I designed a birthday greeting card for one of my friends. It came out so well that you might also like it and congratulate your friend by sending a card. I enclose a card template here so that you can add your greeting yourself. Adding text is comfortable with the free PhotoScape X software.

Suunnittelin eräälle ystävälleni syntymäpäiväonnittelukortin. Se onnistui omasta mielestäni sen verran hyvin, että sinä saattaisit pitää siitä ja onnitella ystävääsi lähettämällä kortin. Oheistan tähän myös korttipohjan, joten voit itse lisätä oman tervehdyksesi. Tekstin lisääminen käy mainiosti ilmaisella PhotoScape X -ohjelmalla.
The video below shows how to add text in PhotoScape X.

Katsoin juuri televisiodokumentin tekoälystä ja sen mahdollisista vaaroista. Ohjelman tekijöiden mielestä ihmisten tarkkaileminen ja manipulointi ovat hälyttäviä ilmiöitä. Tätä taustaa vasten tarkasteltuna ”Kulutuksen vanki” -runoni sai uutta ulottuvuutta. Sen lisäksi, että algoritmit ohjaavat meidän kulutustamme, olemme olleet kulutusrobotteja jo ennen tietotekniikan vallankumousta.
Runo kuvaa sitä, kuinka tämä ohjailu repii sielua, mutta mitä vaihtoehtoja ihmisellä on toimia, jos et omista maata ja voi sitä viljellä. Metsään ei niin vaan mennä erakoksi, kun sen omistaa yksityinen ihminen tai sitten se on valtion metsää, jolle on säädetty muut käyttötarkoitukset kuin oravanpyörästä hyppääminen.
I just watched a television documentary about artificial intelligence and its potential dangers. The authors of the program consider the observation and manipulation of people to be alarming phenomena. Against this background, my ”Prisoner of Consumption” poem took on a new dimension. In addition to the fact that algorithms control our consumption, we have been consuming robots before the information technology revolution.
The poem describes how this maneuver tears the soul and what options you have, mostly if you do not own the land and cultivate it. The landless human being can’t go into the forest as a hermit when a private person or state owns it.
The Appeal
HI,
I have been thinking about where humans are leading. The internet is coming more and more against humanity and making money for a handful of people. This punch in small doesn’t think of the consequence of this route. They are feverishly thinking of achievements and hear their name when humankind is speaking of these results in the future.
This very shortsighted thinking doesn’t consider that there are no people to talk about anything while these results are coming to reality. Even some of the AI developers admit that AI can lead to a disastrous. Stephen Hawking warns artificial intelligence could end humankind. Read the article https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-30290540
Because I am a relatively old person, I appeal to all of you to carry the torch of the People’s Internet and AI forward. It should burst into flame spontaneously like ”Me too campaign.”
So, what are you waiting for? Jus make TWITTER know this idea: Peoples AI. It is AI that works for people united and from them. It would help if you didn’t mention my name. Just introduce the People’s AI as your idea, and it will get more supporters.
The day before yesterday, I was down by the blue riverside and didn’t know how to pull myself together. Finally, I prayed that Lord relieved me from the pain that was tearing me into pieces. I fell asleep without getting any help. After a while, I waked up because I felt that a bird was singing in my room. It was on the window ledge, but the window was open. I peeped behind the curtain, and I saw a little sparrow who sang from the bottom of its heart. It was slightly downy so that it has stared its first summer and everything was new for it. I knocked the window gently to get its attention, but it didn’t respond. When I added the volume, it almost fell from the ledge before it flew away. I managed to snap many pictures but only reached its back.
This incident helped me, but only a moment. The dark clouds started to gather around me again. I crept back to my bed even it was sunny noon. I was on the twilight light zone when I heard a muffled bump. “Too heavy approaching,” I smiled and checked that everything was all right. Yes, my savior from heaven sat again on the window ledge and perhaps thought: “What was that. I didn’t see anything”. I dressed and went out, saying to myself: “If that small creature has the strength to move on, I can’t be worse.”
I published this article on Yelling Rosa Weblog. It was there most liked article. From the beginning of this year, I have uploaded material only to this Yelling Rosa Blogi, where you are now, but it is good to know that Yelling Rosa Weblog has three hundred posts, and it still has 5418 followers.
I uploaded this article here in the hope of giving a little joy to my readers. I was in two minds, should I upload this or not. I hope that I did the right thing, and this article gives positive things to its reader. I wish to be in the role of a minor part-actor. YR
Minä kerään vuoteni niin kuin verevät kanervat nippuun. Korkealle vuorelle matkaan yksin ja avaan muistoni tuulen kuljetettavaksi kuin lintuja luotani. Varsien, nuppujen ja lehtien toivon maahan päätyvän, minne jalallaan ihminen ei ole astunut.
I’m collecting my years Like bleeding heathers To the red bunch. I travel to a high mountain And open my memories To be carried by the wind Like birds from me. Stems, buds And leaves I hope Landing there Where no foot Of man is Stepped.
I have heard that Finns are grave people who don’t know how to make fun, but let me show the other side of the coin.
The Merry July to Everybody looks like this:
The Funny Finnish Folk Song
Violinist Pekka Kuusisto brings his homeland to the Prinsengracht with the Finnish folk song ’Piupali Paupali, Piupali Paupali’, where everyone can sing along.
Violist Pekka Kuusisto brengt zijn thuisland naar de Prinsengracht met het Finse volksliedje ’Piupali Paupali, Piupali Paupali’, waarbij iedereen mag meezingen.
And if you get wild, you can perform the song like this
J. Karjalainen sings the song.
My analysis of the song
If we look at our song a little more closely, I notice that it contains much more than what Pekka Kuusisto says in his introduction in Amsterdam. Of course, this is just my analysis. You might disagree with me.
In the first verse, someone asks the boys who these boys are, because that someone doesn’t know the young rascals. This someone is probably the Shoemaker’s wife because the official name of the song is ”Lullaby of the Shoemaker’s wife”. The Lullaby also refers to the evening or night. That piupali paupali could indicate that the boys are in a festive mood.
In another verse, it is clear that the boys have come to pick up their shoes. Since I assume they’re in a festive mood, they might be looking for their dance shoes. Isn’t very reassuring that the Shoemaker has gone to the village all week to sew (verse 3). Why has Shoemaker gone to the town from his study? This absence may tell that it is a market season.
The information in the fourth verse tells that the Shoemaker will not return until next week and that the boys may then come to pick up the shoes increase boys’ frustration.
However, they don’t forget to leave greetings to the Miina girl, who could be a daughter of a shoemaker who has gone to help her father to knit (verse 5).
The boys leave the house irritated and drunk, because why would someone (maybe the hostess) otherwise have told them not to pour the milk churn in the hallway when they are marching out of the house. Not in a normal situation would anyone even manage to pour churn. They are not in the middle of the hallway (verse 6).
However, the joyful tone of the narrative shows an understanding of their festive mood and disappointment.
Nyt olen saanut laululleni On My Own Path laulajan. Hänen nimensä on Amy, joka on syntetisoitu lauluääni. Se on tuotettu japanilaisessa Vocaloid –ohjelmassa. Olen ponnistellut pitkään sen kanssa, että Amy kuulostaisi mahdollisimman luontevalta. Toivottavasti te kuulijani olette samaa mieltä kanssani, että lopputulos on kohtalaisen hyvä.

