Xylitol is non-dietary sugar alcohol. Its main benefit is in dental hygiene. It mimics natural sugars so well that it fits in the correct "hole" in the bacteria that causes cavity, tricking it to consider it as food. But since it is not food, it will remain in that "hole" and block it, and the bacteria dies as a result. It also neutralizes mouth pH. If you are travelling always keep xylitol gum or candies with you, chew them after eating and you won't arrive in your hotel with a bad breath... it does not replace brushing but it can delay it. Its one of those traveling tips that once you try it, you will never not-do it. Like, having an extra pair of socks in carry-on luggage..

Nokia has made all sorts of products, and Nokia boots are still popular here. The company started as a pulp mill, then started making rubber things, tyres and boots for example, and then cables. Then from cables to electronics and telecommunications. They're one of the few companies that make 5G towers. They also got selected by NASA to build the first cellular network on the moon few years ago, not sure of the current state of those plans though.
@@lukezi3952 Nokian boots and tyres are both made by different companies, split from Nokia. Nokian Renkaat split from Nokia in 1988 and Nokian Jalkineet in 1990. So yes, you aren't wrong, but they have a shared history that I was referencing.
Started off as a pulp mill in 1860s, partnered with a rubber/cable factory in 1920s, started making electronics, merged into a corporation in 1967, started making communications equipment, started focusing in on that and other parts got split off.

Nokia cell phone production was bought by Microsoft, and a few years later cancelled it. It was a real shady affair. Former Microsoft executive become a president of Nokia, which then acted as a negotiator on the sell for Microsoft, and once the deal was done he got a lot of money as a thanks and he got a well paying job at Microsoft again. So he probably was a mole all along that was sent to Nokia to make the deal happen. There is still Nokia production in Finland, but they make tires, rubber boots, etc which was their main business model before they ever started to make phones.
The rubber boots and tyres are not made by Nokia but a company called Nokian. It was separated from the original Nokia when they started to focus on technology. Nokia itself is still alive and doing business in technology, just a little different than in the 90's. They mostly work with network infrastructure these days.
yes, as the then President of Finland Tarja Halonen explained, she felt as if the family had found the perfect groom for the bride, but got a disappointing surprise. This is what is known by AI: Stephen Elop, the former president of Microsoft’s Business Division, was appointed as the CEO of Nokia in September 2010 12. He was hired to help usher in new changes at Nokia and implement its turnaround strategy. In 2013, Microsoft announced that it would acquire Nokia’s device and services division for $7.2 billion. After the acquisition, Elop returned to Microsoft as the Executive Vice President of the Devices Group. He was responsible for the development of Microsoft’s hardware products, including the Surface tablet and Lumia smartphones. Elop left Microsoft in 2015 after the company announced a major restructuring plan.
Nokia made the first touch screen phone, but back then some big jeffs denied the idea saying it doesnt work or people dont like it and few years later Apple released their first touchscreen phone. Apple did kinda same to Nokia than it did to Microsoft, stole the idea, stole the kodec, "copied" "borrowed" as they like to say these days.

NOKIA was in rubber manufacturing industry originally, Nokia Tires was also part of it. But thru its history it has always been looking for new areas to expand to and bought companies to get the knowhow. They first bought a cable making company, then expanded to electronics, then to communication networks. And communication networks has always been #1 field for Nokia, even during the mobile phone boom of the 90s, its bread&butter was networks.

Greetings from the town Nokia! Yes, it's a place near Tampere, kinda small. Still have the Nokia tyres factory here, also made rubber boots back in the day.
Nokia is still there making phones (company HMD Global). Made lot of new smartphones and remake of old models. Startup company who bought the brand name in 2016 for 10 years, actually started by old Nokia employees. So its not gone
It's not the same. 😢 Nokia had a real chance of being one of the big ones. Nokia had MeeGo together with Intel and at that time it was light years ahead of Apple, Google and Microsoft. But then there was that hostile takeover from Microsoft with the first North American CEO coming from Microsoft and ending MeeGo and transferring to Microsoft's operating system which was a bad joke. I had been a loyal Nokia customer since Nokia 2110i, but after N95 I was thinking about Nokia N900, but then MeeGo was sacked and I had to buy a Samsung Galaxy S I. When HMD Global bought Nokia back as an Android phone there were already more interesting options available. Like OnePlus phones.
"The Mir submersibles can dive to a maximum depth of 6,000 metres (19,685 ft)." This was ground breaking at the time.

