Pamela A. Almon's "Mass Transportation Operators' Beliefs About Visual Impairment" in Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness; Jan2001, Vol. 95 Issue 1, p. 5, investigated 171 mass transit operators'beliefs about blindness and the factors that may influence their beliefs.
Jason and Sheri Wells-Jensen and Gabrielle Belknap have studied how casual exposure to braille (a form of writing for the visually impaired) affects sighted people's attitudes towards blindness. The article is published in Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness; Mar2005, Vol. 99 Issue 3, p133-140.
The title of this article speaks for itself: "In the Darkness There Can Be Light: A Family's Adaptation to a Child's Blindness" by Alissa A. Ulster and Beverley J.…

If you have the 4-digit PIN code plus your own library card, you can make a reservation directly via this link http://luettelo.helmet.fi/record=b2360187~S9*fin (there are already two reservations waiting for Munkkiniemi library to get their copy, so anyway you have to wait). If you do not yet have the PIN code, you have to visit some of the HelMet libraries and get one. You can make a reservation in library anytime.

Books from the Helmet libraries can only be returned to one of their own libraries. If you have not saved an email address to your library card, you can only reset your pin number in-person at the service counter of any Helmet library. If creating a new pincode is not working for other reasons, get in contact with the Helmet libraries directly. This is done by going to their website - Libraries and services | Helmet - and selecting a library, which provides the phone number and e-mail contact details for particular libraries within the Helmet network. They can further assist you on creating a new pin code and may be able to renew your loans remotely, provided they do not have reservations.
I understood you need information on using linux OS in different supercomputer systems.
Short history of supercomputers in general is on page
http://www.aspsys.com/clusters/beowulf/history/
http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/9721 tells us more about the history of supercomputers and linux, for example:
"Clustering technology enabled large number of Linux machines to be combined into a single computing entity, a parallel computer. In April 1996, researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory used Linux to run 68 PCs as a single parallel processing machine to simulate atomic shock waves.But unlike other Supercomputers costing a fortune, it was rather cheap. The do-it-yourself supercomputer cost only $152,000, including labor (connecting the 68…
Search engine or search service is a software that searches the Internet for information. Database is an organized collection of information (data) of one or more specific areas (The New Penguin English Dictionary, London 2000).
More about the search engine and the database you can read in the english Wikipedia, a free Internet encyclopedia. The addresses of the sites are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_engine

Unfortunately, this textbook is not available in any Finnish library. It seems that no library in Europe has this title, so an interlibrary loan is not possible.

In Lahti City Library there is only online catalogue (no cards). We cannot say for sure what the situation is in other libraries in Finland. However, we found a figure from 2002 stating that 97% of the public libraries were computerized. You might find these links to Finnish library information useful:
http://www.libraries.fi/en-GB/

We were unable to locate the terms in any online education dictionaries but you can apply the term skill - the power or ability to perform a task well, especially because of training or practic - to communication and language skills.
However, here are a couple of good online dictionaries:

I found only one article called "The Reminiscences of Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan", in which at least one trip to Finland was mentioned. Sir Muhammad Zafrulla Khan visited Finland in 1913, and he went through all the lakes up to the north. He also shot rapids in Ulea river (Oulu-joki in Finnish). The link to the article is available here:
https://www.alislam.org/library/books/Sir-Zafrulla-Khan-Interviews.pdf
There is also this website https://zafrullahkhan.weebly.com/ but with the quick browsing I didn't find any mention of trips to Finland.
It is of utmost importance that you report the loss of your library card immediately to any Helmet library. For information see https://www.helmet.fi/en-US/Info/FAQ/FAQ__Troubleshooting(987).
You are not responsible for the loans that have been checked out on your card after you have reported the card lost, but until you report the loss of your library card you may be held responsible.
A new card is liable to charge. Information on libray cards and all costs can be found on www.helmet.fi>Info>Using the library.

As you have noticed yourself, it's quite hard to find information about neem contraceptive products.
There is a list of links concerning alternative medicine in this address:
http://www.fimnet.fi/linkit/Laaketiede/Vaihtoehtolaaketiede/index.html
Perhaps you can find there some further information about these products, and places where to buy them.
You can also visit the homepage of Finnish Medical Association.
http://www.laakariliitto.fi/e/index.html
You can ask there if they know any doctors, who can tell you more about these contraceptive products.
According to the history of the Espoo City Library, Kun pienestä tuli suuri (Tuovi Määttänen, editor, Espoon kaupunginkirjasto 2006), the library in the area was first a room in the school. In the end of the 1980's school needed the room and 1988 a building for the Karhusuo library was built. Now library is again in the same building as the school when a new school was built in the area in 2020.
This video is from the 1988 building: https://www.kirjastokaista.fi/espoon-kirjastot-karhusuo/
Unfortunately there is neither a referencebook nor a database available, which would contain information on the deceased all over the country. What I recommend you to do is to find out the city or county where your father lived and contact the parish register office. However, if he was killed in the Second Worldwar (1939-1945) you most propably will find this information in the address http://tietokannat.mil.fi which contains the file of fallen soldiers in the war 1939-45. This database is available also in English. If you are interested in genealogic research I recommend you to check http://www.genealogia.fi , which has excellent links, too. Another useful address http://www.familysearch.org , which is run by the Church of Jesus Christ…
I do not seem to be able to find information about the games you mean in the databases available in public libraries, probably mainly because news from that period have not yet been indexed in the article reference data bases.
There are, however, two institutions that would probably be able to help you. (I assume you mean athletic games for the deaf.)
Suomen Urheilukirjasto ("Finnish Athletic Library",
http://www.stadion.fi/Urheilumuseo/kirjasto/kirjasto.html has a wide archive of different materials about athletics. Their home pages only seem to exist in Finnish, but I am sure you can contact them directly, E-mail: urheilukirjasto@stadion.fi
The other organization for you to contact is Finnish Athletic Association of the Deaf (Suomen…