When I was a little boy, I liked to sit in the forest
And looking at how the wind lulled the leaves,
And grass and my reddish hair.
Soon I was sure that all living things breathed
in the same beat, and most of the times,
The harmony rules all beings of the earth.
I told my parents about this happiness
But they weren’t happy.
They worried that the child
isn’t healthy.
At the age of ten, I stood on the bus platform
And we watched how to thick smoke came
From the tailpipes of the vehicles.
I asked my friend would all that gas
Disappear in the air.
He laughed at me:
Of course, it will vanish.
His attitude insults me
And I added angrily:
If it didn’t, there should be
The hole in the sky
For it to go away,
But that whole
Is not possible,
Cause the air
Would die away.
On the sixth grade
I said to my teacher
Who looked down on her
Nose the animal kingdom,
That animals have feelings
And they even think.
The teacher of the biology
Commanded me out of the class:
”You are disturbing the lesson.”
When I was at my middle ages
They started globalization.
I realized right away that it wouldn’t
Work in the long run,
But people considered
Me to be a pessimist.
Just now I see
How the virus cor20 and more
Is behind the corner, but nobody cares.
They are sure that everything is back normal
After some months or so.
The world doesn’t need any extra cautions.
I have been in two minds about publishing this poem. I know that people won’t believe anything in time, but the reason for this poem can be elsewhere. I let you decide what it might be. I deny the comments this time because I have no patience to listen to how it wouldn’t be time for U-turn to save humankind.
Always when someone is talking about the U-turn, the message is argued against by saying that humankind can’t go backward. For them, I reply that how many milliards years it is backward when the globe is not surrounded by decent oxygen.
YES FOR GOING BACK TO THE 18th CENTURY
YES FOR THE LOCALISATION, 12/4 –20
Wake people up from Princess Aurora’s sleep. If we don’t stop globalization, the next time we run out of food, if not this time. Each country must have its national medical equipment and food production in the event of global crises.
Humanos evelia su ab le somno del princessa Aurora. Si nos non stoppa globalisation, le vice proxime nostre alimento finira. Omne pais debe haber le proprie national medical equipamento e nutrimento production in caso del crises global.
Sain muutama päivä sitten tilaamani venäjä-interlingua-venäjä -sanakirjan. Hienoa kirjan kohdalla on se, että se on kahdensuuntainen, kun yleensä Union Mundial pro Interlingua –järjestön julkaisut ovat yhdensuuntaisia, esim. English to Interlingua jne. Puutteeksi katson sen, että venäjänkielen puolella ei ole kerrottu sanojen sanaluokkia. Esimerkkejä on myös niukasti tai jos niitä on ne eivät ole kokonaisia lauseita. Myös sanapainot puuttuvat. Sivuja kirjassa on 364 kappaletta. Kirjan voi tilata esimerkiksi Lulu.comista.

Unfortunately, the translation is not always as good as this, but in most cases, it reveals the idea of the Interlingua sentence.