Nokia Oy, in the early 1960's was a company that produced tires for cars and rubber boots. I believe the Finnish army had wireless telephones already at that time. Some arrangements were made and Nokia started the production, at first, of heavy but portable wireless telephones that were used especially in cars. This became normal as the link towers were built to cover all of Finland.
Finns have a ton of inventions and improvements on existing things, but we don't really like to boast about them. 😅 From those text messages to heart rate monitors to Adidas' three stripes (originally an Finnish invention by sports brand Karhu.). While fashion may not be seen as important, it's the perfect example of a Finnish invention: you wear it, I wear it. Everybody wears it. Nobody knows who came up with it. 😊
AND apparently invented skiing also, in ancient times Finnish hunters skis were strange, one ski was shorter than the other, there was a "lyly", a longer ski used for the slide and there was the "kalhu", a short ski to push along with. Maybe such a fashion might be found in the future too!!!
Nokia is also actually a town in Finland that is in Pirkanmaa. And the rubber boot factory actually is originally from the town of Nokia. Phones were never manufactured in Nokia though, although lot of foreigners do go visit Nokia because they think the mobile phones were made there. Nokia also used to make paper in Nokia. But all that phone related stuff happened in the capital region. And Nokia as a town has repeatedly been asked to commemorate the company it gave birth to, but it has always declined, on the grounds that mobile phones were never produced there.
its funny tho.. nokia kind of invented touch screen phones too.. but some idiot said its not gonna be "big thing" and they just leave it there... look at apple and samsung now...BIIIIG MISTAKE
Nokia and us Finnish folks are the reason we have these mobile devices. Nokia pioneered a lot of that stuff and were innovative on a whole other level. Mobile devices have fallen into this incremental advancement cycle which provides a little more processing power per year and nothing really changes all that much... When Nokia was still running things on this side, there were multiple new things invented and the devices didn't just get a new processor to fuel the data crunch, but things that were really wow inducing. Mistakes were made along the way though and shacking up with Microsoft was the fatal blow to this industry here in Finland. It was fun while it lasted, but now we are left with no one to push the boundaries of these devices and things are not advancing any more in any meaningful way. Mobile devices have come a long way from the initial car phones to these compact devices we have today.
Nokia brand opn and you can make calls with the same price-quality ratio, other Android phones are also building those 5G networks, and if I understood correctly, you can find network connections built by Nokia in almost every country, but it just the name left if I Unfersantigr right.
Yes, the first winter tyres were invented in Finland. But there's more. Guess which company famous for its rubber footwear invented them? That's right: Nokia. If only they still made tyres, right? OMG! They still do! They are called NOKIAn Tyres now (the company was split from the Nokia Corporation in the 1960s). But what about those rubber boots? No way! They're still made too, by NOKIAn Footwear! I had no idea Nokia was Finnish though; what a crazy name, right? It got its name from the town in Finland where it started: Nokia (near Tampere). But 'NokiaN? Yeah, in Finnish you add an N to make something genitive. So Nokian is equivalent to 'Nokia's' in English. Mind blown yet? 😁
The Nokia name was not known to be from Finland. Actually, almost the whole world considered it to be a Japanese name, including my own Finnish children, who at about age 10, had noticed cell phones and were surprised to find out that NOKIA is a Finnish company.
I remember when one of my relatives climbed to a roof to do some job, they swayed a bit and their Nokia phone dropped onto asphalt. It worked well many years after that. Disclaimer, their phone took even a dip in the toilet and lake and it worked. Imagine dropping a smartphone, would it survive as well as Nokia did? 😂

