Entertainment Arts People http://cecilie.blogdrive.com/archive/402.html Sat, 08 Sep 2007 11:02:17 GMT Hey you all.. sorry to let go of this blog. I've noticed that I don't have time to blog here anymore. The entries I used to do about different interesting subjects takes to much time and energy to write. That's why I've decided to end it.. and earlier in this week I started a new blog on blogspot (The thoughts of a ruminator...The difference are that I'm writing in Swedish, takes less of my time and the new blog is also going to have entries more related to my work... of course I'll be writing some personal things too... There will be no blogging during the weekends either. The weekends are...

Well, last Saturday I met Malin and Ida for a few hours. It was nice, but short. I'm feeling so tired, which probably is not so strange.. I've been working for almost two weeks at my new job now. I'm still getting to know the people there and learning everyones name. The actual work I do is not very complicated or difficult in anyway and I think I got it pretty well by now. This weekend we have kick-off with the firm and all of us are going to Hook's herrgård to first have a work conference and...

I haven't been satisfied with the one I had and now finally, I've got something else.. starting on Monday. It all happened so fast, I went on an interview Tuesday and then they called back on Wednesday wanting me to start already yesterday. I said of course yes to the new job, but had to wait and start til Monday. It will be exciting to start next week and get to know new people.. I will also get my own desk with computer and everything, but share office room with another co-worker.. which I don't mind at all. My last workplace I didn't have anything...

The finding, which was published in the journal Science, could have major implications for solving the riddles of cancer. By understanding how a healthy cell works it is also easier to understand what has gone wrong in a cancer cell. The new results focus on DNA, which is replicated every time a cell divides. Up until the splitting process itself, the two bits of DNA are bound together by a protein called cohesin. If the cohesin does not work properly then the two new cells can inherit the wrong number of...

The move is the first time that a licence to export radioactive waste has been issued in Sweden for twenty years. The 4.8 tonnes of waste is to be taken to the Sellafield plant in northern England in August. The waste comes from Sweden's first research reactor, R1, at the Royal Institute of Technology. The reactor was used from 1954 to 1970, as part of a programme to create a Swedish nuclear bomb. Greenpeace is protesting at the move, saying that the Sellafield...

Experts had warned last winter that this year's algal blooms could reach record levels, after record-low levels of oxygen were measured in the water. But the algae has so far not been as widespread as first feared. At this time last year, algae was blooming much more fiercely. According to the latest report from the Information Office for the Baltic Proper, no major algae outbreaks have been discovered, with only...

The number of 'guest nights' spent in the country in 2006 increased by 9 percent compared to the year before. While the most frequent visitors are from neighbouring countries, new budget airline routes mean that more and more Russian and Chinese tourists are coming. Managing director of Visit Sweden, pointed to his own organisation's efforts as a key reason for the rise. 'The foreign tourists we're targeting with our marketing of...

The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits. Mr Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just started working part time as a dishwasher at a local restaurant. Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren's salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work. Tullgren have been trying for ten years to get his...

The livelihoods of more than three billion people in the world are being undermined by the wealth of the privileged few, the institute's executive director warned. 'The risk is that we might halve ... food production in sub-Saharan Africa because of our lifestyles,' he said on the sidelines of an international conference on climate change and sustainable development, held in the Swedish town of...

Burden sharing versus free-runner effect, negotiating platforms, living to learn versus learning to live... to many these catch phrases may be nothing more than mumbo jumbo but to participants at this year's Tällberg Forum they offered new ways of looking at the global warming conundrum. The annual conference is held in the resort village of Tällberg, located 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of the... (more) http://cecilie.blogdrive.com/comments?id=393
