My text about the four seasons available as a book

 I made yesterday a hardcover book from this blog's text https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2014/11/living-with-seasons.html about the seasons. One can find it in www.amazon.com with the search " Living with the four seasons Finland ". But it was not yet available for sale. 25usd +post

24th of October 2021   I today bought this book of mine about the seasons from www.amazon.com while I bought some of my other books too, and there seemed to be no problem in it, but the postage may be expensive and the slowest post may take a month, so if one would buy for Christmas, one will soon need to hurry. 

18th of November 2021   My book arrived in the post today. I had wondered if it is too blog like but it does appesr like a book. The pictures are black and white and some of them not so clear. The book has 234 pages. Some openinfs have lots of empty space because of the pictures. The back cover is in too big letters since such was the cover creator program.

There is another book of mine with similar cover and it is likely that the Finnish version of this text would also have a similar cover.

29.5.2022   I gave the book last December to Helsinki town public library. 

 21.7.2022   I lowered the price to 19usd. I also found out that German amazon.de serves also in English and promises at least now a free shipping to Finland if you buy enough.   https://www.amazon.de/Kaisa-Hannele-Tervola/dp/B09JYSTTC7/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?crid=XR9LOXBN8VKH&keywords=tervola&qid=1658413527&sprefix=%2Caps%2C141&sr=8-17

26.3.2023   www.amazon.fr search "tervola" is selling the book for 19,69e +post 6,24e.

16.6.2023   The summer time advices of the book make summer time much easier and enjoyable. 

15th of August 2023   You can maybe find the book at the Amazon internet bookshops by the search "tervola". For example in Canada https://www.amazon.ca/Living-Seasons-Kaisa-Hannele-Tervola/dp/B09JYSTTC7/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?crid=3RTBCQZ25EFUA&keywords=tervola&qid=1692074629&sprefix=tervola%2Caps%2C356&sr=8-34

28th of May 2024   Of the summer time advices: Obs. In the text hot means warm summer days and cool means unusually cool summer days, for example rainy days. So it is compared to what you are adjusted to and what is the local view of ordinary summer weathers. 

1st of September 2024   I changed the book from a hardcover book to a paperback book with the front cover much the same, but price much lower, see https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DFTX4FCT?ref_=pe_93986420_774957520 , but of coyrse there is the post cost which is much higher. But if one coukd order the book via one's local bookshop, maybe one could get the postage cheaper.

Easy quick school for animals etc

 In my gnome skills text learntalents.blogspot.com at least E11. is valuable. 

I copy it here:

"

E11.   20th of September 2020    Maybe a gnome too could learn this way:

"Easy quick school for animals, especially pets and birds

 Animals which associate closely with humans, especially pets, ofr example dogs, sometimes ask if there could be a school for animals too. I have written advices about learning common sense like objective thinking and about fitting into the society, so here is my version of a kind of school for animals:

1) Thinking: use a landscape like view that observes structures. Good practise for this is looking at familiar scenes and landscapes with trees and some life in them. Trees and nature make observation ability better and join the sense of sight topgether with the sense of atmospheres, which is also good for thinking. http://quickerlearning.blogspot.com

For teaching this to a dog that is interested in learning it, go outdoors to some peaceful enough place where there are trees but not overly amess. Do not strand face to face by your pet but instead side by sode so that it looks at the same landscape as you, and so you can look at it so that it sees it the same way and then you can walk to a bush, tree, street's side lawn etc like observed firstm, and that's it.

2) Fitting into the society: The advice "Live and let others live!" is good for this. Think of each person and each group sovereign as the trunk and branches of a tree in a park. It does not mess with the branches of other trees and those too leave it alone, to freely and happily live it's own life. Good will toward others is a good advice here. https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2012/10/live-and-let-others-live.html

 Another piece of advice is for all to work for better life in a better living environment, like work, hobbies, friends, caring for the environment, making the society good to live in. https://finnishskills.blogspot.com/2013/04/rationally-grounded-moral.html

3) Wisdom of life and healthy ways of living you can partly learn from how tree branmches curve topward light and what is their atmosphere, the mood it seems to refer to and the kind of life, and partly from sport and healthy kind of life on all areas of life.

* * *

There are also some other things that have often come to my mind when thinking of a school for animals, especially for pets and birds, maybe for mice too.