Lol what do you mean Apple doesn't have a rival? Nobody uses iPhones here, it's all Android country. (In reality 35% use iPhones, 65% some Android device.) I would never touch an iPhone if it wasn't for work related stuff, but my personal smart phone has Android.
i have a nokia smart phone... might not be as durable as THE Nokia phone but it has dropped more than a few times and i haven't bought any casing or screen protector for it...
Nokia stopped making phones after the mistake of going to bed with Microsoft, but a company called HMD global makes the brand name Nokia. I wouldn't compare Nokia, old or new with Apple. Nokia has always been affordable. The new HMD Nokia phones are also affordable for folks who cannot afford to buy Apple products. This message is written on HMD Nokia phone that cost under £200.
Matti didn't invent text messaging, he was the first one to implement it in a commercial phone in 1994. The first commercial deployment of a short message service center (SMSC) was by Aldiscon part of Logica (now part of CGI) with Telia (now TeliaSonera) in Sweden in 1993. The protocol was invented in 1986 and the first text message was " Merry christmas" that was sent by engineers at Vodaphone in 1992.
Finland didn't invent the mobile phone. Ask a lefthanded how good fiskars Scissors are. Finns didn't invent EKG either. Better to talk about Linux, which e.g. Android is based on. A true Finnish invention.
I think she doesn't really know what EKG is. She showed a picture of a wireless heart rate monitor which was the Finnish invention she was talking about but EKG is not the same thing at all. But she didn't say that Finns invented the mobile phone but that Nokia phones where Finnish. I'm happy to tell you that Fiskars makes great scissors for left handed people aswell ✂.
@@bengtolsson5436 There is really alot of innovations on Apple phones and others, and they pay patent royalties to Nokia still. Google Nokia patents and you find out.
@@bengtolsson5436 What really is an invention? Usually these kind of lists consist of more than just things that are strictly considered patented inventions. Nokia phones were a phenomenon just like the Angry Birds game is. But I'm sure that Nokia also had many patented parts in their phones if that is the measure of an invention. She could've also talk about AIV-fodder which really was an important invention and earned a Nobel prize to it's inventor, a Finnish chemist Artturi Virtanen. Or the inventions in medical technology like the modern digital blood pressure meters by Omron.

