Med anledning av Stefan Löfvéns tal på den stora demonstrationen i söndags, så kommer vi fortsätta trycka på att regeringen faktiskt kan göra något som hjälper nu. Regeringen har verktygen för möjlighet till snabba åtgärder, som kan förändra förutsättningarna för flyktingar att ta sig hit med livet i behåll:
• Skapa möjligheter på plats (där flyktingarna befinner sig) att söka asyl i Sverige. Det skulle kunna ske med mobila lösningar, men ett omedelbart steg som skulle vara oerhört verkningsfullt är att omgående tillåta asylsökningsprocesser på ambassader.
• Slopa transportörsansvaret. Det finns möjlighet för regeringen att befria flyg- och färjebolag från ansvaret att vid incheckning avgöra om någon har rätt att resa till Sverige.
Här kan du se Hans Rosling berätta om problemet med transportörsansvaret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO0IRsfrPQ4

You are amazing for sharing this. It's incredibly strong of you.
I think sharing is a good thing, even when you've had a bad day. And you keep getting back on the horse, which I admire you for, I adore you for it.
I don't want to make this into a "have you tried x yet" - comment, yet I really want to recommend The Healthy Habit Revolution, a great book with a 21 day guide, baby-steps. The author of the book has a tendency to reach out to readers, and he'll answer emails and offer extra support.
Think about it.

Vi har några bord över på mitt jobb, som med fördel skulle kunna fyllas av webbmänniskor som kanske har behov av ett kontor på Kungsholmen. Tänkte att jag slänger ut en förfrågan och se om det är några i mitt flöde som behöver (eller känner någon som behöver) det. Gärna webbfolk som sagt, vi jobbar med kommunikation och reklam, och gör allt mer grejer på webben, och den kompetensen skulle vara ett välkommet inslag hos oss! :)

Here's my issue with this day called Earth Day
Why is it, that we can only devote one day to bring awareness to the fact that we have a dying planet?
Just like Valentine's Day, we have compressed awareness to critically important issues to just one day.
And that's not enough! I'm sorry, but it's not.
Not when we have people who are homeless as a result of flooding, children who have to wear pollution masks to school, animals dying and becoming extinct because their homeland is no longer environmentally safe for them to live in, unseasonable droughts, unseasonable heatwaves, unseasonable tsunamis, extremely difficult winters.
But when will we choose to see these as issues every single day? When they have a direct effect on us? They already have!
Oh, but just because most of us aren't seeing immediate effects yet - you know what, look at all... more »

Interesting, and screw them.
First, I go to the cinema more now, than before Popcorn Time.
Second, It's time to catch up. This is the model that works. Popcorn time is even open source, use it and deliver your own movies as you prefer and the people will follow!
You can put it behind reasonable pay walls as well. I'd buy it, if I could get movies that are in the cinema each month. Just saying. Not everyone wants to watch in the cinema, for various reasons.

This 23min video gives you a small sample of the horrors that occurred there.

I'm wondering because I seem to have found that audiobooks help me take decent walks on a regular basis, and I'm trying to plan ahead to know what to do when I run out of the current set of Audiobooks I have. (which I got through +Humble Bundle, any more Audiobook bundles in the pipeline?)
Is the gold membership worth it, or is it better to buy the books you got time to listen to? All tips are welcome.