4) About teaching an animal to read there is a video about reading Finnish language at https://villakoirabanjo.blogspot.com/2020/01/opeta-elaimesi-lukemaan-nain.html , but for it one must first understand spoken language, which often goes by associating with humans and paying attention to the situations and tones of voice, and later by remembering also the atmospheres of the spoken language. Finnish language is written like it is pronouced, but there are some differencies between literature's language and the words of spoken language.

5) The square looks of houses etc are a consequence of it being so easy to place two or more parts next to each other tightly and so that one can choose from nay options, what to place so. So one can build shelter from weathers and from dangers and use materials economically. Such houses also offer fiar chances for different types i´of individuals and a possibility for privacy. The square looks of houses are not good for intelligence and quality of life. For them it is good to look at trees outside the window. If life indoors feels tough, do not attach yourself to build things but instead only to the nature outside the window and to outdoors at large.

Some foods for different nationalities

 "  I 48.   15th of May 2021    I feel that this text gets classified as "like eskimo", even though I am from Finland in northern Europe, but this is of course a climate four seasons and I have written about weather skills. I feel that for eskimos and for others too a good summer time food would be salmon (or rainbow trout) sallad: equal size pieces of tomato, cucumber and sallad leaves' pieces mixed in a bowl and let be in cool for some time to get juicy taste. Add somewhat smaller pieces of cool fried salmon, mix and serve. "   learntalents.blogspot.com

Today I watched a piece of some video of Angkor Wat in Cambodia. After it I came to think of this kind of food for peope somewhere there. Maybe half a banana that is already quite soft, small pieces of cucumber and half a glas fresh orange-mango juice.

I tried to figure out some kund of food for Arabs too, abd it was: some fresh orange juice, some fresh tomato and a small piece of red paprica ( not a spice ) plus drinking water.

For the Chinese a fresh sallad of pieces of cucumber, leaf sallad, spice called "persilja" in Finnish, pieces of mandarin and small pieces of carrot. 

I do nit know this, I came to think of my poodle who used to est such, but for people in usa cooked carrots, Fanta lemonade, meat balls  brown sauce and tattar or rise.

An attempt for tge Japanese : carrot scratched to small pieces, and as dessert red berries with whisped cream.

For Africans water melon, apricot marmelafe on a toast, orange marmelade on a toast, fresh orange juice, and milk. 

For Indians cook pieces of tsukin and honey melon and rise.

For the Swiss apricot jam bakery.

For the British vegetables in oven with some element like bakery, potato, or so, plus some fresh berries  vegetsbles or fruit, and maybe milk.

For the Russians hard bread called näkkileipä  cheese and a sallad leaf  maybe margarin on the bread.

Hot summer day foods for children

vanilla ice cream with berries

lemonade, either light or ordinary, colour like what feels good in the shop

if hungry ordinary food that aren't warm anymore, maybe cooked vegetables, brown sauce with meat stripes and åieces of vegetables in it, rise and fresh sallad, but only quite little of the ordinary food and a lot of fresh vegetable sallad, for example equal size peices of tomato, cuycumber and leaf sallad, mixed,kept in cool for a while and served.

If on a hot day's evening one feels weakbor fragile and as if crying, one can est a normal meal, even a quite heavy one.

* * *

For west coast of usa small sallad leaves like at the center of a ball like sallad as snacks.

For midwestern usa lingonberry porridge (pink, airy, eaten with cool milk).

For eastern usa a dish that loiks somewhat like a big green worm, or a green bakery which has been squeezed a luttle bit by gummy strings, maybe the thickness of a palm. Of sallad or some green plant, cooked schrimp or lax, and some milk product like airy butter like cheese or what is it used in desserts.

Wisdom of life

 Finnish speaking Finns have trafitionally had lots of wisdom of life and because of that a much more sovereign position. 

Wisdom of life is different from tricks. Wisdom, i.e. also wisdom of life, is on a general level and good for a large group of people  typically for all fairly. That is why it is benefical to give it podition yo affect things around much like a custom would affect. It is not just a trick with which one person or a few survives well in a certsin situation. Instead it is very good healthy kind of influence for life if it affects more widely, if it is followed in the life st large. Such is to be judged by it's effect and by it's grounds on a general level. One cannot judt decide to give it position, but instead obe needs to know thar it affects very benefically and wisely to all fairly.

Finns typically have lits of such skills, for example at least a thousand pieces of wisdom which they follow in their life. Examples of such are the advices in this blog: those are my personal wisdom of life and help me in life, for example the weather skills, healthy ways of doing and understanfing of how people can build a society that is good to live in, offers good life for all fairly.
