Harry Gullichsen, the chairman of the Sunila mill and Managing Director of the Ahlström company, was a per- sonal friend of architect Alvar Aalto. He was already then internationally renowned. The year before, in 1935 in Helsinki was founded Artek by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gul- lichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their goal was “to sell fur- niture and to promote a modern culture of living by exhi- bitions and other educational means.” Alvar Aalto and Harry Gullichsen had in common mo- dern ideas about art, architecture and social progress. The Sunila residential area became the Finnish interpre- tation of international modernism, the 1st “Forest town”. The view of Sunila from the sea became the symbol of the Finnish wood processing industry. The pulp mill was said to be the most beautiful in the world and was pre- sented at the New York World’s Fair of 1939.

  • Sauna Products Amerec Saunas
    SAUNA PRODUCTS AMEREC SAUNAS In today’s hectic world, aren’t we all looking for a pri- vate retreat—a place to become refreshed physically and mentally? Imagine being able to come home from a long day at the office and slip into the comfort of your own bath time paradise. Your muscles finally relax. All the hassles of the day leave your mind. You feel every ounce of stress drain from your body. HEALTH BENEFITS Saunas improve cardiovascular performance. As core body temperature rises, cardiac output increases. When we cool off again, the heart rate drops, giving our hearts a healthy workout that improves performance and helps the body’s regulatory system. Saunas reduce incidences of Alzheimer’s by 65%. A 20-year study conducted with more than 2,300 participants at the University of Eastern Finland by Dr. Jari Laukkanen and his colleagues revealed regular sauna use (4-7 times per week) at 176 degrees F for 19 minutes lowered the risk for both Alzheimer’s & dementia. Saunas relieve stress. The heat from the sauna stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body’s all-natural “feel good” chemical, and their release provides a truly wonderful “after sauna glow.” Saunas relax muscles and soothe aches. Heat- stimulated endorphins can have a tranquilizing effect, minimizing muscle pain and soreness. Heat also increases blood flow, speeding up the body’s natural healing process. Saunas flush toxins. Deep sweating in a sauna can help reduce levels of lead, copper, zinc, nickel, mercury and chemical - toxins commonly absorbed just from interacting with our daily environments.

  • The Autonomy of Åland: a Reflexion of International and Constitutional Law
    THE AUTONOMY OF ÅLAND: A REFLEXION OF INTERNATIONAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL LAW By Christer Janson, Chief Legislative Officer, Åland Provincial Government 1. The historical background of the autonomy of lland ' . _ , Aland has had af Swedish population at least since the sixth century A.D. For this reason Aland, when the Kingdom of Sweden was formed, from the very beginning was a part of that country. The population of the Finnish mainland however was probably already at that time of Finnish origin. Only after the Swedish conquest of Finland during the thirteenth century Swedes started to settle in the coastal regions of .Finland. When the Swedish domination in Finland had been consolidated and Finland been made a part of the Kingdom of Sweden Aland was in some administrative, judicial and ecclesiastical respect made a part of the Abo (Turku) region. The reasons for this were purely practical and had no constitutional significance since Finland was an integrated part of the Kingdom of Sweden. In the seventeenth century Sweden was a superpower in the Baltic region. During the eighteenth century its significance diminished. Eventually Finland and Aland were lost to Russia through the peace treaty of Fredrikshamn (Hamina) in 1809. During the Crimean War 1853-56 the Russian fortress Bomarsund in Aland was destroyed by English and French fleets. At the peace negotiations Sweden who had stayed neutral during the war claimed Aland back to Sweden. However, Russia refused to give up Aland. On the other hand Russia was forced to commit itself not to build any fortifications in Aland (the so-called Aland Islands Servitude).

  • Temperance Landing Sauna Instructions
    Temperance Landing Sauna Instructions We hope you enjoy our contemporary version of a classic Finnish Sauna. Location The sauna is located just past cabin number 22, on the far southwestern end of the Temperance Landing complex. There is a walkway to the sauna which begins on the north side of the garage at cabin number 54, which then passes under bridges that enter cabins 24 and 22. Entry Door To enter either sauna door, press “6 7 8 9” on the combination entry door lock, and then turn the knob. If it does not open the first time, please repeat, as this clears the lock for the new attempt. Heating up the Sauna The sauna heater control is on the wall to the left as you enter. Please turn the Temperature Control up to at least 6 or 7, and then turn the timer to at least 30 minutes. You may want to return to your cabin for 15 or more minutes to wait for the building and the sauna to pre-heat. If you do so, please fill the sauna water reservoir with water before leaving (see next instruction) so that has an opportunity to pre-heat as well. Using the Sauna First fill the green metal reservoir on the right hand side of the sauna stove from the water tap just above this, as the sauna will pre-heat this water. Then ladle warm water from this reservoir onto the rocks in the sauna. The more rocks you cover the more steam you will create and the faster the sauna will become hot and steamy.
