Norwegian Mass-Murderer Could Serve Time in “World’s Most Humane Prison”

Norwegian Mass-Murderer Could Serve Time in “World’s Most Humane Prison”

Multiple news outlets have reported on the possibility that Norwegian mass-murderer Anders Breivik could serve a prison sentence in what TIME has called the “world’s most humane prison.”

Breivik is a right-wing extremist and terrorist who committed the 2011 Norway attacks. The first attack was a car bomb explosion that occurred in Oslo, outside of the office of the Prime Minister and other government buildings. Less than two hours after the bombing in Oslo, he opened fire on teenagers and children who were in attendance at a youth camp organized by the youth organization of the Norwegian Labour Party. He is responsible for the deaths of 76 people, most of whom were youth.

Breivik will stand trial for his crimes on Friday, but his unknown fate has not stopped people from speculating about where he …

How Do You Describe Dinner in One Word?

How Do You Describe Dinner in One Word?

Dinnertime brings on a unique set of challenges for every family. We have all heard tips on how dinnertime should be, but we all have a different routine and pace for how dinner is served in our households.

Ragu recently asked moms to describe what dinner is like in their house using only one word. So far, there has been a lot of response and the one word that has come up the most by far has been “chaos”. However, when it comes to dinner in my house, the one word that immediately pops into my head is togetherness.

My partner and I both work from home, so you would think that we are together so much that we’re completely sick of each other by the end of the day. You would be …

Get a Spotify Free Account Using Your Klout

Get a Spotify Free Account Using Your Klout

Spotify, an award-winning music service that was founded in Sweden in 2008 and has since built up an audience of over 10 million listeners. The service allows users to play millions of tracks instantly on their computers and phones and after three years of getting more and more popular, they opened up memberships in the U.S. late last week. Going the same route Google did with their Gmail web-based email service and the recently-released Google+ social networking service, U.S. accounts for Spotify are invite-only.

By making a service only available to those who can score an invite from a friend, that brand is creating immense buzz for their service. I have seen countless people taking to their Twitter and Facebook accounts in hopes of someone with a Spotify account seeing their request and sharing the love. While it …
