Vihti was caused by an accident related to construction work This kind of damage related to construction work happens especially now that a lot of fibre construction is being done," Wallenius said Suspicions about the reason behind the damage to the cable were highteneded because Monday's incident came in the wake of two separate cable damage incidents in the Baltic Sea last month Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is probing the damage to the C-Lion1 submarine cable between Finland and Germany as suspected cases of aggravated damage to property and aggravated interference

remains the most expensive city in Finland for property-related expenses with costs rising at twice the national average property expenses have increased primarily due to higher land property taxes The average annual increase in Finland's ten largest cities was 4.7% Monthly property expenses in Helsinki have risen from €3.96 per square meter last year to €4.33 this year property costs in Helsinki have jumped 43% compared to 25% in Espoo and 18% in Vantaa Vihti in Uusimaa experienced the largest cost increase in the entire country driven mainly by a steep 30% hike in district heating prices the average monthly cost per square meter climbed to €4.33 Significant Property Tax Increases Already in Place Land property taxes rose by an average of 12.3% this year in the surveyed municipalities while building property taxes saw a more modest 3.1% increase A mandatory 40% rise in the minimum land property tax rate pushed many municipalities to increase their taxes impacting the capital region especially hard The property tax hike has already added significant costs to housing associations equivalent to an extra maintenance fee for residents If proposed legislative changes to the valuation of properties are implemented residents in growth centers like Helsinki could face even higher costs in the coming years "Further increases in property taxes would be detrimental to all residents in growth centers These tax hikes inevitably raise housing costs either through higher maintenance fees or increased rents," warned Mika Heikkilä Advertisement inquiries and other

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Nashville Predators have signed forward Eeli Tolvanen to a three-year, $4.35 million deal. General manager David Poile announced the deal Monday. Tolvanen, 22, just finished his first full NHL season. He scored 22 points in 40 games, and his 11 goals ranked fourth on the Predators as the most by a Nashville rookie since Filip Forsberg had 26 in 2014-15. The 5-foot-10, 191-pound forward also had six power-play goals, tied for the second-most among Nashville rookies all-time. His six-game point streak between March 21 and 30 tied for the second-longest among those rookies. The native of Vihti, Finland, tied for first among NHL rookies with four game-winning goals. He tied for second in power-play goals and was third with 12 power-play points. He had three multi-point games. Tolvanen was the 30th overall draft pick in 2017 and has played in 47 career NHL games. He became the fifth-youngest player to debut at the age of 18 years, 343 days on March 31, 2018, against Buffalo. He played for Jokerit in the KHL and played for Finland in the 2018 Winter Olympics where he had nine points in five games.

He stood out among older players on a first-place team. Nashville Predators centreman Jonathan Marchessault continues to encourage his kids’ inherited love for the game while putting fun first Annunen is set to back up Nashville's Juuse Saros. The 24-year-old Annunen is 6-4 with a 3.23 goals-against average. He was a third-round pick by Colorado in 2018. Fellow Kelowa Rockets alumnus, Tyson Barrie, along with Nashville Predators captain, Roman Josi, share their thoughts on the legend of Shea Weber. The 22-year-old Askarov had reportedly asked for a trade with his path to a starting role in Nashville blocked by Juuse Saros, and San Jose jumped at the opportunity to add a potential top young goalie to a franchise sorely lacking one. the victims are children living at the institution The suspects include people from outside the home Open image viewerVuorela children's home in Vihti is home to some 24 children in need of support 11:45Western Uusimaa police department are investigating possible suspected criminal offences in the Vuorela children's home in Vihti "We have had a number of reports from there," said Maria Hietajärvi "In some cases we have managed to determine that there are acts that fit the definition of sex crimes and were perpetrated on young people."

estimates that the Nordic data center construction market could increase from just over $1.6 billion in 2022 to $2.6 billion in 2028 The surge in interest among global tech players is buoyed by the launch of national artificial intelligence (AI) strategies across the Nordic region “Sweden is developing a cost-attractive environment to bolster growth in the construction and operation of data centers and there is mounting competition for new projects among the neighboring Nordic states.” The government initiatives are focused on implementing AI in specific sectors that generate significant