Lyric, Hammersmith, London W6
Anything Goes
Theatre Royal, London WC2
Life is Rhythm
Lyric, London WC2
Neil Bartlett's audacious treatment of Pericles suits it to perfection. This is a stunning production of a play that survives only in fragments - much of it not Shakespeare's handiwork. It would be good not to have to accept any substitutes - but necessary liberties have been taken: George Wilkins's The Painful Adventures of Pericles, Prince of Tyre (1608), is here employed to patch, if never invisibly to mend, the whole.
Bartlett works within the contrivances of the plot - enjoying its quirks - and yet creates a clearing within which Shakespeare's emotional climaxes are never obscured. Take Act Three - and the horror of the opening scene in which Pericles's wife Thaisa (winningly played by Sarah Malin) dies in childbirth on a ship. Pericles has not seen her since their daughter was born nor begun to weep for her before - for health and safety reasons - his crew insist he cast her overboard. This ghastly scene is made real by the sight of his wife wheeled in to him on a high bed, her white nightdress flowering with her blood. She is uncompromisingly present - and already absent.
And when later, the more challenging scene unfolds in which she turns out not to be dead at all - washed up in a coffin scented with spices - this also is played in a hyper-real way, with a medical team in white coats attendant on her. Clinical decisions are taken. But her revival is moving because of its impossibility - I wept as death was gradually, lyrically reversed.
Bartlett is responsible, too, for the enigmatic design, a set that appears to be the landing of a hospital (a chic one, with grey walls and black double doors) and the deck of a ship - a dreamed place. The set is perfect for a play that is a kind of reverie; there were many moments so beautiful I would like to have said: 'Stop! Let's see that again.' And there were points when - as if anticipating such a reaction - the actors did freeze. When Thaisa's father, Simonides (deli ciously smarmy Martin Turner) agrees to the marriage between Pericles and his daughter and invites them to dance, they take up a position in each other's arms but do not move. The dance does not begin. It is a moment in which their present and future are held together - suggestive of initial strangeness and of intimacy to come.
Three actors, in an excellent cast, stand out: Pascale Burgess's Marina is like an ardent nun - all gawky angles but with a pure, pale face. Bette Bourne is an original and diverting Gower, a lecturer/narrator who instructs us from a blackboard and who also, hilariously, doubles as a bookie, taking bets on Thaisa's suitors (the production is full of witty detail). As Pericles, Will Keen, in gold pyjamas, has glamour and intensity. And while it is shocking to see him dwindle into an in-patient of Blakean aspect (pyjamas replaced by sorry dressing-gown) we already know that, in this play at least, while there is a 'working pulse', there's hope.
Another boat was afloat last week: an ocean liner setting out on a far-from-maiden voyage.Trevor Nunn's sublime National Theatre production of Anything Goes has found its sea legs at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. The white ship still resembles a tiered wedding cake and the showmanship of the evening is as glorious as ever, especially the moment in which the ship/cake revolves to reveal the orchestra playing on its upper deck. In the smaller auditorium, the show feels less majestic but more intimate: from the stalls, it is possible to count the buttons on each fabulous sea-faring outfit (the work of maestro costume designer Anthony Powell).
Sally Ann Triplett's Reno Sweeney is still 'the top' - holding the show together - and giving Cole Porter's songs the red sequin treatment - with unflagging exuberance. Simon Day's Evelyn Oakleigh is killingly funny (though his aristocratic laugh - like a faulty waste disposal unit - isn't quite as perfect as once it was). Mary Stockley's Hope Harcourt still looks like a marvellous swan.
The sailors are anything but plain sailing - and John Barrowman's Billy Crocker is still hitting the high notes - looking like a younger and more hopeful version of Tony Blair. Barrie Ingham does well, too, as the new old boy in the cast - sadly replacing the late Denis Quilley as Elisha Whitney.
Life is Rhythm is one of the most eccentric pieces I've ever seen in the West End. A troupe of five men, the Camut Band, look as if - supposing they weren't performing - they might be propping up a bar in a Spanish village. These virtuoso tap dancers and percussionists (their show was a hit in Edinburgh) are keen to make an impression on more than the floor.
They do much of their work on top of giant drums. The resulting noise sounds like the charge of the heavy brigade: hundreds of horses bolting from their stables together, the patter of not-so-tiny feet. It is like a low-budget version of the hit dance show Stomp , minus the dustbin lids. But what are they banging on about? Rhythm rules, they want us to know.
In the most entertaining sketch, three men talk gibberish together to show how rhythm governs conversation and reveals personality. I couldn't help wishing for moments in which Life might turn out to be Silence. But the Camut Band got a great rapport with the audience and gave us all a lesson in clapping.

After a very sleepless night I left Marissa and Alex's place an hour early than planned, thinking I may as well get moving.

