in place. Microsoft 's attempt to make Windows Unix -
based failed for these reasons.
I will list more benefits of

Why

HEPA filters are divided into two
classes: HEPA 13 and 14. HEPA 14 is the filter commonly used in
environments that are particularly sensitive to airborne
particles, e.g. healthcare environments and laboratories.
All HEPA 14 filters are tested individually and have at least
99.995% filtration efficiency for 0.1–0.2 µm particles*. It is
the particle size that is most difficult to capture. For larger
as well as smaller particles, the filter has even higher
filtration efficiency.
The influenza B virus is estimated to be about 0.12 ?m and the
new coronavirus at most, 0.16 ?m. They may for some time be
encapsulated in the droplets (about 10 ?m) that spread in the
air when we cough and sneeze as well as in the aerosols (about 1
?m) in our exhaled air. A single breath can contain anywhere
from 1,000 up to 50,000 microdroplets.
While the droplets are in the air for a certain period of time,
it is difficult to know for how long, how far they can move, and
how much is needed to pose a risk of infection.

Not long ago China had the fastest computer of the world with own

United States is trying to protect its own monopolies.
Today Google will use open source Linux android to prevent

Most counties (including Finland) will always support USA.
The monopoly of USA must break with wide spectrum.
Almost all game companies are supporting Microsoft (Windows OS).
I am writing now with Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have almost no use for
windows because I am not using my time to gaming.
The game programming is not difficult (I can more than ten
computer languages). Small Finland is producing games.
Big big China can create more games for Ubuntu than the other side
of the word for Windows. Programmers in China have much more
intelligence than programmers of other side of the world.
The commercial programs are very easy to translate from source
code to functioning programs for Ubuntu (I can do that).
China can create better computer search engine than Google.
China can begin to product processors which can compete with Intel
and AMD. China has a big industry of mother boards

Existential
security: You’re not worried about war or global annihilation.
Formal
education: When more people are trained in the sciences and
humanities, they can better grapple with not having all the
answers to the biggest questions in life.
Individual
freedom: If there’s no real punishment for not being
religious, people are more likely to embrace non-religiosity.
Religious
options: If multiple religions are vying for your affection,
it’s easier to say no to all of them.
The construction asserts that you need to set two points (Q and
R = A and B) to yours ruler.
It is not necessary. I made the construction with a ruler
of steeel without any points in the ruler. I can put QR to
my compass and use ruler and compass together, because I have
two hands.
Put ruler through P with one hand and you have two points in
your compass. You can mark A or B using pen in your
harp.
As you see we can do "impossible" constructions because we have no
need to do them to sand.
The crucial idea was that I have pen in my compass.

Air purifiers with HEPA filtration efficiently capture particles
the size of (and far smaller than) the virus that causes COVID-19,
and many readers have asked whether air purifiers can help protect
against infection. The answer is yes, in theory. The CDC believes
the virus is mainly transmitted by person-to-person contact, but
there is growing evidence that it may also be transmitted through
the air. If that is confirmed to be the case, HEPA filters will
capture airborne coronaviruses.
The virus that causes COVID-19 is approximately 0.125 micron (125
nanometers) in diameter. It falls squarely within the
particle-size range that HEPA filters capture with extraordinary
efficiency: 0.01 micron (10 nanometers) and above. Many media
outlets have incorrectly stated that HEPA filters don’t filter
below 0.3 micron and therefore could not capture airborne
coronaviruses. That is flat wrong.
It is absurd that Finland will acquire American fighters with EUR
10 billion.
Here are some reasons why Russia is not a threat to Finland:
1. Russia’s current leadership is smart people.
2. Conquered Finland would be of no use to
Russia. On the contrary (as Putin is well aware), the Finns would be
very difficult to control and Finland has nothing that Russia could
not buy even from Finland.
3. The fact that Russia took over the
Russian-majority part of Ukraine and Crimea is due solely to the
fact that these regions are strongly Russian-majority. Putin’s idea
in the conquests was that only in nation states do people not
discriminate against Russians. As for Chechnya in the first place,
we are talking about Russia.
4. There are at most as many Russians in Finland
as there are Swedes in Finland. Finnish Russians want Finland to
join Russia as little as Finnish Swedes want Finland to join Sweden.
As for joining Finland to rich Norway, the idea is good, but we are
not good for Norwegians.
5. When Yeltsin brought the oligarchs to power
and thus stole Russia's national property, I thought that now
America and Russia would become good friends. I made a mistake. With
the Russian threat, America needs intimidation to support the war
industry, which will steal 10 billion from us in the next few years.
6. Russia has a significant arms industry because
it is the world's second largest arms dealer after the United
States. This alone would not be achieved by selling kalashnikovs.
The war ministers of all countries, including Kaikkonen, want
weapons, because otherwise the generals would lose their jobs, not
to mention the sergeants.
7. Today, Russia is Finland's best friend and
important trading partner for Russia.
Where
the sun goes at night (according to the Qur’an)
04/09/2020
There are some verses in the Qur’an that are horribly problematic
for Muslims. These are verses that are so clearly wrong that an
average 10-year-old could spot the errors. The question is, why
don’t grown-up Muslims spot them?
An example is Surah 18. Verse 83 onwards describes Dhul-Qarnayn’s
journey to the setting place of the sun. Verse 86 reads:
“Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it set in
a spring of murky water: Near it he found a People: We said: “O
Zul-qarnain! (thou hast authority,) either to punish them, or to
treat them with kindness.”

