Education: Philosophy in Finland in danger
The new university law has been the hot topic of the year among the academic community in Finland. The latest inquiry showed that 55 % of the teachers, professors and librarians think that the renewal succeeded quite or very poorly. The most critical points of views come from faculties of arts and education. One change brought up by the new law is that all the universities have to gather a bigger part of their funding as donations.

I’m so late! A quick calculation revealed that I had 20 minutes to go. Ok, let’s try. Breakfast? Coffee would be just fine. Make-up? Enough time for mascara only.

My Daily Apocalypse
The past few weeks have been rather hectic from a global perspective. A lot has indeed happened. However the recent tragic events from all around the world not only woke me up from my winter slumber, but also prompted me to give some thought to the shallowness of contemporary media language. And to people feeding off it.

Finland’s hidden faces: Fur farming

Civilian, police, army and mafia are among the casualties and as paranoia and fear reign supreme we can still see acts of bravery by the civilian population caught in the crossfire.

Princess of Media
Well, today the highly expected, extremely expensive royal wedding finally took place. Guests looked posh (at least Posh Spice) and sported weird cookie cutter shaped hats. Kate Middleton, now Princess Kate, well looked great and reminded me a bit of Ursula from the Little Mermaid in human form (hey, Ursula was hot as a human).

Latino America
This year has been without a doubt a great one so far for the Latino community in the United States and in Latin America, well at least if you forget about the racist laws in Arizona and the drug wars in Mexico (you can thank college potheads for this one at least).