According to comments made in a recent interview, Redknapp seems to still find it hard to accept being snubbed in favour of Roy Hodgson for the post last season.
"I wouldn't take it [the England job] now, no. Not now, not in the future," Redknapp told Twentyfour7 Football magazine. "That was my time, really, if I was going to get it. Last year there were a lot of things that went against me surrounding that massive contractual clause.
"People will always deny that is the reason, the FA couldn't say that and I won't say, but it didn't help me.
"I had such a badly loaded contract it was crazy, in Tottenham's favour. That's what you get for not reading your contract properly. It was a massive amount that someone would have had to pay to get me out of it.
"If they sacked me it wasn't so massive and that was a bolt out of the blue, a shock, I genuinely never saw it coming."

Agricultural Land Protection Policy For Albania: Lessons From Western Europe, North America, And Japan
This report has been prepared as one effort to assist the Albanian government in formulating a policy approach appropriate to the conditions and culture of their country. The goal of this report is to examine the approach to agricultural land protection in other parts of the world, for the lessons they can provide to Albania. There is little recent literature on the subject of agricultural land protection policies. Most of the articles found in the English-language literature are six to ten years old, and in turn often rely on other sources that are several years older still. Thus, this survey should be viewed as a somewhat dated catalog of policy approaches which have been used at various times in the respective jurisdictions rather than as a statement of the current policy structure of a particular jurisdiction.

Don't be shy! It's a forum, say something
Meaning of scores shown on each episode
Just one basic question. I don't understand the scores shown on the thumbnail for each episode, for example Hang Em High shows 76/144 and Poached Egges has 136/189.
Should I be trying to get three starts on all the episodes and levels? Oops I guess that is two questions. Thanks.
3 Comments
1. It's the total of stars on that episode
2. Up to you (but you better to do it!)
189 = 63 levels * 3 stars each.
Thank you very much.
Will do.

Metrodome Group Returns to Profit in 2011
The British outfit, listed on the stock market, said strong trading at Hollywood Classics helped bolster figures while London riots in August last year hit financials.
LONDON – Metrodome, the U.K. distribution, finance and sales group, posted a return to profit for the year ending Dec. 31, 2011.
The group, listed on London's Alternative Investment Market, told the market Thursday revenues rose 21 percent to £16.8 million ($26.2 million) in 2011 from £13.9 million ($21.7 million) the previous year.
The company listed its £1.8 million ($2.8 million) acquisition of Hollywood Classics, the sales and distribution label for the theatrical distribution and marketing of classic film libraries from Universal, Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros. and the U.K. Film Council, among its operational highlights of the year.
Metrodome executive chairman Mark Webster said: "The period under review saw strong performances from Hollywood Classics and Metrodome Distribution. Both divisions were profitable and their continued growth at the start of 2012 bodes well for the rest of the year."
Titles on Hollywood Classics' shelves include Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Godfather and Psycho.
U.K. theatrical and home entertainment division Metrodome Distribution, which counts The Secret in their Eyes on its rollout roster, also traded in line with expectations.
The company posted pre-tax profits of £412,000 ($641,700) for the 12 months of 2011, a healthy turnaround from the £438,000 ($682,000) loss recorded during 2010.
But the company's underlying EBITDA hit £220,000 ($342,600) in 2011, a fall from £807,000 ($1.3 million) the previous year.
EBITDA consists of earnings from continuing operations before exceptional items, interest, tax, depreciation, amortization of software costs and amortization of acquired intangible assets.
The company said its distribution business – DVD sales and such – had also been hit by a fire at a Sony DADC warehouse burnt to the ground destroying 25 million discs owned by a variety of media companies during the London riots in August last year.
A company spokesman told THR that Metrodome had not released an official figure for the revenues lost as a result of the loss of stock.
At the beginning of this year, Metrodome put loss-making TV subsidiary Target Entertainment, into administration after telling the market it could "no longer continue to provide support to its loss-making subsidiary Target".
Said Webster: "The administration of Target Entertainment whilst regrettable was necessary to safeguard the remaining divisions of the Group and having taken decisive action we look to the future with confidence."
In December last year Metrodome told the stock exchange it expects operating profits to be "materially below current market expectations" on the back of a slump in sales at TV division Target.
The division, a regular at MIPTV and Mipcom boasts shows such as Scottish cop show Taggart and children's fayre Fifi and the Flowertots on its sales roster.