GOP Lawmaker: “It is Impossible to Separate Church from State”
02/28/2020
Good god, this man is stupid.
The phrase is on the money because politicians just like him
wanted to promote Christianity in the 1950s. That’s not proof of anything other than Christians always using
the government to advance their religion in a way they would
oppose if anyone else tried the same tactic.
It’s not impossible to separate church and state. Other nations do
it all the time. We’re the idiots who treat the Bible as a
substitute Constitution and pass policy based on what would make
right-wing Christians happy instead of what’s best for the entire
nation.
Alexander Aan (born 1981) is an
Indonesian atheist and ex-Muslim of Minang descent. He was
imprisoned in 2012 for posting comments and images to Facebook
that were judged to be "disseminating information aimed at
inciting religious hatred or hostility" by the Muaro Sijunjung
district court. The sentence sparked national debate and caused
Amnesty International to designate him a prisoner of conscience.
Contents
Prior to his arrest, Alexander was a
civil servant in the Pulau Punjung sub district of West Sumatra
province. Though he had been raised as a Muslim, Alexander raised
doubts about God by age 11,and stopped participating in religious
rituals in 2008.
In January 2012, he posted to an atheist Facebook group he had
joined, stating that God did not exist. His post asked, "If God
exists, why do bad things happen? ... There should only be good
things if God is merciful."
He declared heaven, hell, angels, and devils to be "myths".
He also posted an article describing Mohammad as "attracted to his
daughter-in-law".
The posts were seen by the
Indonesian Council of Ulema, who reported him to the police for
blasphemy. On 18 January, an angry mob attacked Alexander on his
way to work, causing police to take him into protective custody.
Two days later, he was charged with
"disseminating information aimed at inciting religious hatred or
hostility", "religious blasphemy", and "calling for others to
embrace atheism".
The district police chief also stated that Alexander had lied on
his application for his government job, claiming to be Muslim.
On 14 June, the Muaro Sijunjung district court found Alexander
guilty of "disseminating information aimed at inciting religious
hatred or hostility" and sentenced him to two and a half years'
imprisonment and a fine of 100 million rupiah (US$10,600). The
charges of religious blasphemy and "calling for others to embrace
atheism" were dropped.
During the sentencing, the presiding judge described
Alexander's actions as having "caused anxiety to the community and
tarnished Islam".] On 31 January 2014, Aan was released from
prison.
Reactions
Alexander's arrest caused "outrage" among
both domestic and international religious freedom activists, and
several petitions were circulated calling for his release.
Setara Institute director Hendardi described the requested
sentence as "excessive", a demonstration of "the arbitrariness of
the law and law enforcement officials", and a violation of the
International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights, to which Indonesia is a signatory.
Amnesty International responded by designating Alexander a
prisoner of conscience, describing the sentence as "a serious
setback for freedom of expression in Indonesia". The organization
called for Alexander's immediate release.
Human Rights Watch stated that Alexander's sentence suggested "a
threat to Indonesia's religious minorities" in light of recent
attacks by extremists.
The Asian Human Rights Commission also called for Alexander's
release, stating that his actions did not "pose a threat to public
order" and were covered by freedom of religion.
Atheist Alliance International began a campaign on Alexander's
behalf, stating that his case "highlights the fundamental
principles of freedom of expression and freedom of conscience and
the discrimination faced by atheists, particularly in Islamic
countries."
An opinion column in The Jakarta Globe described the charges as "a
blight on Indonesia's democratic credentials" and a threat to
Indonesia's attractiveness to foreign investors.
The Islamic Society Forum, a coalition of Islamist groups,
stated that the potential five-year sentence was not enough, and
that Alexander should be executed.
The organization's secretary-general stated, "What he has done
cannot be tolerated... it is important to prevent this group from
spreading atheism in this country."
THE birth on January 11, 1850, of British atheist George William
Foote – founder of the Freethinker – means a lot to me personally.
When I was just 16, growing up in South Africa, an atheist
neighbor, the father of my best friend, gave me my first copy of the
Freethinker, and I was so impressed that, whenever a new issue came
out, it was handed to me by Colin McKenzie, who warned me that, by
possessing copies, I was committing a criminal act, as the
publication had been banned in the country (he received his copies
in the mail direct from London).
Possession of banned material carried a heavy fine in those days of
apartheid and draconian censorship.
One day, in my English class, our teacher asked individual pupils
what careers they would like to pursue after leaving school. I
replied that I would like nothing more than to become editor of the
Freethinker. Horror gripped her and most of my classmates when I
explained the nature of the publication – and from that day on I was
I was branded a communist.
What was then a pipe dream turned to reality 22 years ago when I was
appointed to replace Peter Brearey, who died in the same year. I am
now the Freethinker’s third-longest serving editor.
Foote, who launched the Freethinker in 1881, edited it between its
launch and his death in 1915 – only taking an enforced one-year
break in 1883 to serve a jail sentence for blasphemy.
He was succeeded by Chapman Cohen who served as editor until 1951.
Cohen was named as an “undesirable” by the Nazi regime which
compiled a list of British citizens marked for arrest when Hitler
invaded the UK. That list was known as The Black Book.
To equal Cohen’s 36-year tenure as editor, I will need to continue
the job for another 14 years until I’m 86!
Here’s hoping …

Two identical dogs. They're clones. It's not an uncommon sight in
China where a booming pet market has led breeders to start
cloning.
The company keeps a number of dogs it
refers to as "surrogate mothers." They give birth to clone puppies
ordered by clients. Most are beagles whose mild character is
considered to make it the ideal mother.
The firm has a lab where it cultures the cells needed to create
clones. The process involves removing the nucleus from a dog's egg, and then transplanting the nucleus
of a cell from another dog. These eggs are placed in the wombs of
the surrogate mothers.
Cloning a dog costs about $55,000. This may sound steep but
SINOGENE says it gets inquiries from across China.
Zhao Jianping, the company's deputy general manager,
says the firm is targeting 100 to 200 orders this year, and 300 to
500 annually in a few years. He says demand for the service is
already high and, given the thriving pet industry, it will start
soaring once more people learn about the option.
Xiao Bing and her mother, from the city of Chongqing, where among
the firm's first clients. Their dog, Kandou, is now 10 years old
and has been showing signs of age.
Xiao says the thought of losing Kandou is too much to bear. She
says a clone would make things better.
She and her mother took Kandou to an animal clinic partnered with
SINOGENE. The dog underwent a procedure where it had a few millimeters of skin cut off around its rear
groin. It only took a few minutes. Cells were sent to the firm's
lab in Beijing and Xiao will receive Kandou's
clone in ten months.

I've been part of Putin's opponents all the time. I am
particularly annoyed by Putin's support for the Orthodox Church.
Already at the beginning of Finland's independence, attention was
drawn to the drunkenness and decay of the Orthodox priests.
Putin has been a spy for the then Soviet Union in East Germany. He
therefore has the qualifications required of a CIA agent.
Although professors are laughing to the Putin's studies in the law
school at St. Petersburg State University, he does have a
knowledge base for sabotaging Russia.
Putin stays in power because he has put his bureaucracy improve
the standard of living of ordinary citizens.
Russia has one vast region which, once it has become independent,
would be the richest country in the world: Siberia. Strictly, only
one person has been expelled from Siberia, a politician who began
to gain support for Siberian independence.
Putin's best practices are manifested where his power is more
limited. The Communists have not disappeared from Russia anywhere.
They are found especially in Siberia. There is little awareness in
Finland that if a communist is elected to a prominent position in
any corner of the country, Putin will cancel the election and will
not even allow re-election.
Putin is working hard to bring all the wealth of rich Siberia to
his oligarch friends. In Siberia, privatization is under way
through Putin's atrocities.
Who else would act in his own country except an agent of a foreign
state.

