Techno Church in Stockholm, Sweden

Vicar in Sweden has figured out how to attract young Christians to religious services - by making them into a party.
Ole Idestrom from All Saints Church in Stockholm has asked local producers to come up with special techno track that plays in between worship.
Vicar's reading quotes from the Bible and singing of traditional hymns is replaced with these techno songs, and his church became a hit in Stockholm.
"Rarely you can see young Christians who literally dancing in the seats in the church, but it's important to come into God's house," "techno-priest" said modestly.

Teachers can not wear thongs to school

In some schools, teachers in Macedonia received a prohibition on work wear jeans, shorts, see-through clothes, shirts and blouses with a deep neckline, t-shirts with the tregere bare back, and thongs underwear.

I wonder how they will be checked...? ;)

What clothes should be worn in schools is decided by the presidents of some municipalities. A ban was due to improper and indecent clothes educational workers. In some schools, educators are prohibited from carrying plastic bags, and snack, handy tools and notebooks must carry in their bags.

Teachers are not penalized, but have been criticized by the head. They have given them advice that for the job does not dress like the disco.
Before this prohibition some teachers were coming to class dressed as a schoolgirl, and then they had to order working coats in some schools.

Wikipedia blackout

The Wikipedia founder announced on Twitter today that starting at midnight on Wednesday, January 18, the English language version of the world’s encyclopedia will go dark for 24 hours in protest of SOPA and PIPA. With their commitment confirmed, Wikipedia will be joining a slew of websites and companies that will suspend their operations for one day in an effort raise awareness around the two bills.

Wikipedia will go offline in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), a bill that would allow the U.S. government to cut off funding sources to foreign websites accused of piracy by rights holders. PIPA, the Protect IP Act in the Senate, and SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, have been presented as a way to protect movie studios, record labels and others. Supporters range from the Country Music Association to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Websites found to offer pirated content, along with the services that they use, could be hidden from US internet users by being delisted on search engines and potentially on DNS servers themselves.

The Internet giants say the bills could require your Internet provider to block websites that are involved in digital file sharing. And search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing could be stopped from linking to them -- antithetical, they say, to the ideal of an open Internet.

The whole explanation you can find on Wikipedia, or just click here.

England’s version of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’

2011-02-20T02:06:00.000-08:00

Kayakers snap photo of England’s version of the ‘Loch Ness Monster’...
Nothing puts a damper on a serene afternoon's kayaking like the sight of a primeval sea monster.

That was the rude lesson for Tom Pickles and Sarah Harrington, who'd taken their watercraft out on the foggy waters of Lake Windermere, only to encounter what appeared to be "an enormous snake" swimming by.

"It was petrifying and we paddled back to the shore straight away. At first I thought it was a dog and then saw it was much bigger and moving really quickly at about 10 mph," the 24-year-old Pickles told The Telegraph. "Each hump was moving in a rippling motion and it was swimming fast. Its skin was like a seal's but its shape was completely abnormal—it's not like any animal I've ever seen before."

But what did Pickles and Harrington expect? Didn't they know that Lake Windermere is reputedly the home of the British version of the Loch Ness monster? In the past five years, sojourners on the lake have reported eight sightings of a Nessie-like serpent.

But the kayaking couple rallied from their shock and snapped the clearest photo of the Windermere "monster" since the sightings began. A journalism professor and his wife inaugurated the recent spate of Nessie-esque encounters on the lake back in 2006 reporting they had seen a "giant eel" somewhere between 15-20 feet long.

Ever since then, researchers have set out upon the lake with sonar equipment, in pursuit of "Bow-Nessie," as the creature's British compatriots like to call it. But so far, their efforts haven't borne fruit.

Of course, people in Scotland have reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster since 1933, and even with dramatic advance sonar and video technology, Loch Ness research teams have likewise been unable to turn up any credible scientific evidence of its existence. Even its most noted hunter, Robert Rines, recently gave up his quest to find the beast after trying for nearly 40 years. "Unfortunately, I'm running out of age," the 85 year-old Rines said last year when he announced he was calling it quits.

Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Winfield, a lake ecologist at the University of Lancaster, told The Sun he thinks the mysterious appartition people are seeing in Lake Windermere is merely a really big catfish. But all of this speculation overlooks the central mystery in the latest sighting: Why on earth would a couple go kayaking on an English lake in the middle of February?