Before we get into the thick of things, we didn't have a photo of our huge plasma screens hanging from the convention ceiling to share in our Day 1 recap, so we vowed to get that to you today! The 11 foot wide screens stream amazing works of art from Artists' Alley participants to the whole convention floor!
In Comic-Cons past, the foot traffic In Artists' Alley got busier and busier as the week progressed, and this year is no exception. There's something magical about speaking one-on-one with a deviant, learning their experiences, hearing how they started as an artist, and how far they've come.

Celebrate deviantART's 13th Birthday!Celebrate deviantART's 13th Birthday!2 years ago in DeviantArt Announcements More Like This
On the day of your birth, you were likely surrounded by those who loved you, who would lead you through the rough first scary years of life, and who would stand by as you grew into a capable person. As time passed, others may have drifted into your life, and even if you didn't know it, they also nurtured and cared for you in much the same way, helping to shape the person you would become.
When a community like deviantART is born, the same common thread binds its originators and founding members together. Over the years, more and more creative beings drift into its life and strengthen its core every single day, resulting in an exponentially inspirational powerhouse for the sheer fact that they've become a part of it. That nurturing spirit, that inherent support system, that caring community inspires deviantART to grow, and it comes from inside each and every one of you.

How correctly install GDIPPHi, i receive a lot of messages by people who want install GDIPP( cause GDI++ is crappy!!), so here is the good way:How correctly install GDIPP4 years ago in Personal More Like This
➊ Install GDIPP 0.7.6 in Registry( not in services, you will see it during the installation) , download: http://code.google.com/p/gdipp/downloads/list
➋ Copy the 2dll's in "C:\Program Files\gdipp" to "C:\Windows\system32"( for 64 users: 4 dll's: "sytem32"( for 64 bit dll's)+"syswow64"( for 32 bit dll's) ), like: http://img11.hostingpics.net/pics/423903436372Capture.png
➌ Restart( done)
Edit ( 12 oct 2012):
Now, i use 0.9.1 version, it works better and no replacement of dll needed ( only install it and go..!), if you use Firefox or other: uncheck "material acceleration..." in Firefox ( or other) options!!
If some characters look a little craps in some applications: make an exeption in "C:\Program Files (x86)\gdipp\gdipp_setting.xml" with your notepad.

Sunday, Day 4 of Comic-ConNo matter how tired your feet are by what is actually Day 5 of Comic-Con, counting Preview Night, no matter how exhausted your body and empty your wallet, there's always a bit of sadness in the air when the last few hours of Comic-Con wind down.Sunday, Day 4 of Comic-Con2 years ago in DeviantArt Announcements More Like This
In the deviantART booth, we witnessed something a little magical when the voice came over the loudspeaker to announce that Comic-Con was closed at 5:00 pm sharp, the remaining straggling attendees and exhibitors packing up stopped what they were doing and burst into applause. It was a mixture of relief, pride, and fulfillment of a successful convention.
Someone yelled, "See you in 365 days!" and there was a true moment of community with everyone in earshot. Sure, it's a sad sentiment, but it gives us all something to look forward to, and the months ahead will be filled with the happy memories of all we accomplished over the past week.

4 > If you need large typography, increase the DPI in control panel, dont write a new OS that forces it on people.
So thats about it. Ends up I was wrong about a few things, but, you know, To Err Is Human....

Program Results (Qualitative): The following data was collected through anonymous surveys that were conducted: • 67% of teachers & administrators said they saw a change in the behavior of the children. • 100% of teachers & administrators said the LNFI program has had a significant impact at their school. • 100% of teachers & administrators said they would recommend other schools begin an LNFI program. • 73% of parents said LNFI has positively impacted their child's behavior. • 91% of parents said LNFI has positively impacted their child's reading level. • 91% of parents said they believe their child's attendance in LNFI has helped decrease altercations and other problems during the after school hours. • 94% of students said they have felt loved by the people at LNFI.