Bass to Glory!

Yesterday and today I listened Reijo Taipale's commemorative
concert. The positive thing was that only a couple of performers
were bad vocalists. Also an accordionist, one of the violin
players and one of the guitarists played well.
Unfortunately, the orchestra was completely lacking in double
bass. The other guitarist had compensated the lack using
electric bass, which he had unfortunately only with a four
strings (not five strings), but he didn't.
I actually have composed a large number of tangos, and at least
almost all have electric bass with five strings. I publish my
tangos as .mid files, from which you can copy music notes and
play them directly with the musescore software.
Hopefully at least the next tango market will use double bass.

Deposition:
Financial Guru Dave Ramsey Pulled Out a Gun During Staff
Meeting
By Sarahbeth Caplin
November 10, 2019
Dave Ramsey, best known for his faith-based financial advice
(that includes wildly misunderstanding poverty), isn’t a fan of
getting mocked online. Nothing weird about that.
But in a 2014 Daily Beast piece highlighting Ramsey’s obsession
with silencing his critics, there was an anecdote that seemed
out of place even for him:
The seeming paranoia of Ramsey’s outburst in the May 12 staff
meeting startled some Lampo employees, but many said they had
come to expect explosive behavior from the boss.
“This is the guy who once pulled a loaded pistol out of a
gift bag to teach us a lesson about gossip,” said one former
employee. “It was bizarre, even for Ramsey.”
The employee who said that wasn’t identified. However, it was
recently confirmed thanks to a lawsuit involving Ramsey suing
another one of his critics.
In that lawsuit, Ramsey is going after another one of his
critics, real estate agent Kevin Paffrath. It led to a
deposition of Jack Boone Galloway Jr., who worked for Ramsey’s
company for nearly two decades.
During the questioning, Galloway was asked if there was any
truth to the anecdote about the pistol. Despite an objection
from the lawyer representing Ramsey’s company, Galloway was
allowed to answer the question: “Yes.”
We’re used to seeing crazy stunts from Christian celebrities to
the point where you have to wonder if they’re all in some
unspoken competition to outdo each other. But a man who pulls
out a weapon, even if as a joke, to speak with employees about
something that upsets him, isn’t someone with good judgment. He
can’t be trusted to manage an office; why would anyone taking
his advice on managing their money?
Still, knowing how evangelical Christians operate, Ramsey will
likely do damage control by issuing a half-hearted apology that
says he’s working on his anger issues, and that he’s putting
his faith in God, and he’ll inevitably be forgiven and
booking speaking engagements with church groups before long.

Maranhao state.
He was a member of Guardians of the Forest, a group formed to
combat logging gangs in the area.
The killing increases concerns about escalating violence against

Just days after he got Sen. Elizabeth Warren to say she’d
consider hiring a Secular Outreach Director for her presidential
campaign, Justin Scott, the Iowa State Director for American
Atheists, had a chance to speak to former Obama Cabinet member
and current presidential candidate Julián Castro during a
meeting at the University of Northern Iowa.
He asked Castro what he would say to Hispanic Americans who are
atheists, how he might bring atheists into his administration,
and how he planned to work with or against the Religious Right.
As with any politician, Castro was careful not to alienate
potential voters, but he made it clear that atheism wasn’t going
to be taboo in his White House.
Sweden was one of the last countries in Europe to abolish
slavery, 14 years after Britain and the other colonial powers.
After year-long investigations and tough debates in the
parliament, in the summer of 1846, a state commission arrived at
the last Swedish colony, Saint Barthélemy in the Caribbean, to
free the last Swedish slaves.
The colony then had 2,497 inhabitants of which 595 were slaves.
The slaves applied to laws other than to other inhabitants. A
slave who committed quite small crimes would be whipped by the
crown's executioner for punishment in a professional manner.
Pregnant women who were whipped lying on their backs would have
a pit for their stomachs, not because they cared about the woman
so much, as if it was so valuable to the slave owner in her
stomach. Slaves were valuable.
After all, Swedish traders were quite modest in the
international slave market. Serious American scientists have
identified a total of 34,941 slave shipments across the
Atlantic. In that base were ten purely Swedish ships. If Swedish
merchants had slaves on a total of about 50 ships, then the
Swedish share was 0.14 percent of all shipments. If ten of them
were Swedish-built, the Swedish part of world trade with slaves
was 0.2 per thousand.
Although the slave ships were not Swedish, the slave trade was
allowed on the Swedish colony until 1846. The Swedes' attitude
to the black slaves was no different from that of other
Europeans at this time.
They are sending missionaries to eastern Germany. A recent study
called Beliefs About God Across Time and Countries found that
52.1% of people asked whether they believed in God identified
themselves as atheists.
This compared with only 10.3% in western Germany. Indeed, the
survey was unable to find a single person under the age of 28 in
eastern Germany who believed in God.
God vs Physics
October 6, 2019 By Bill Flavell
We live on an unstable giant rock hurtling around a humongous
nuclear-powered furnace at 67,000 miles per hour. The rock is
simultaneously spinning on its own axis so we are all subject to
rotational velocities up to 1,000 miles per hour. The rock
itself has a thin crust of solid matter resting on a molten core
of rock, iron and other metals that are always in motion and at
temperatures up to 6,000° Celsius (that’s hotter than the
surface of the sun).
The rock is surrounded by a 300-mile deep layer of gasses
constantly being heated by the nuclear furnace and cooled when
facing away from it. This causes the gasses to move
continuously. Evaporation from large bodies of water means the
gases contain some 40,000,000,000,000,000 gallons of water.
The surprising thing is how tranquil this raging, dynamic system
feels to us most of the time. But the tranquility is punctuated
at intervals by enormous violence. It comes in the form of
floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, and more.
When these events occur some of us may perish, sometimes
thousands of us perish.
These deaths are not meted out by God, but by physics. We cannot
stop these events by holding our hands together and
praying—there are no gods able to cause these disasters and none
able to prevent them. The Earth kills Christians, Muslims, Jews,
Hindus and atheists with equal indifference.
What we can do, is learn how to predict when such horrors will
occur and find a way to escape them. With the help of
super-computers, we are already quite good at predicting the
course of hurricanes and can often give reasonable warning of
tsunamis. But there is a lot more to learn.

