Of learning to swim

 In swimming there is the danger of drowning, so always take care that you do not drown. 

Typically people learn to swim by first walking to so low water that your head is on the top of water and your palms touch the bottom. So you can move your hands like walking, which is in Finnish said to be "handsbottom". (Learn this before continuing to next skills.) 

Always move toward lower water or as low as you walked to. 

Then you need to learn how hand movements keep your head on top of the water. So go so deep that when you kneel, the water is maybe 10cm lower than your shoulders. You need to learn how hand movements move you. Push your hands downwards in front of you. That ought to lift you upward, and so safeguard you against drowning. Doing it alternatively left, right, left,... are the hand movements of swimming "dog". 

If you have palms maybe 45degree angle to the sides, moving them first forward straight hands and then each hand as straight a quater of a circle, that ought to keep your head up and keep a nice relaxed way of moving, swimming "frog". 

(Cotinue only after you have learned the previous movements.) 

With these, if you are handbottom deep, go foot movements, in "dog" kicking somewhat like walking. And in swimming "frog" kicking both feet maybe 45 degrees sides and then pushing the feet together, this like works well with the hand movements.

Which job?

 In the news there was an article of young Chinese searching for work https://yle.fi/a/74-20228076 . In the videos there were quite young Chinese who after years of university studies abroad tried to find job - either via the skills and knowledge of their studies or by some other job which would open to them. It is a typical problem that some like the studies job possobilitues if their paremts and younger years living environment were not the same as their studies. But if one did not like the studies, it is difficult to build work endurancy to such. One should instead build upon common sense and own insight of the things one is interested in. One cjoice is where to live, one could so meet many people with similar inclinatipn, be an admirer of such values.

Of cleaning with round movements

 I think that when cleaning a table or the floor, it is good to use natural round movements. That is a natural consequence of a satified mood, so the cleaning cloth ought to be nicely clean, and so one needs to buy such more often, or have skills of cleaning them well and drying them. And one ought to vary speed instead of aiming at robot like even style. 

Summer melodies, half-shadow in southern Finland

I went for a walk and got as a memory from my childhood the pleasantness of half-shadow of trees and a slight breeze, but I did not have pen and later I had lost touch with the view, but anyway it was more pleasant than the summer feelings of many

Of Finnish celebrations

 See https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2017/06/finnish-celebrations.html 

 " If one would like to celebrate Midsummer in the Finnish way but abroad, one could with the family eat some traditional food that is more countryside style, and then go out to a park or otherwise green area and sense the weather, the time of the day and it's light, the nature's beuty, birdsong and the like, leisurely, like is pleasant and has a nice atmoshphere. If one would like to go to some happening, a quite peaceful one to which one can take kids, maybe with violin music or the like: emotional, peaceful, traditionally inclined, sensing the nature etc.

If you like this, maybe you would like to read my long text about the seasons in Finland  http://finnishskills.blogspot.fi/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html .

This year Midsummer is 23. - 24. of June 2023. Like usual, that is almost at the end of June. Yet it comes surprisingly quickly. It is important to start summer holiday before it is too late. In practice there are only two months of summer holiday: June and July, since in the half way of August begin schools and that affects plans a week or so before it. In the beginning of June swimming waters for children are not yet so warm, but around Midsummer they are warm.

About Finnish celebrations

" Savonlinna was good at celebrating while the capital district isn't so good at celebrating. As far as i understand, in a celebration day there ought to be the thing celebrated, some guests, some ages old life, some time outdoors with some motion too, foods that are kind of traditional somewhat countryside like but somehow stylish like magnifient looking and tasty, and some fine pieces of culture like some song (on a CD?), poem and/or piece of tradition or history, lots of free chances to talk for a while or do something in varied groups, and an end in sight guests leaving they having the teavel or something else for ghe evening. 

But this is just my impression. Home tidy, clean and nice is important too. There ought to be some nature around. 

And like painting or drawing demands a moment of it's own, maybe 15 minutes with time also for the subject, for such life, and with the goal of making a fine piece of art, likewise things in the party demand some space for them at least on the part of the one who offers them, so that the atmosphere is better.

In celebrations it is a rule that one ought to behave well and be good willing, dress in clean celebration clothes too. If one does not feel like behaving so one ought to leave. Also otherwise it is ok to make just a short visit or to not to come if one wishes so. If some have come from far and cannot leave, they can go and find some quiet enough corner and read a book. 

But I haven't been in such celebrations for a long time, years and years.

Possible view?

 I run into a clishee like picture that seemed typical good side. The balcony and view seemed to be one good side for people wanting to live there, i.e. an apartment type, and flowers in the balcony a typical possible choice. 

Indoors there was what type of people you are, and whst is the fascination of each feature

15th of June 2026   Instead of candles and a fireplace, pick liked things, maybe oldfashioned countryside style. Fire is too dangerous for ordinary arrangements. 

16th of June 2026   If one likes the colours of sunset, more arctic location increases twilight time to manyfold, but the direction of sunset varies from North-West in the summer evening to South-West in the winter afternoon. In Finland twilight typically lasts half an hour, and the sunset colours at least five minutes - if I remember right. 

18th of June 2026   Also the curtains affect a lot the view. 

20th of June 2026 Midsummer Day    Internet says sunset colours in Finland last 30-60min per day. 

21st of June 2026   Summer solstice   The news tell that the daylenght in Helsinki today is about 19 hours.