I recently saw a video of the orphanage Love Never Fails International sponsors in Reynosa, Mexico. It filled my heart with joy to see the children in classrooms, singing songs, and learning the alphabet. These beautiful children, who were once at the mercy of poverty, the Mexican sex trade, and drug cartels, are now safe. They are receiving three meals a day, medical care, and the education that will rescue them someday. LNFI also has an after school program in Fort Worth Texas that provides mentoring to at risk children. What an organization.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Through the church and donations.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I would try to spread the after school programs into more schools. Currently, they are only in three school districts.

Weatherman Fred Talbot charged with sex offences by Manchester police
Fred Talbot faces 9 charges of incident assault and one serious sexual assault
Welcome to the new Independent website. We hope you enjoy it and we value your feedback. Please contact us here.
Fred Talbot faces 9 charges of incident assault and one serious sexual assault
And teaching it shouldn't just be a Conservative project
Personally, I'd say that the biggest obstacle to my working in the adult entertainment industry would be telling my mum, "I'm, er, giving up journalism, to go into ...." No, I just couldn't do it.
The rise of mobile phone and digital technology means traditional school lessons in the English language are effectively pointless, a leading academic has claimed.
Middle-class problems: Apostrophes
June's quarterly update to the Oxford English Dictionary includes a raft of technology-inspired words
Ten years ago, Lynne Truss published Eats, Shoots and Leaves: the Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. It was doctrinaire about commas, semi-colons, dashes and other diacritical marks, and it seemed to signal the end of the line for the Grocer's Apostrophe – you know the kind of thing: "Apple's and Pear's 75p a pound!", "King Edwards Potatoe's £1.99 a kilo".
The root of David Walliams' 'But I'm a Lady' sketch has been revealed as the moment he stood on stage aged 11 dressed up as Queen and "made people laugh for the first time".
If you send a text that is grammatically correct, it shows that you have taken care over your message - you have treated the recipient with due respect
Keep a hand to your eraser - grammar wars are brewing. The new curriculum set out by Education Secretary Michael Gove was criticised in March by academics who called it an "endless list of spellings, facts, and rules"; in the last few days, more angst has flared up - particularly over the issue of spelling and grammar or 'Spag' tests.
You've probably seen the Charles Ramsey video by now (if not, hey, it's right above). In the 3 minute clip, the neighbour of Ariel Castro, the man today charged with kidnapping and raping three women, describes how he heard one of the victims shout from next door and went over to help. It's become a viral hit - with almost ten million views on combined YouTube sources - but what's the root of its success?
Detectives investigating reports of historic sexual abuse by a former teacher have widened their investigation to take in at least two other schools.
TV weatherman Fred Talbot was arrested today by police investigating historic sex abuse allegations at a school.
Our peerless pedant reviews this week's Independent
As the newspaper industry works out how to tackle the threat from free online news and other structural problems, some journalists can at least take heart that, no matter, what the medium – newsprint, the web, or electronic paper – a good copy editor is an essential role. As it is in publishing and advertising/copy-writing, too. When the robots are making our coffee and vacuuming our floors, at least they won't be criticising us for our use of cliches... Oh. Hang on a minute...
Michael Gove has announced that trainee teachers are to face tougher tests, after branding current exams too easy.
Political parties urged to fund scheme that would select on academic merit, not ability to pay

About Voltaren(R) Gel
Voltaren(R) Gel provides 1% diclofenac sodium in a topical gel formulation. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medication indicated for the relief of the pain of osteoarthritis of joints amenable to topical treatment, such as the knees and those of the hands; the product has not been evaluated for use on the spine, hip or shoulder. Voltaren(R) Gel delivers effective pain relief with a favorable safety profile. The amount of diclofenac sodium that is systemically absorbed from Voltaren(R) Gel is on average 6% of the systemic exposure from a comparable dose of an oral form of diclofenac sodium (four grams four times a day to one knee versus 50 milligrams three times a day orally). Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. has a licensing agreement with Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. and Novartis AG, granting Endo the exclusive U.S. marketing rights for Voltaren(R) Gel for the term of the agreement.
Important Safety Information
The most common adverse reactions reported in Voltaren(R) Gel clinical trials were application site reactions in 7% of treated patients. With all NSAIDs there may be an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. NSAIDs cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. The use of Voltaren(R) Gel is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to diclofenac. Voltaren(R) Gel should not be administered to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylactic-like reactions to NSAIDs have bee