How to make a
completely false television program of lies
Erkki Hartikainen September 20, 2019
Yesterday, Prisma (on Finnish Television) presented "a
documentary" with a lies about lies.
Doing so is not at all difficult, on the contrary, quite easy.
The authors of the program interview their acquaintances, who
did not understand anything about it.
Blending art with the program made it a cultural program.
The program succeeded in not interviewing any researchers in the
field. Even not being without such interviews is easy.
One thing left me bothered. How can Finnish television present
such a program at prime time on the number one channel.
Antidepressants
Erkki Hartikainen September 19, 2019
The HS website has a story about antidepressants. Editors should

I am an antidepressant patient of the doctor who has studied all
antidepressants. Ancient amitriptyline has proven to be most
effective. For me, it works.
Tramadol would be an even more effective antidepressant, but as
a weak opiate it is classified as a drug and its use, even as an
analgesic, has decreased.
I ate it a year before my back surgery, and it was even sharper
than the amitriptyline I eat today.
Portland Bans
Discrimination Against Atheists And Agnostics
Oregon’s biggest city is the second in the U.S. to extend

For a long time, I watched a new science fiction movie that
(regular) movie critics had praised.
In addition to the usual crazy memes, what was known as the
so-called the sciences fiction memes are crazy.
Science writers usually know Einstein's narrower theory of
relativity, which even modern physicists find contradictory
nonsense.
As for gravity theory of relativity, it is even crazier than
special relativity. Einstein removes the gravity we all know by
beginning to call it the curvature of space.
There is no such thing as space, but space is a basic set of
mathematics that is really only needed to eliminate the apparent
contradictions of mathematics.
There are many kinds of geometries in mathematics, but no real
mathematician claims that geometries represent true reality.
Many concepts in mathematics can be used especially in physics,
but for example, points and lines are not really real.
Mathematics is not a picture of reality but a way for the human
brain to structure concepts.
I will not go any further, because science has strongly confused
reality with the way the human brain works to structure reality.
Evolution has created a way of structuring reality that has
hitherto been sufficient for human existence for about one
million years. Crocodiles have been around for a very long time.

dissolves in the rain.
In Finland, which is full of trees, a bicycle frame could be
made of wood that does not dissolve in rainwater using current
technology.
happens to fit in with my lifetime. For the first time I saw a
computer while I was studying math at the University of
Helsinki.
The computer was in the possession of the Department of
Mathematics, and the machine cried with the same man who
corrected the Contentsmathematics
students' exams: Jorma Torppa.
As an actuary, I used a fairly basic computer in Fortran, the
first programming language to use English for commands.
Later, I taught a dozen different programming languages, and new
programming languages ??is no longer needed.
Instead, iron is being developed fiercely. In the processor
market, AMD has even outperformed Intel.
I don't write this on any powerhouse because I Contentsdon't
need one anymore. This is a Ryzen 5 machine, and oddly enough,
I'm writing this on Windows 10 with the Bluegriffon WYSIWYG
editor.
The latest MikroBitti introduces computers that cost you several
times the price of this machine.
Expensive machines are not available to the common people, but
computing companies use them for the same purposes as before
when supercomputers were used.
From today's supercomputers, I have not heard any news other
than that the Americans have Contentssucceeded
in developing a computer that is twice as powerful as the most
powerful Chinese machine in the past.
Powerful computers have long been used to make weather
forecasts, and almost everyone has noticed the results as they
follow the weather forecasts.
New technology is also gradually becoming commonplace, thanks to
competition from, for example, AMD and Intel for cheap
processors.Contents
Where society
uses the abilities of its citizens
Erkki Hartikainen 29.8.019
One of my late friends said that there is an oversupply of
geniuses in the world.
Personally, I do not use that saying because there are no
geniuses, but the message is clear: societies use the abilities
of their citizens very selectively. The basics of selection are
complex, but the tendencies of a monkey falling from the tree
and the memes of the community have a strong influence.
One of my (female) bosses said I could do almost anything.
However, I do not worry about the fact that most of my jobs were
unfit for me. Society can get what orders, and it
does not bother me at all, that I have taken care of many tasks
assigned poorly.
In addition to those in power, the dopamine that flows in
people's head affects almost everything the people want.
Fortunately, as I live, our country has become so-called. a
welfare state where basic material needs such as food and
housing are quite well protected. Even the clothing required by
our climate is oversupplied.
If you want to dress the way I was in my youth, it is best to
head to the flea market.
The troubles of old age have led me to sit in front of a
computer and compose some days. I put my compositions as
printable and playable files (midi) on the Internet.
Since I am reconciled among a large number of folk music, my
site is considered, but I do not have a clue as to whether
people are interested of my music.
It does not matter to me whether people are interested in my
music. It's enough for me to like making music myself. The
pension I earn on junk jobs is enough for my livelihood.
Actually, part of composing better to paint pictures, but I have
painted them exclusively for the needs of our families. The
paintings have been made into bitcoins which, by selling to each
other, the rich and the influential are trying to enrich.
The music business sells noise as music because noise is more
commercial than music.
Actually, the only art I use is Swedish criminal literature.
People don't bother to read anything and apparently criminal
reading is a lot of other texts to read.
As my readers know, I can write. However, I have never bothered
to start writing fiction. As one acquaintance (who was trying to
write poems) said, human diversity makes it difficult, in
particular, for emotional products such as poems to succeed.
For this topic I have written before, and then I will continue
writing when I can think of anything else to write about.
The world's most
Christian country is destroying our planet
Erkki Hartikainen August 28, 2019
According to studies, the most Christian country in the world is
Brazil.
The Pope ordered America to the Spanish and Portuguese.
Fortunately, the non-Pope Britons occupied the northernmost part
of the continent, even though they committed a major genocide of
indigenous people.
The world's most Christian country has destroyed the world's
lungs of the Amazon and is using any extinguishing money to
light new fires.
You can see on television that the fires are concentrated on the
edges of former fields, ie they are mainly ignited by farmers.
When farmers do not have enough time to set fire to their jobs,
Brazil hires professional fire-fighters.
My own theory of
gravity
August 28, 2019
My own theory of gravity (which, unlike Tenkanen's theory) is
not Einsteinian, can be found in my long article
Not. We have attraction and repulsion when we are speaking of
electrons and protons and the physics is using words positive
and negative but it is not good language.
Somebody has written that dark matter can have negative
gravitation but this is wrong explanation for the expansion of
the our local universe.
It is not sure that there exists dark matter.
We do not know if the dark matter (if it exists) has
elementary particles.
Is the light
waves in the dark matter?
Erkki Hartikainen August 26, 2019
We do not know that the dark matter exists.
Tommi Tenkanen
August 25, 2019
In Finnish part of this publication we will tell some
thoughts of Dr. Tommi Tenkanen.
Tommi Tenkanen thinks that there is dark matter and that the
dark matter explains the history of our local part of the
universe.
How to get Putin
to accept demonstrations against Putin?
Erkki Hartikainen August 21, 2019
A small Duma -approved entry fee would be charged for attending
a demonstration. The bigger the demonstration, the more it would
produce, it would not be worth collecting fees for too small a
demonstration.
The importance
of memory in writing
Erkki Hartikainen August 21, 2019
When I'm already 77 - years old, I have trouble remembering what
I have recently written. The worst part is, I don't remember to
throw old notes to the trash.
The importance of memory in writing, in movies, etc. is
important in many ways. A Finn, whose name I don't remember,
said that there should not be too many people in a book or
movie. Otherwise people will not be able to read or follow them.
On the other hand, being entertained by heroes and villains
doesn't appeal to me. There are very few heroes and bad villains
in the real world.
If the prevalence of these preferences could be measured by
statistics, their distributions would be in some very common
form (I oppose the normalization of all distributions, instead).
It is known that excessive dopamine in the brain causes hero
worship on the one hand and even schizophrenia on the other.
When I recently due to the expensive foot injury prone position
in bed and read a new Swedish crime novels, to me has come again
to mind the fact that sociology has enough work. For the
schools, I suggest a subject called Social Life.
In crime books, murders are committed on completely different
grounds than in real life.
Ordinary readers are very happy to read books that are not
realistic. On the other hand, readers do not understand the
flight of imagination.
Even the so-called science fiction mainly reproduces itself.
Standing or
sitting
Erkki Hartikainen August 20, 2019
Both are in bad positions. Standing is the worst.
It wasn't until I was 77 that I realized this, because I was
banned from both.
The cause is very common: there are wounds between the toes.
Unfortunately, they do not heal except that I have to lie on my
bed and raise my sore leg.
The gravity pushes the fluid into the wounds and they will not
heal unless the gravity is reduced.
The reason is unknown. The fact that instruction of religions
in UK in sot functioning well is not a news item.
Domains are
malfunctioning
Erkki Hartikainen August 17, 2019
The publication of this magazine has been greatly hampered by
the slow, malfunctioning or non-existent transmission of domain
hosted data.
Unfortunately, all companies selling domain names to businesses
have stopped selling to associations and individuals.
Automatic operation does not
depress you
Erkki Hartikainen August 16, 2019
As a person ages like me, I may have to
think of things that could previously be done
automatically.
At least thinking about me depresses me.
I also know people who are very different
from me.
The problem of crime and
punishment
Erkki Hartikainen 15.9.2019
This
problem is bad especially
In religious countries
In conservative countries.
Crime and Punishment Officers
generally have no training in the philosophy of this
issue.
To make matters worse, some
philosophers become from extreme conservatives or
true believers.
So-called
medicine and pain management
Erkki Hartikainen August 14, 2019
I've been writing medical pain treatments for
irregularity so much that I list here only a few gaps in
training of medical doctors.
But for the first time, a few events in my life.
My big back surgery was done at a time when I was getting
some good painkiller while I was waiting for the surgery
for about a year. Weak opiate tramadol did not cause me
any addiction.
I have no tendency to addiction. I do not use tobacco and
alcohol at all. Other types of patients should be able to
wean from tramadol. Let them give amitriptyline as an
anti-depressant.
Ordinary doctors become more qualified as the professors
of medicine rise in education.
Doctoral education should be given to doctors free of
charge (including salary for the training period) and the
school period should be extended by one year, during which
doctoral students will receive thorough knowledge of
philosophy of science and statistics.
It is necessary to test whether they have learned two
important things during their training:
thinking
must not be based on memes
individual
cases may not be generalized.
After that, speeches about the information gained in
practical work will decrease.
Thirteenth day
Erkki Hartikainen August 13, 2019

