A general view during the 2022 NHL Global Series Challenge between the Nashville Predators and the San Jose Sharks at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic, on Oct. 7, 2022.

In February, the NHL will host its first-ever 4 Nations Face-Off, an international event where league players from Canada, Sweden, Finland and the U.S. will play for their native countries.

The hope is that increasing exposure for NHL players on a global stage will be a tailwind for the league.

Framery has roughly 400 employees around the world, but its roots in Finland run deep throughout its work culture that promotes worker engagement and satisfaction. Finland, after all, is the happiest country in the world for the seventh year running, according to the latest World Happiness Report. "I can ask any questions I need to ask in order to succeed in my role, or ask questions for the best of the company," Hallila says. Leaders are encouraged to help their employees work with this mindset, Hallila says. "You can work and work and work," she says, "but whether you actually achieve more is questionable."

[1/3] Finland's Prime Minister and Social Democrats leader Sanna Marin speaks at the party's parliamentary election event in Helsinki, Finland April 2, 2023. Lehtikuva/Emmi Korhonen via REUTERSHELSINKI, April 2 (Reuters) - Here is a profile of Finland's outgoing Prime Minister Sanna Marin, whose left-wing Social Democrats lost a parliamentary election on Sunday, although they might still join the next coalition with election winner the National Coalition Party. Born in 1985 in Helsinki, she grew up near Finland's south-western industrial hub of Tampere with her mother and her mother's girlfriend. Only six months in, then-party chair Antti Rinne was forced to resign over his handling of labour strikes, and the Social Democratic Party (SDP) chose Marin to replace him as prime minister. Marin soon found herself managing Finland's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and then Europe's energy crunch caused by neighbouring Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Ovechkin's power-play goal at 8:55 of the second period came in his 1,287th game with Washington, snapping a tie with Hockey Hall of Famer Gordie Howe. Anthony Mantha set up that goal and scored one of his own before the Coyotes stormed back. Ritchie's first goal of the game sailed just under the crossbar and over the goal line to forge a tie at 9:45. Zetterlund's second goal of the game also snapped New Jersey's eight-game losing streak to Calgary. Gourde finished with a goal and two assists, Tanev added an assist, and Vince Dunn also scored for the Kraken.
Brad Pitt has made a surprise debut as a sculptor, unveiling a set of hand-crafted works at an art museum in Finland in what appears to be his first-ever public art exhibition. Pitt, 58, unveiled the sculptures on Saturday at an exhibition at the Sara Hildén Art Museum in Tampere, Finland. The surprise debut was part of a larger exhibition by British artist Thomas Houseago, with Australian musician Nick Cave also displaying his own artwork at the show. The Sara Hildén Art Museum said in a news release that it was "exciting to get to experience a new and different artistic side" of Pitt and Cave, frontman of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. "It’s about where I have gotten it wrong in my relationships, where have I misstepped, where am I complicit,” Pitt was quoted as saying.

Lista publicată joi de EEA s-a bazat pe o evaluare a peste 320 de oraşe din Europa. Au fost măsurate particulele în suspensie din 26 de ţări ale UE, precum şi din Islanda, Norvegia şi Elveţia. În România, cel mai curat aer se consideră că se găseşte la Sinaia. Specialiştii susţin că acesta ar fi fost principalul motiv pentru care în staţiunea de pe Valea Prahovei a fost construit Palatul Peleş.
