Berlin is Everywhere

If you think crimes against homosexual teenagers are something that happens elsewhere, reconsider. In a case like this one, Berlin is everywhere. The story of Nasser makes horrible reading and should encourage people everywhere to keep their eyes open to abuse against children going on all around them, straight and gay. But because he is gay, Nasser was tortured and kidnapped as a child - by his own family. Nasser's story is doesn't unfold in a distant land like the Lebanon but in the middle of Europe - in Berlin.

Splash!: It Worked for Dan Osborne

We all know the forgotten VIPs and the ones that would like to be VIPs taking part in reality TV shows. It doesn't really matter if it is the Big Brother house or the jungle, dance floor, ice field or the pool. None of the former contestants can claim that it worked for them to ignite or reignite a flagging career. But then Dan Osborne showed that it can be done. Dice were rigged in his favor, though.

Don't Risk Your Privacy When Surfing in Public

Don’t you just love the possibility to access the internet just about anywhere by WiFi? Isn't it practical to keep connected with all aspects of your daily live while on the move or in the city? What people are often unaware of, though, is the very real threat to their privacy as they do just this.

Louis Tomlinson Tickets for February 26 Only £7

How can you get so near to a One Direction boy band member any cheaper? Louis Tomlinson is set to give his debut performance in the boy band of the Doncaster Rovers, better known as a football (soccer) team. The show, sorry match, will be held on 26 February 2014 at the Keepmoat Stadium at 7 pm. Unlike Justin Bieber, the men will be on time for their grand entrance, too. I also found some exclusive training footage showing Louis Tomlinson in action.

Google Goes Gay on Sochi

Google has joined the many activists around the world in protesting the anti-LGBT laws introduced in Russia in time for the opening ceremony of the 22nd Winter Olympic Games. The Google doodle shows athletes of winter sports in a colored array reminiscent of the rainbow flag of the international LGBT movement. To bring the point home, the Olympic Charter is cited below the search box.

What the Pharmaceutical Industry Doesn't Tell You

Knowledge is power. Withholding knowledge is turn-over. This holds true for pharmaceutical companies among others. A study conducted by the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) on pharmaceutical studies showed that most studies never get published.

Swiss Personality of the Year Stanislas Wawrinka

Stanislas Wawrinka started 2014 as if it was still 2013. He was voted Swiss Personality of the Year. Just one week after winning the tournament in Chennai, he was awarded the most prestigious award Switzerland gives away. Just having been nominated was an unexpected honor.

Christmas Steve Party

Normally, Santa Claus would send in his family photos to me for publication. Thanks to the NSA, he doesn't feel that is necessary anymore, as they are all on record in the White House already before they are shot. I had therefore to do some fast talking with the guys in black, and they leaked some photos of the Northpole Inc. office party to me. It was held by special invitation from Christmas Steve.

DusTom, Tomstin, or DaBlack?

Just Jared has published the first photos showing Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black together after Tom Daley's YouTube video bombshell. The pictures were taken when they were leaving the diving center of the University of Houston Texas. Neither of them has confirmed if they are in a relationship, but pictures talk, too.

Data Loss in Winter is Preventable

All of us own electronic devices that contain important information that we would hate to lose. Winter cold can be a factor in crashes happening to those devices. If handled correctly, this need not happen to you. But as electronic devices are getting smaller, we tend to forget about their whereabouts more easily. Keeping track of them is just part of the deal.

Teenage Angst Literature

Teenage boys like to turn to a certain type of literature. It is literature that deals with people outside the norm; this resonates with teenage feelings of not belonging anywhere. The literature is so much part of growing up, it has become a rite of passage. The let down for all teenagers is usually when they find out that their parents have read the exactly same books in their teenage years, too.

Make Your Car Roadworthy For Winter Safety

Winter holidays are fun. Going into the mountains for skiing and fun in the snow is always a thing to look forward to. It is more enjoyable if you manage to arrive in one piece instead of ending up in a ditch. It might also be worth a lot of money as many countries hand out hefty fines if you haven't readied your car for snow and icy conditions on roads and mountain passes.

Tom Daley: Proud Coming Out

Now Tom Daley has decided that we all need to know. He's such a nice boy. And the way he did it was so typical Tom Daley you can't top it. His video message to the world is extremely personal and perfect home movie stuff. I have provided a link in the article.

Your Free Apps Feed Big Brother

Free Apps come to your phone at great personal cost to yourself. Most free apps suck information from your mobile phone, tablet, or laptop without your permission or knowledge. And this includes information you really would prefer to stay with you.

Police Vultures (The Animal Kind)

No, I’m not talking about the human vultures that you will find in any human organization. I’m talking about flying vultures that are under training with German police. It is planned, as should be quite obvious when reading any vulture’s job description, to use them in the search for dead persons in rugged terrain.

Wine For Christmas: Gum Arabic Vintages

You might be considering giving away some good bottles of wine as Christmas presents. Any wine aficionado will be thrilled by such a gift. On the other hand, you might want to reconsider once you know what is really inside a bottle of wine.

Was Eye Candy For Mojo

This post used to be about a play called Mojo by a guy called Jez Butterworth. Due to circumstances out of my control, this no longer is so. The content of this post has changed and to find out more you will need to read it further down. Please accept my apologies, but all shall be revealed.

Richard Wagner's Tristan and Isolde

Richard Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde (variously spelled as Tristan and Isolda, Tristan and Yseult, or Tristan and Ysolt) is the Romeo and Juliet of German opera. The mere mention of the names gives the connotation of unhappy lovers in a secret relationship with an unhappy ending. There are many versions of the story available that almost everyone has at least some idea of what is going on which makes it one of the ‘easier’ works by Richard Wagner to watch and actually know what is happening on stage.

Homosexuality Grounds For Granting Asylum

Homosexuality may be a reason to grant asylum to fugitives coming to the European Union. This was decided by the European Court of Justice. Three men from African countries had filed charges against the Kingdom of the Netherlands for recognition as refugees with the right to apply for asylum. Their home countries are known to punish homosexual acts with heavy prison sentences or even life imprisonment.

Refusing to Grow Up: Justin Bieber

2013 has not been the year for Justin Bieber. From beginning to end, he was intent on living his bratty phase to the fullest, probably something he missed doing at 15. Now, you would expect him to grow up, but he just showed that he is not yet ready to behave like a 19-year-old.

Intersex Children Allowed in Germany

Tradition demands that a child is born as a boy or a girl. Tradition ignores the fact that one in 2,000 children is born with characteristics of both sexes in varying degrees. Germany's government and parliament have listened to these people. It is now to become Europe's first country to allow babies with characteristics of both sexes to be registered as neither male nor female. There are good reasons for doing this, and some consequences that have yet to be sorted out.