when the numbers of day 31 are changed, the day changes
to its opposite.

The tools I use have used become cumbersome, so I make
corrections with the Bluefish editor, which does not put home
directories to everywhere.
Repairs are expected to be completed tomorrow.
Also, splitting files into smaller files should be done.
This file has

Because there are tens of thousands of images, it is impossible
to restore them by repairing this file.
I'll keep trying to solve the problem.

Erkki Hartikainen 7/7/2019
They have even disappeared from Saunalahti's Big G. The

The dentist did
not give a good painkiller
Erkki Hartikainen July 23, 2019
She did not even repair all teeths, but gave the time to the
root treatment in an another place by mid-August. Nor did she
give any painkillers. She was a young woman.
Unfortunately, all the familiar dentists and doctors are the
same kind of retired seniors as I am.
Pain medication
in Finland
Erkki Hartikainen 22.7.2019
As I waited an year as sick waiting for a spine surgery, a
specialist doctor Orthoped dared to prescribe me tramadol, which
is a weak opiate. I I did not become addicted, but my sick leave
life was somewhat humane.
My brother, who had a back surgery, had the same history.
Now I have had a few difficult days. The bad toothache surprised
me. When it's bad, painkillers sold at the pharmacy don't help.
Tomorrow I'll go to the dentist.
Hopefully the cause of the pain can be eliminated. If not,
hopefully I'll get a prescription for tramadol. Tomorrow I'll
tell you what happened.
An all-creator'
creates millions of stil-borns world-wide each
year
This makes such
an alleged "God" the biggest abortionist by far and of
all times
Chris Aable Professor of Psychology and Anthropology
(And singer/songwriter)
By definition an alleged "all-creator" thus "creates"
itself out of nothing, floats around for ions before becoming to
bored or lonely and then "creates" mere mortals to toy with as
if millions of dinosaurs that devoured each other alive isn't
sadistic enough.
Some believers attempt to rationalize this by saying it's our
fault for "sinning" when their alleged "All-knower" not only
knew we would "sin" but millions of other animals have millions
of still-borns each year.
Here again I've heard many "believers" rationalize this
as "population control", which still makes it an unnecessary and
sadistic approach to the problem of "excessive population"
already "created" by their alleged "God".
A seven-year-old child could do a better, more loving
job if given the attributes of "all-knowing, all-loving and
all-powerful.