While fashion may not be seen as important, it's the perfect example of a Finnish invention: you wear it, I wear it. Everybody wears it. Nobody knows who came up with it. 😊
To add to the game list:
Max Payne, Alan Wake, Control..
AND apparently we also invented ice skates ( made out of bone/horn) (??) !!
AND apparently invented skiing also, in ancient times Finnish hunters skis were strange, one ski was shorter than the other, there was a "lyly", a longer ski used for the slide and there was the "kalhu", a short ski to push along with. Maybe such a fashion might be found in the future too!!!
No, Nokia was not Apple. Nokia phones worked and didn't break from just looking at them. Also, Apple's marketshare is like 5%, Nokia's was over 50%!
I have had a couple of iPhones and they didn't broke even if i dropped them multiple times.
Oura Ring ❤ thank you Finland!
Rovio in Rovio entertainment means Something that is burning big time. Like big bonfire or Kokko in the mid summer party.
Rovio is stake in English.
@@mixlllllll i guess i know what it means in finnish since i am finnish and it means big burning fire like a "juhannuskokko".
Nokia is also actually a town in Finland that is in Pirkanmaa. And the rubber boot factory actually is originally from the town of Nokia. Phones were never manufactured in Nokia though, although lot of foreigners do go visit Nokia because they think the mobile phones were made there. Nokia also used to make paper in Nokia. But all that phone related stuff happened in the capital region. And Nokia as a town has repeatedly been asked to commemorate the company it gave birth to, but it has always declined, on the grounds that mobile phones were never produced there.
its funny tho.. nokia kind of invented touch screen phones too.. but some idiot said its not gonna be "big thing" and they just leave it there... look at apple and samsung now...BIIIIG MISTAKE
Nokia and us Finnish folks are the reason we have these mobile devices. Nokia pioneered a lot of that stuff and were innovative on a whole other level. Mobile devices have fallen into this incremental advancement cycle which provides a little more processing power per year and nothing really changes all that much... When Nokia was still running things on this side, there were multiple new things invented and the devices didn't just get a new processor to fuel the data crunch, but things that were really wow inducing. Mistakes were made along the way though and shacking up with Microsoft was the fatal blow to this industry here in Finland. It was fun while it lasted, but now we are left with no one to push the boundaries of these devices and things are not advancing any more in any meaningful way. Mobile devices have come a long way from the initial car phones to these compact devices we have today.
Nokia brand opn and you can make calls with the same price-quality ratio, other Android phones are also building those 5G networks, and if I understood correctly, you can find network connections built by Nokia in almost every country, but it just the name left if I Unfersantigr right.
Yes, the first winter tyres were invented in Finland. But there's more. Guess which company famous for its rubber footwear invented them? That's right: Nokia. If only they still made tyres, right? OMG! They still do! They are called NOKIAn Tyres now (the company was split from the Nokia Corporation in the 1960s). But what about those rubber boots? No way! They're still made too, by NOKIAn Footwear! I had no idea Nokia was Finnish though; what a crazy name, right? It got its name from the town in Finland where it started: Nokia (near Tampere). But 'NokiaN? Yeah, in Finnish you add an N to make something genitive. So Nokian is equivalent to 'Nokia's' in English. Mind blown yet? 😁
The Nokia name was not known to be from Finland. Actually, almost the whole world considered it to be a Japanese name, including my own Finnish children, who at about age 10, had noticed cell phones and were surprised to find out that NOKIA is a Finnish company.
Nokia still exists to this day
There might be some connection to something, why we (Finns) build things that are almost indestructible.. Black boxes, Nokia phones...
I remember when one of my relatives climbed to a roof to do some job, they swayed a bit and their Nokia phone dropped onto asphalt.
It worked well many years after that. Disclaimer, their phone took even a dip in the toilet and lake and it worked.
Imagine dropping a smartphone, would it survive as well as Nokia did? 😂
I dropped my Nokia in the toilet and it broke immediately lol
No. The best way to communicate with a mobile phone is CALLING 😄. Not texting or ising apps.
in need to see u in Sauna with finnis person whit honor not like i gonna get u out here whit "löyly" (thats the word when u throw more water in stove) but like normal sessio without any competition :D
Nokia still makes phones
Yes these old invention are great, but what is the next big invention that we can be proud of?
Linux, the core of every Android phone. Runs 96% of the Internet. Runs the AI revolution! Made in Finland.
Lol what do you mean Apple doesn't have a rival? Nobody uses iPhones here, it's all Android country. (In reality 35% use iPhones, 65% some Android device.) I would never touch an iPhone if it wasn't for work related stuff, but my personal smart phone has Android.
i have a nokia smart phone... might not be as durable as THE Nokia phone but it has dropped more than a few times and i haven't bought any casing or screen protector for it...
For old Nokia phones the case was not to protect the phone, it was to protect the floor.
Nokia stopped making phones after the mistake of going to bed with Microsoft, but a company called HMD global makes the brand name Nokia. I wouldn't compare Nokia, old or new with Apple. Nokia has always been affordable. The new HMD Nokia phones are also affordable for folks who cannot afford to buy Apple products. This message is written on HMD Nokia phone that cost under £200.
I think a big part of Nokia falling off in the phone market, was them focusing on windows phones, instead of going with Android like everyone else.
That was the second reason, first was not taking touchscreens seriously
Matti didn't invent text messaging, he was the first one to implement it in a commercial phone in 1994. The first commercial deployment of a short message service center (SMSC) was by Aldiscon part of Logica (now part of CGI) with Telia (now TeliaSonera) in Sweden in 1993.
The protocol was invented in 1986 and the first text message was " Merry christmas" that was sent by engineers at Vodaphone in 1992.
I followed loved Rachael's channel, but unfortunately she hasn't made any videos for a long time :(
Apple is just a luxury phone, which many people get fooled by. Shame to be honest.
👍👍
Nokia is sill here, hmd global producing nokia phones old and new
Please, don't learn how to speak Finnish from English speaker who is known to butcher pronounciation. "Kittos Mattille" means nothing in Finnish.
Finland didn't invent the mobile phone.
Ask a lefthanded how good fiskars Scissors are. Finns didn't invent EKG either. Better to talk about Linux, which e.g. Android is based on. A true Finnish invention.
I think she doesn't really know what EKG is. She showed a picture of a wireless heart rate monitor which was the Finnish invention she was talking about but EKG is not the same thing at all. But she didn't say that Finns invented the mobile phone but that Nokia phones where Finnish.
I'm happy to tell you that Fiskars makes great scissors for left handed people aswell ✂.
@@j3mixa But the Nokia phone is not an invention!
@@bengtolsson5436 There is really alot of innovations on Apple phones and others, and they pay patent royalties to Nokia still. Google Nokia patents and you find out.
@@bengtolsson5436 What really is an invention? Usually these kind of lists consist of more than just things that are strictly considered patented inventions. Nokia phones were a phenomenon just like the Angry Birds game is. But I'm sure that Nokia also had many patented parts in their phones if that is the measure of an invention.
She could've also talk about AIV-fodder which really was an important invention and earned a Nobel prize to it's inventor, a Finnish chemist Artturi Virtanen. Or the inventions in medical technology like the modern digital blood pressure meters by Omron.
You forgot Molotov cocktails invented during the winter war 1939-40 against Soviet Union attack to defend against their tanks and named after the Soviet foreign minister Molotov.🤔✌️
She said suomi on paras which translates to finland is the best
Birch trees are way too common for me
