Celtish Cross-Andrew Holmes-thWhen the Irish Catholic priest Fr. Hugh O'Donnell decided it was time to build a Catholic church in Belfast he had a problem: it costs a lot of money to build a church. The Catholic population of Belfast was too small and too poor to provide enough money, so if he had to rely on the Catholics alone it would take forever. He had to seek help elsewhere. So he asked the Protestants of Belfast to help him out. As you do.

 
 ESPAÑOL

Se le atribuye a Solón, compilador de la primera Constitución ateniense, una expresión que venía a decir algo así: "la ley es como una tela de araña: el rico la aparta de un manotazo, mientras el pobre queda atrapado en ella".


 OTHER LANGUAGES
By Dan Cooper och Niklas Albin Svensson

Detta var dock före de dramatiska händelser i somras då Anders Breivik, en fascist och högerextremist, mördade 69 ungdomar på det norska arbetarpartiets ungdomsförbunds sommarläger. Redan i september publicerades en artikel i "Bloomberg" som påpekade att kapitalismens fördjupade globala kris håller börjar märkas även i de länder som tidigare tycktes ha undvikit den, däribland Norge.