Poverty
Erkki Hartikainen, July 15, 2019
I was born during World War II in a remote Northern - Savo. I
remember the cough of that time well, and I also got special
information about it because my father was fifteen years in the
social welfare board.
A member of the social welfare board practiced the work of the
local social official, and he was only paid of the official
meeting days.
As far as I know, the poor in Sweden were once treated worse
than in Finland. As a result, the Social Democrats dominated
Sweden for quite a long time. The other parties were able to
control Sweden only after the Social Democrats had made Sweden a
welfare state.
Even worse than in Sweden and Finland they were in Åland. I
ordered Sally Salminen's book Katrina from Ad Libris. The work
is a description of the toughest poverty ever.
It was good that HS raised the writer. Schools should read
Salminen's books, not of Kianto's and Sillapää's.
Realistic
simulations of galaxy formation in f(R) modified gravity
Christian Arnold, Matteo Leo & Baojiu Li
Nature Astronomy (2019)
Abstract
Future astronomical surveys will gather information that will
allow gravity to be tested on cosmological scales, where general
relativity is currently poorly constrained.
We present a set of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations
that follow galaxy formation in f(R) modified gravity models
and are dedicated to finding observational signatures to
help distinguish general relativity from alternatives using
this information.
The simulations employ the IllustrisTNG model and a new
modified gravity solver in AREPO, allowing the interplay of
baryonic feedback and modified gravity to be studied in the same
simulation, and the degeneracy between them in the matter power
spectrum to be resolved.
We find that the neutral hydrogen power spectrum is
suppressed substantially in f(R) gravity, which allows this
model to be constrained using upcoming data from the Square
Kilometre Array.
Disk galaxies can form in our f(R) gravity simulations, even
in the partially screened regime, and their galaxy stellar
properties are only mildly affected.
We conclude that modified gravity allows the formation of
realistic galaxies and leaves observable signatures on large
scales.
The world's
second most lucrative film series
Erkki Hartikainen, July 13, 2016
is a junk in the eyes of an expert.
Of course I mean Star Wars. I looked the trilogy and one extra
part again.
On the other hand, I was watching movies because they annoyed
me.
Of course, movies may have events that are impossible, but the
space heroes, who are modifications of the heroes of wild west
movies annoy a friend of real movies.
As in the wild western films, in these space operas some
individuals lead the course of the events. In the western,
however, there are no wars against the US federal state (which
at the time of the Wild West was not as big as now). The space
operas are fighting against the Milky Way Empire.
This kind of warfare requires spaceships that go much faster
than light. Physics does not know any power that would produce
the energy required.
In the series in the human head is a force that can move
anything. Heroes and heroines are some sort of little gods.
Fortunately, the series is not religious.
The wisdom is to
use Linux
Christians have murdered millions of
people
Erkki Hartikainen, July 12, 2016
Hackers and various deliberate damage makers have taken over
Windows 10. Even any kind of combat programs no longer help.
Hopefully this will overwhelm Microsoft.
Almost everything I can do with Linux. Some things are
complicated to do with Linux, but I can help other things with
some complexity.
It has even been forced to give up Elisa when the disturbances
break into it.
Of course, I'm a special case, because I belong to this planet's
leading atheists. The Christian Bible tells us to kill atheists.
Finnish Christians avoid murdering their opponents, but they do
do a lot of mischief.
If I wrote my memo, it would become a thick book. However, I
will not waste my last years in such a way that there would be
no help for the world.
people during their history than any other group, but today
Christians have a monopoly capitalism, so they can destroy their
opponents using other means.
Ontological materialism defines that substance means
matter. The energy is a fundamental property of the matter.
For the ontological materialism anything immaterial must
be the product of the material. In principle all immaterial
phenomena must be reducible to (explicable by) natural
laws.
Our conscience is a very complicated material structure
mainly in our brains.
Ontological materialism is not using word soul.
Spiritus fortis in ordinary alcohol, and other meaning of the
spirit is mood. There is no spiritual substance.
The old pages had been broken and the removal of the
break-through pages was followed by the collapse of all the
material on Elisa's pages. This caused only occasional pieces
to appear there.
Breaking into new pages is now very difficult.
The reason for this was Elisa's announcement that Big G would
be emptied at the end of August. A huge site needs to create a
new site.
The problem is that a huge number of links have to be renewed.
I'll do this for a few months, and I think everything will be
fine by the end of the year.
Signs of justice

The majority of
Finnish politicians are in favor of passive euthanasia
Erkki Hartikainen June 15, 2016
Passive euthanasia means, for example, that the elderly are
allowed to die for a lack of care for saving on pension funds.
This is especially true for the elderly. I have not written
about this as young age, because until now I'm the old man.
My mother died about three years older than I am now a
university hospital for the reason that he was transferred from
intensive care unit to ward plain. The next morning she was
dead.
Now I have the same illness and it would be totally useless to
go to a regular health station.
I tried on the Internet to find out if I had the gauges I needed
in the metropolitan area. Not. Everything has gone online and
for some reason these devices are only available in Oulu.
I'll write more if I wake up tomorrow morning.
Video meetings can stop
useless flying around the world
Erkki
Hartikainen on June 14, 2016
I've beenretiredmore than ten years.
When I was working, video meetings were held
long before I retired.
With current equipment and technology,
meetings can be held with a global audience.
In video meetings, it is only
necessary to deal with the issues sent to the participants
in a timely manner so that there is enough time for the
jigsaw.
In my opinion, meetings do not have to be an
entertainment event.They have
sometimes been also entertainment events.For
example, Catholic Church congregations are told to have
transferred a large number of prostitutes to the city of
meeting.
Those who are interested in entertainment
events will travel at their own expense.
Perhaps even the "greens" are not in
favor of my proposal.
According to the law in force, if you publicly "mock God" or
"slander or abhor what is otherwise considered sacred by the
Church or religious community within the meaning of the Freedom
of Religion Act". The law first violates the mutual equality of
religions by raising separately the "God" who refers to God of
Christianity.
Secondly, the law restricts freedom of expression and religion.
The part of religious freedom is also the freedom to critically
criticize other views. What one thinks of criticism is, in the
opinion of another, ridiculous.
Thirdly, it is difficult to intervene in some states, especially
in blasphemy against Christians, if there is a similar remark in
our country's law.
It is justified by social peace. The reason is strange: on the
contrary, at least any belief that, as a result of ridicule,
would endanger public security must be resisted. It is enough to
protect the person from the mockery, the protection of beliefs
should not be granted.
In Europe, development has progressed elsewhere towards the
abolition of blasphemy laws. A recent example is Ireland, where,
in 2018, a clear majority was abolished for the Constitution.
The initiative does not interfere with the violation of the
peace of religion, for example, in a noisy worship. There is a
separate question whether this should be prohibited by a
separate legal act, or whether a general law on public peace
would be sufficient.