Midsummer rose is beautiful

My father once replaced the old fence by two broad sheets of wood, painted brown. And inside them planted Midsummer roses. At first we wondered about that but after a couple of years, roses given nutritients according to some advice, it became a beautiful flower bush, coming slightly over the wooden fence, really beautiful. And sometimes in the flowering season I too got a branch or few, and it was really beautiful. But the Midsummer rose has lots of spikes. 

8th of July 2026 The colour of thr wood was maybe like in this picture of a bag, but there was the same width of empty in between the woods of the fence. 

My old stories about feeling robots

 In the news was maybe for the first time of autonomious weapons. My old, kind of tough but positive, stories about feeling robots and about correcting away the dangers of robots to living beings, are at https://feelingrobots.blogspot.com

The news say that Elon Musk's SpaceX is going to list in the stock market today (16.30 Finnish time),

 at a record high price, bringing 75 000 000 000 us dollards. That is really much, but so these blogs of mine could also gain enermously: healing, dream job, some quicker education, avoiding nuclear weapons etc - well, I do not know, but when I have written these have felt like big questions, worth a lot. I sent the blog link, was it LearnTalents.BlogSpot.com/2018/09 ?, to the parliament of Finland when the news told of dept of 180 000 000 000, but I do not know if it was of any use. Anyway, the effect results from ideas on a general level and so could be roughly multiplied by the number of people, and so could be useful to nations and other really big groups.

14th of June 2026   Yesterday Swedes celebrated their king and queen married about 50 years 19th ox Jube 2026, and the king of Brits Charles III celebrated a summer version of his birthday. And today the president Trump of USA celebrates his 80 years anniversary. Yet USA 250 years seems more noteworthy.

5th of July 2019   Another piece:

30th of June 2022   I have now lived for over a year in Espoo and walked to the near by shopping mall. On the way back there has a couple of times been quite many different kinds of individuals who seem to say they are from Eritrea in Africa and some of them seem to say they would like to have this melody (Reaching for a good future in the society) as their National song. But it is a very far away country, a very different climate and diffwrent culture: does it fit there or is it annoyingly foreign? I would guess that for a song from a so distant country a place in a valued songbook would be better suited. But of course the song is aimed to make the society a better place to live in, and to affect fairly for better in the wide world too.

If you have strawberries (in your garden?) and a freezer with plastic flat cups and plastic stics upon them, in the summer it is delicious to squeese strawberries, fil the cups with them and put the cup container to freezer. 

If you are somewhat thin, maybe when there has been some time since meal, you could take a piece of chocolate to your mouth and drink tea so that the chocolate melts deliciously. But this does not work if you are fat estimated by your own feelings or if there ought not be a meal yet. 

Of noodle soup incredients sold as packets, take care to not to eat anything suspicious, like spring onions for example. Pay attention to what kind of soup it is: vegetable, beaf, schrimp, or what. Cook water and put thd incredients to a deep plate, pouribg water upon them. Place a top upon the plate. Check now and then: if it is technical style then it is not yet ready, but when it them appear warm and satisfied, you ought to remove the top, and you can then eat it, which ought to be somehow good for getting habitual working life. 

Some kind of poet "emperor"

 " My first name Kaisa has the association "keisari" which means "emperor". As child I was interested in could I develop into something in that direction, but in a natural way, which in practice meant emperor of Finland plus some wider area. But in practice I did not develop in politics etc. Was it (as a teen or?) in my early twenties I read old Chinese poems that had been translated to Finnish, and those were said to be poems of Chinese emperors, something which would suit me too. So for me too the texts that I produce are what I have to give to the wider world. So it usn't just the emperor subject of them but instead my books and my texts at large and the melodies that I have composed.

19th of June 2026, Midsummer Eve   To be clear, since I think on a general level, I have not thought some certain area. Instead I think of the whole world, and what I have reached for, is being a leader of the world. For that being a writer is easier than a career in politics etc which I do not understand about. 

Why Christmas gnomes

 Sone twenty years ago I listened to music st the video site www.YouTube.com , and one of my favourites was the songs of Julio Iglesias, which though was outside my language skills. Anyway, his name brought to my mind Christmas, and may have been one of the reasons I have written of Christmss gnomes, since such is one largely wanted thibg in thecworld. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BGUP7nIi7YQ&pp=ygUhanVsaW8gaWdsZXNpYXMgbWUgb2x2aWRlIGRlIHZpdmly

Climate skills

 As far as I understand, the increased skills and wisdom of life gotten from living in a cold climate of the four seasons, result from tuning to each weather and season, taking such environment into account. And do not result from cold year around.

Of charm

 Finns won worlds mastership in ice hockey, and there were thousands of people celebrating in the city center. 

One piece of news was of a charming woman being interviewed https://yle.fi/a/74-20229221 . She just said that she wsnted to celebrate, maybe from now on. But what is such a charm. Instead of reaching high, she said no, and so she was able to followwisdom of life, and to get room for the wishes of others too. Her name was something like secret/forest, and so she maybe followed wise wisdom of life without being detailed. And maybe wanted to help those who needed alcohol or drugs. 

Earlier today I watched some news video of the ice hockey team visiting the president Stubb, who told what kind of wisdom of life he had told his children: 1) dream, 2) believe, 3) work hard and 4) succeed. It is important to know that different people have different wisdom of life, and important that one can share such wisdom and follow one's own type's wisdom of life, different for each individual.
