| JOB: English-speaking Sales Execs - Stockholm
Currently I am living in the Midlands UK and hoping to move to Stockholm to be with my girlfriend as soon as I find a job and get my head around how I get all my stuff there. Among other things. I am sure I will have many questions but for now I will browse through some previous posts to get a feel for the forums. .

Talk of the Town: Happy birthday, Oscar!
So, Oscar will celebrate his 80th birthday this Sunday and some of the writers will actually be attending his party since the Writers Guild of America strike has ended and the dust is starting to settle in Tinseltown.With any luck, your favorite movie will walk away with the golden prize, but as in the past, some of the best pictures never receive Best Picture Oscars. A prime example would be "Citizen Kane."Though it was nominated in nine categories in 1941, "Citizen Kane" won only Best Original Screenplay for Orson Welles and Herman J.Mankiewicz.According to the folks at filmschoolrejects.com, it was rumored that whenever the film's name was mentioned, guffaws were heard around the room because the powerful newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst, on whose life the film was alleged to be based, threatened voters with the old adage, "You'll never work in this town again." An interesting note: Kane's editor was future Oscar-winning director Robert Wise.
Candidates press cases for Round 2
And, I think the best first place to start is with the politicians that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bills for the kids. Passed by congress twice. But what about the President. It was Bush after all that blocked the bipartisan SCHIP bill passed by congress to assure more health coverage for Americas kids. So which of the presidential hopefuls do I think will be most supportive of implementing the demand of the majority of the American people to have HR 676 (Medicare For All) passed into law immediately! We have some very fine presidential candidates who would make good presidents. But none of the top Presidential candidates directly support HR 676, the only true Universal Health Care plan. So I am supporting Hillary Clinton. She is the only top candidate that has ever actually fought for universal health care before.
Earthquake Awareness Week
Talk with your insurance agent about the risks in your area according to the location of fault zones under your property. You need to have a emergency kit with food, water, blankets and a battery-powered radio. Pick safe places in your home where take cover under a sturdy desk or table away from windows and furniture that could fall on you. These rules have been developed in the more active seismic areas found in the western United States, and are just as relevant for earthquakes in other parts of the country: Learn to DROP, COVER, and HOLD ON! Practice the drill at least twice a year with your family of finding something study to crawl under and grab one leg of a table or desk to hang on. Pick a safe place in every room of your home. Wait in your safe place until the shaking has stopped, then check to see if you are hurt.
Geek Notes: New Toys
The Sony Mylo Personal Communicator (top) COM-2, or Mylo 2, is a device situated firmly in the netherworld between laptops and cellphones. Aperture, Apple's photo management and editing software (bottom), was originally intended as a professional alternative to iPhoto. Aperture 2.0, a major revision of the program, offers things for both the amateurs and the pros. (The New York Times) .