Savon Sanomat: The number of children baptized has
fallen drastically
07/06/2019
According to the researcher, the reduction of baptisms has a
direct connection with the thinning of people's church
relationship.
In Finland, children are now baptized less than once before
the Church's statistics, ie since 1965, says Savon Sanomat.
According to the magazine, the proportion of those baptized
has declined, especially since the turn of the millennium, as
did the proportion of those who belong to the Church. Before
2000, the proportion of baptisms throughout the country
remained at nearly 90% for a long time and has then fallen by
more than 20 percentage points in less than 20 years.
Researcher Veli-Matti Salminen from the Church Research Center
says that diminishing baptism has a direct connection with the
thinning of people's church relationship and the fact that
membership of the Church is considered to be a purely personal
solution.
For the first time in 2014, the proportion of baptized people
fell below that of the Church, and has since fallen faster
than the membership of the Church.
Puerto Ricans:
Act now to oppose dangerous religious exceptions!
May 24, 2019
Legislators in Puerto Rico will soon vote on two bills that
create new religious exceptions. First, PS. 1253 will allow
religious organizations to receive public funds while engaging
in religious proselytizing and discriminating against people who
do not share their beliefs.
It is unfair to give money from taxpayers to groups that refuse
to serve all Puerto Ricans.
Providing funds from taxpayers to religious groups and at the
same time creating special privileges to allow them to
discriminate against others is incorrect. These laws will have
unpredictable and far-reaching negative consequences for the
health, education and social services of Puerto Ricans.
Please act now! Tell members of the Senate Commission on
Federal, Political, and Economic Relations to oppose efforts to
create new and broad religious exceptions!
Second, the legislature is also considering PS. 1254, which
claims to prohibit repair therapies for young people by licensed
professionals, but in turn creates exceptions for churches and
clergy that allow these harmful practices to continue.
Repair therapies are dangerous and discredited practices that
take advantage of families and put the health and safety of
children at risk.
No young Puerto Rican should be subject to this abusive
behavior, and no one should be exempt from the law solely
because of their religious beliefs.
Please, take action now! We urgently need your help to stop
these dangerous laws!
Ron Reagan Jr,
Atheist
Added 21/5/2019
The other night late on television there was a brief ad with
President Reagan’s son touting the Freedom from Religion
Foundation (FRF), the “nation’s largest, most effective
association of atheists and agnostics,” it boasts.
“I’m Ron Reagan, unabashed atheist,” he explained. “And I’m
alarmed by the intrusion by religion into our secular
government.” He urged keeping church and state separate “just as
the Founding Fathers intended.” Then he signed off as a
“lifelong atheist. Not afraid of burning in hell.”
Ten years ago Reagan Jr. got the annual “Emperor Has No Clothes
Award” award from FRF and explained his life journey away from
his parents’ Christianity, which apparently wasn’t fully
lifelong but began in later childhood. He didn’t like spending
much of every Sunday driving a half hour each way to two-hour
worship services at Bel Air Presbyterian Church.

Now local leaders want to let go of the authors

There was a series of rape, and there were at least 130
victims.
Children in the Manitoba settlement in Bolivia in 2009. The
Mennonites live in secluded communities that cultivate land
and do not use electricity.
Something is badly wrong.
Such a feeling had long been with many of the people in the

Women living in the Protestant Mongolian community had
wondered for years that rubbish was happening at night. They
could wake up from bed sheets in blood and semen, or rope
around their wrists.
One had dreamed of being raped in the field and getting out
of her bed with her straw in her hair, another remembering
the feeling of helplessness overnight. In the mornings it
was dull.
When the mystery began to settle ten years ago, a huge
series of "ghost battles" was revealed. Nine men were
sentenced to imprisonment, but now some local leaders
would like to release them.

Swedish court
jails Spanish doctor for child sex abuse
14/5/2019
A Swedish court on Tuesday jailed a Spanish doctor for ten
years for the sexual assault and rape of around 50 children
aged two to 12.
Cristian Carretero, 29, was convicted of four rapes and 46
sexual assaults of minors, mainly young girls, as well as for
inciting adults to fondle their children and possession of
child pornography.
A primary care physician who studied at the University of
Barcelona, Carretero faces expulsion from Sweden once he has
served his sentence.
The court found that between 2015-2017, he committed the
crimes at several Swedish medical centres and during online
consultations.
He was arrested in December 2017 after children who were
brought to him for minor ailments were subjected to needless
genital examinations.
In online consultations, Carretero convinced parents to
examine their children's genitals, while he filmed the act.
The court found him guilty of rape with aggravating
circumstances "owing to the fact that he used his position as
a doctor and abused a specific trust, well as the victim's
ages."

Eva,
29, terrible story about Finland: Abandoned the veil,
extreme honor violence began immediately
11/5/2019
A 20-year-old Afghan-based woman living in Finland
believed that suicide would be the only way to get rid of
the mental hell caused by honor violence and forced marriage
in the near future. Experts suspect that murders have
already been committed in Finland in the name of honor
violence.
EVA TAWASOLI had been afraid for years. When
Tawasoli, a female Afghan woman living in Finland at the
time, had not found an escape that she needed, she had
decided to jump. Down the bridge, eyes closed.
“It was certainly a miracle that I did not die,” Tawasoli
tells ‘IS’ in an interview now, barely ten years later.
“After the event, I had some time to realize, and then, for
a long time in rehabilitation, I was fully happy with my
former self.
HONOR VIOLENCE has risen in recent times, as the police
reported an attempted double murder in Helsinki in northern
Haaga as an honour violence referring to the company’s
motive. The Iraqi man still on the road is suspected of
stabbing his former wife and her friend that was
life-threatening.
– Honorary violence is a silenced truth in Finland. It
occurs much more than you dare to talk aloud. Fear traps
both the victims and the government, Tawasoli, 29, says.
– When we do not talk about such a serious violation
of human rights related to culture, the threat of murder
permanently remains in the country.
The deputy mayor of HELSINKI, Nasima Razmyar, recently said
to ‘IS’, that “the emergence of the parallel realities in
the capital region, such as the Haaga stabbing incident,
must be taken seriously”.
Parallel-Reality, Razmyar, the communities, factions,
relatives and sects of the immigrant population, which
accept honour violence, and where women are, in particular,
controlled and condemned on the basis of conservative
religious norms.
Honor violence is different from the frequent jealousy that
exists within the population of Finland. Honor violence is
in the family or in the circle of families, and a close
relative also often helps and supports the actual
perpetrators of the honor violence. For example, a woman’s
premarital relationship, a nightclub visit, a violation of
dress codes, infidelity, a petition for divorce, or
homosexuality is known as the motives of the violent
violence.
– There are great cultural differences. When a Finnish man
hits a woman, he is not patted on the back. Instead, when a
man in our culture is beating his women in the name of the
honor of violence, the whole family community praises the
beating. Honor violence often even enhances the male
position in the community, Tawasoli says.