|MONCHHICHI THEME SONG | COLORING PAGES | EPISODE GUIDE | 1980s TV COMMERCIAL
|The Monchhichis Lyrics
[sung in an accented male voice]
Way up in the trees live the Monchhichis
They love to laugh and play
But the Grumplins very mean to the Monchhichis
Chi chi chi
|"Monchhichi Monchhichi, oh so soft and cuddly!" If you grew up during the 1980s, you may have heard this advertising jingle more than a few times. Of course, the dolls are what Monchhichis are all about - and they're definitely cute, soft, cuddly - and Japanese! Well where did you think they got that crazy name?
First off, what are these little guys? Monchhichis are fuzzy, adorable monkey-ish buddies who live atop the trees, above the clouds in the forest land of Monchia. The Monchhichi leader is a wizard named Wizzar who is enjoined in a magical battle with the Monchhichis enemy, the Grumplins of Grumplor.
The Monchhichis began life on January 25, 1974 by Koichi Sekiguchi at the Sekiguchi Corporation in Japan. The Japanese word for Monchhichis is モンチッチ. They were known in Japan as Futago no Monchihichi, which translates to Monchhichi Twins. Mr. Sekiguchi says the dolls were created to inspire "respect and love" among both the old and young. This is kind of like an American saying he released a product because he wanted "to just make people happy". It's kind of a pat line but who can argue with the charms of a cute fuzzy doll? The dolls branched out to the world of television and the Japanese version of the Monchhichis show ran until 1980.
After conquering Japan, the small but ambitious Monchhichis began their plan for world domination. In 1975 the dolls expanded into West Germany, Australia and finally all of Western Europe!
In 1979, Monchhichis reached the United States and began to sell well. Mattel purchased a license and teamed up with Hanna-Barbera as co-producers to make a new TV series. When Hanna Barbera turned the dolls into an animated TV show, they shortened the name to Monchihichi. The show debuted September 10, 1983 on ABC. The program was not highly rated but it definitely increased demand for one thing in particular - Monchihichi Dolls! This makes sense, as toymaker Mattel was co-producer of the TV show, and the show itself was actually modeled on the toy line. The animated show ran for one year in 1983.
What are the Monchhichis up to? Well, the Japanese version is still going strong, and there is an official English language version of the Monchhichi website. In the United States, as of June 2008, you can still see the Monchhichis at the Disney's Epcot Center World Showcase Japan section. You can even buy Monchhichis at Epcot! Around the world, the Monchhichis TV Show is broadcast on Boomerang and Cartoon Network.
Monchhichi Trivia: Monchhichis were known as Kiki in France, Chicaboo in the United Kingdom and Mon Cicci in Italy.

Arrived in Bocas del Toro to lovely sunny weather.

We settled into our stunning cabin on the water but not for long as we booked to go on a boat trip with two American girls who …

... a mix of local workers, students, backpackers and tourists. A couple Chillean sisters (recent university grads) helped us navigate the bus fares and schedules, and we chatted with them on and off throughout the day. From the small centro of Drago, we hiked around the island shore, mostly sticking to the beach or wading in the warm bay water and crossing mangrove creeks. On the way back, the policia stopped the bus for awhile. ...

Fortunately, only moments before I ended it all by throwing myself overboard to be brutally mangled by these silver demons of the deep, we started toward Cayo Zapatilla. I had high expectations for the island and it DID NOT disappoint. The water had the thousand shades of blue typical of every Caribbean getaway brochure and gorgeous jungle to boot. It wasn't packed and we were able to walk around the entire island. Our guide brought ...

The Missing of the Somme
Orion Publishing Group, Limited, 2009 - Somme, 1st Battle of the, France, 1916 - 157 pages
'Head bowed, rifle on his back, a soldier is silhouetted against the going down of the sun, looking at the grave of a dead comrade, remembering him. A photograph from the war, is also a photograph of the way the war will be remembered. It is a photograph of the future, of the future's view of the past. We will remember them'Relying more on personal impressions than systematic analysis, Geoff Dyer weaves a network of myth and memory that illuminates our own relation to the past.
