Israeli foreign minister reported to the police by danish politician Frank Aaen

Danish party Enhedslisten's, foreign politics spokesperson Frank Aaen, today reported the israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni to the "state lawyer of special international criminal cases."
The minister is guesting Denmark, today and tomorrow and Frank Aaen hopes that the police will take affair.
Frank Aaen says:

- I think the minister should be held back, while it is investigated wether a charge can be made for co-responsibility in warcrimes.

- Amnesty International has determined that Israel has comitted serious warcrimes in the attack on Libanon and has encouraged for the responsible to be prosecuted.
It should be investigated if the israeli minister as a member of the government is co-responsible for the israeli warcrimes.

- The israeli attack on civil living areas and infrastructure, the use of mortar grenades and the israeli blockade, that stopped emergency help to the area are clear violations of the laws of war. As a fellow member of the Geneve-convention Denmark is obliged to procecute warcriminals if they are in Denmark.

BREAKING NEWS: Company claims to have invented a technology wich creates free energy

Steorn recently put an article in the Economist claiming to have invented free energy, this means energy without consuming anything, redefining our very way of understanding the universe. Until now there was no doubt that the principle stating "energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form." was true. Steorn however comes with the following claims:
1. The technology has a coefficient of performance greater than 100%.
2. The operation of the technology (i.e. the creation of energy) is not derived from the degradation of its component parts.
3. There is no identifiable environmental source of the energy (as might be witnessed by a cooling of ambient air temperature). which very clearly would prove the previous principle wrong. Now they know that people will not believe until multiply third party scientists have proved them right; therefore Steorn decided to seek validation from the scientific community in a more public forum, and as a result have published the challenge in The Economist. The company is seeking a jury of twelve qualified experimental physicists to define the tests required, the test centres to be used, monitor the analysis and then publish the results.
If this comes out to be true the world economy would suffer big time; as there's a lot of money in the energy business.
But let's not panic till it's proven right, after all they probably just missed something..

Personally i think that it's up to their parent to decide what content their kids can handle to watch/participate in because all kids are different and can handle different amounts of violence..

Beautiful subways from around the world

Many operators of metros, subways or underground railways want to attract more passengers with good station design. This often means extra effort and higher costs for the metro operators but it seems to pay when a metro is more than just a means of transport but something the residents can be proud of. I wish they had realised that in copenhagen where i live; we have the ugliest subway ever..