All the right cryptographers
use a code that cannot be decrypted
Erkki Hartikainen on 6 May 2016
The Finnish Broadcasting Company
is currently representing a film that tells about
code-strippers.
One of the editors of the
Broadcasting Company should be sent to the
cryptography course of the Department of Computer
Science.There they
would learn that unpacked code was already used during
World War II.
Anyone can do that.The use of decryptable cryptography
is due to the difficulty of spreading the keys.
For example, if you take a
snippet of each of my daily writings as a key,
cryptography could not be completely unloaded by any
unpacking program, not to mention people.
The presence of wolves

Earliert the wolves were in the

Now the reindeer herders kill all
the wolves in the north illegally or legally, and the
wolves are only in the south.
Fortunately, wolves still live in

Nusrat Jahan
Rafi: Burned to death for reporting sexual harassment
By Mir Sabbir BBC Bengali, Dhaka
19 April 2019
Nusrat Jahan Rafi was doused with kerosene and set on fire at
her school in Bangladesh. Less than two weeks earlier, she had
filed a sexual harassment complaint against her headmaster.
Her courage in speaking out against sexual assault, her death
five days after being set alight and everything that happened
in-between has gripped Bangladesh and brought attention to the
vulnerability of sexual harassment victims in this
conservative South Asian country.
Nusrat, who was 19, was from Feni, a small town 100 miles
(160km) south of Dhaka. She was studying at a madrassa, or
Islamic school. On 27 March, she said the headmaster called
her into his office and repeatedly touched her in an
inappropriate manner. Before things could go any further she
ran out.
Many girls and young women in Bangladesh choose to keep their
experiences of sexual harassment or abuse secret for fear of
being shamed by society or their families. What made Nusrat
Jahan different is that she didn't just speak out - she went
to the police with the help of her family on the day the
alleged abuse happened.
At the local police station she gave a statement. She should
have been provided with a safe environment to recall her
traumatic experiences. Instead she was filmed by the officer
in charge on his phone as she described the ordeal.
In the video Nusrat is visibly distressed and tries to hide
her face with her hands. The policeman is heard calling the
complaint "no big deal" and telling her to move her hands from
her face. The video was later leaked to local media.
Nusrat Jahan Rafi was from a small town, came from a
conservative family, and went to a religious school. For a
girl in her position, reporting sexual harassment can come
with consequences. Victims often face judgement from their
communities, harassment, in person and online, and in some
cases violent attacks. Nusrat went on to experience all of
these.
On 27 March, after she went to the police, they arrested the
headmaster. Things then got worse for Nusrat. A group of
people gathered in the streets demanding his release. The
protest had been arranged by two male students and local
politicians were allegedly in attendance. People began to
blame Nusrat. Her family say they started to worry about her
safety.
Nevertheless, on 6 April, 11 days after the alleged sexual
assault, Nusrat went to her school to sit her final exams.
"I tried to take my sister to school and tried to enter the
premises, but I was stopped and wasn't allowed to enter," said
Nusrat's brother, Mahmudul Hasan Noman.
"If I hadn't been stopped, something like this wouldn't have
happened to my sister," he said.
According to a statement given by Nusrat, a fellow female
student took her to the roof of the school, saying one of her
friends was being beaten up. When Nusrat reached the rooftop
four or five people, wearing burqas, surrounded her and
allegedly pressured her to withdraw the case against the
headmaster. When she refused, they set her on fire.
Police Bureau of Investigation chief Banaj Kumar Majumder said
the killers wanted "to make it look like a suicide". Their
plan failed when Nusrat was rescued after they fled the scene.
She was able to give a statement before she died.
"One of the killers was holding her head down with his hands,
so kerosene wasn't poured there and that's why her head wasn't
burned," Mr Majumder told BBC Bengali.
But when Nusrat was taken to a local hospital, doctors found
burns covering 80% of her body. Unable to treat the burns,
they sent her to Dhaka Medical College Hospital.
In the ambulance, fearing she might not survive, she recorded
a statement on her brother's mobile phone.
"The teacher touched me, I will fight this crime till my last
breath," you can hear her say.
She also identified some of her attackers as students at the
madrassa.
News of Nusrat's health dominated Bangladeshi media. On 10
April, she died. Thousands of people turned out for her
funeral in Feni.
Police have since arrested 15 people, seven of them allegedly
involved in the murder. Among those arrested are the two male
students who organised the protest in support of the
headmaster. The headmaster himself remains in custody. The
policeman who filmed Nusrat's sexual harassment complaint has
been removed from his post and transferred to another
department.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina met Nusrat's family in Dhaka and
promised that every person involved in the killing would be
brought to justice. "None of the culprits will be spared from
legal action," she said.
Nusrat's death has sparked protests and thousands have used
social media to express their anger about both her case and
the treatment of sexual assault victims in Bangladesh.
"Many girls don't protest out of fear after such incidents.
Burqas, even dresses made of iron cannot stop rapists," said
Anowar Sheikh on BBC Bengali's Facebook page.
"I wanted a daughter my whole life, but now I am afraid.
Giving birth to a daughter in this country means a life of
fear and worry," wrote Lopa Hossain in her Facebook post.
According to women's rights group Bangladesh Mahila Parishad,
there were 940 incidents of rape in Bangladesh in 2018. But
researchers say the real number is likely to be much higher.
"When a woman tries to get justice for sexual harassment, she
has to face a lot of harassment again. The case lingers for
years, there is shaming in society, a lack of willingness from
police to properly investigate the allegations," said Salma
Ali, a human rights lawyer and former director of the Women
Lawyers' Association.
"It leads the victim to give up on seeking justice. Ultimately
the criminals don't get punished and they do the same crime
again. Others don't fear to do the same because of such
examples."
Now people are asking: Why did Nusrat's case only get
attention after she was attacked? And will her case change the
way people view sexual harassment in Bangla