independence from Russia in 1917. Every year blue and white flags hang from shop windows and cakes are decorated in in celebration. When we asked Finnish people to tell us what it was like to live in Finland, we had a huge response – more than 1500 contributions Here are some of their perspectives from snow babies to ice hockey and national service it’s very important for newborn babies to get used to sub zero conditions quickly Melissa Georgiou explains that when her son Milo was born a snow suit was included in the ‘baby box,’ given to all new families by the government This box contains everything a newborn baby needs and the box itself can even be used as a crib The idea behind the baby box is that despite any differences in the socio economic backgrounds of parents every child should have the same start in life Melissa also mentions that mothers are given a generous maternity pay of around 450 Euros per month while they stay at home and the child benefit is also 100 Euros until the child is 16 parents are often advised to leave the baby outside for their day naps providing the temperature doesn’t drop lower than minus 10 °C Melissa says ‘it’s a common sight to see prams parked outside cafes with babies sleeping while the mothers are indoors having a coffee break.’ She feels that the government provided snow suit the baby box and the daytime naps in fresh air He is having his first play in the snow while wearing his government issue 'baby box' snow suit people let their babies sleep outside (in the pram) in sub zero conditions With Finland being prone to heavy snowfalls each year children are encouraged to make the most of the wintry weather from an early age Her oldest daughter Aida started out at a similar age Eerika’s husband is also a keen ‘boarder,’ be it snow and he was keen to introduce snowboarding to the girls Eerika explains that while children in Finland have always been expected to ski when they turn 2 or 3 the trens is to now get them on the slopes even earlier and it makes sense that winter sports are so popular from an early age It’s therefore no surprise that Finnish sports stars are most often based in winter sports skiers and ice hockey players all reaching the world’s elite in their respective categories There’s been a perception in the past that, while both boys and girls are brought up to be good skaters, it’s the boys who’re expected to join ice hockey teams while girls go in for figure skating. Now that’s changing – a number of Finnish towns took part in the recent World Girls’ Ice Hockey Weekend in October part of a worldwide initiative to encourage girls to get involved in ice hockey Finland was well represented with towns all over the country hosting their own girls’ hockey events with some ice hockey household names like Team Finland’s goal tender doing a lot of the coaching across the country Anu Laitila shared this photo from the event in Helsinki for participants aged between six and eleven The early sessions involved getting used to the hockey gear It’s a worldwide problem that girls interested in ice hockey can’t find a female team but the annual Girls’ Hockey Day is trying taking steps to change this in Finland Picture taken from Girls Hockey Day in Helsinki 12.10.2014 Another popular winter hobby in Finland is ice fishing Teija Saastamoinen shared this photo of her daughter and fiancé in Sevettijarvi one of the most northern villages in Finland located about 1200 kilometres north from Helsinki inside the arctic circle Fishing is one of the biggest industries in the village Traditional ice fishing is a popular social event for local people – and visiting tourists It’s often competitive and with prizes including top of the range fishing equipment and reindeer meat Teija says her daughter has a rather more relaxed ice fishing style than her fiancé Other fish that can be caught in this way are trout and arctic charr Midnight sun on the longest day of the year at a friend’s summer cottage at lake Asunta (Asuntajärvi) in Central Finland Midsummer festivities also included bonfires a sauna and spending time together outside the cities’ reach This was definitely the best time to return to Finland after living abroad for quite a while Video was taken at midnight in a small river called Vikajoki On Independence day a national military parade will be held in the city of Hämeenlinna in Southern Finland Hannu Mononen offers an insight into the country’s national defence and security policies and says that the Finnish system of compulsory national service is the most cost-effective way to defend a country that covers a land area of over 130,000 square miles (compared to the 94,000 square miles of the UK) Conscientious objectors are offered civilian service instead of the military but their reserve force of 230 000 is one of the largest in Europe Hannu maintains that unlike its neighbour Sweden Finland simply couldn’t afford a professional army which is why they rely on their own defence force for Finnish military security Finland’s relationship with Russia is of no concern to Hannu at present Sauli Niinistö is in good communication with Russian president Finland has parliamentary elections in April 2015 and while national security issues might well be on the agenda Hannu is confident that there’s no majority desire in the country to become a member of NATO Finnish Army Leopard A4 main battle tanks charging in simulated combat in Parola in June 2012 commemorating the 90-year anniversary of this arm in the Finnish Defense Forces The information you requested is not available at this time For Canadian hockey fans, it might be a little soon after the World Juniors to hear the name Eeli Tolvanen.  The sharp-shooting winger was turned away after quite a few significant opportunities against Canadian goaltender Mikey DiPietro in the gut-wrenching quarterfinal game but was finally successful in knotting up the score at one with just 46 seconds to go 🇫🇮's Eeli Tolvanen (@mkeadmirals) gets his first of the tournament and ties it with 46.4 to play!
