If you have a large space to illuminate and want to do it in a stylish manner, one couldn't do better than the "Giant" lamp from Le Klint of Denmark.

Nicolas Sarkozy, President of France, managed to erase "free and undistorted competition" from the proposed new EU Treaty as a main aim of the European Union. Afterwards, he asked rhetorically what competition has done for Europe. This article is an attempt to reply to that very important question. The view of competition and its effects among decision-makers is likely to affect numerous policy outcomes. Throughout history, there has been a struggle between freedom and control in Europe. Competition is the result of economic freedom and the absence of interventions in the economy by the state. And it has done very much indeed for Europe. It may be the single most important reason why the average income in Western Europe is 14 times higher today than in 1820. If anything, Europe needs mo...

Documentary films have in recent years achieved unprecedented glory and success in the United States. Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 9/11" not only was named best picture at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, but also made big bucks at the box office. "Bowling for Columbine" attracted a large audience to theatres nationwide, and crystallized a lively debate about violence in schools. Similarly, the documentary "Super Size Me" was yet another U.S. documentary that became a global hit: That orgy of on-screen gluttony even gave the world's largest fast-food chain, McDonalds, a severe case of PR-indigestion.
In neighbouring Denmark, [Karolina Lidin] observes, new documentaries tend to have an intellectual and poetic edge. This is probably due partly to the influence of demon director Lars von Trie...

Founded in March 2004 by Erik Wachtmeister, 50, the son of a Swedish ambassador to the United States, this exclusive assembly aims to become the world's "leading global social-networking community." In order to join, one has to be invited. But in order to be invited, at least five existing members have to recommend you. But belonging to this ritzy fraternity has its advantages. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of the company, a party was staged in St. Tropez attended by Paris and Nicky Hiltion, Ivan Trump and Sarah Marshall. A Small World isn't for social climbers or celebrity wannabes (although one imagines some among the 75,000-plus members must have snuck in through a back door. "This is an Internet community," says Wachtmeister, "designed for those who already have strong conne...

This article describes general budget support as an instrument of development cooperation. Based on poverty reduction strategies, poorer developing countries are increasingly receiving general budget support which enables their governments to carry out their core responsibilities more effectively. Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and risks are discussed in a holistic approach. In view of aid effectiveness and efficiency, the author draws on an evaluation which was carried out in the context of the DAC/OECD in 2006, as well as on experience made in Switzerland's budget support engagement. He argues that the budget support methodology could also inspire the cooperation with non-governmental organisations.
