'A Most Wanted Man' - The Official Movie Trailer [HD]

A Chechen Muslim illegally immigrates to Hamburg, where he gets caught in the international war on terror...

Storyline

"When a half-Chechen, half-Russian, brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Islamic community, laying claim to his father's ill gotten fortune, both German and US security agencies take a close interest: as the clock ticks down and the stakes rise, the race is on to establish this most wanted man's true identity - oppressed victim or destruction-bent extremist? Based on John le Carré's novel, A MOST WANTED MAN is a contemporary, cerebral tale of intrigue, love, rivalry, and politics that prickles with tension right through to its last heart-stopping scene"

Game of Clients - "If Life With Clients Were Like Game of Thrones…" [Infographic]

As a (recently converted) Game of Thrones fan, I thought I was in heavens when I found that brilliant infographic made by Infographic World. (I can be a cool Dad once again in my son's eyes... Results! )

"With this awesome Game of Thrones season at an end, we decided to create a playful infographic in a similar theme called Game of Clients. Every design agency on the planet can likely relate to at least one of these."

On the planet only?! I think it's pretty safe to say every design agency in the universe can relate to at least one of these... 

Anyway... Enjoy!

Doctor Who Quiz: How Well Do You Know The Tenth Doctor?

"Ten questions on Doctor number ten - oh yes!"

Perhaps, "How much do you remember about David Tennant's Tenth Doctor?" could have been a more appropriate title for that quiz as we're now pretty close to see the Twelfth Doctor in action, but it's still rather cool as a little trip down the Whovian memory lane... Oh, and, as a bonus, we learn (Unless you already knew it, obviously) the name David Tennant was born with.

Does Technology Affect Sleep? [Infographic]

If you are (or know) someone like me who spends quite a lot of time online, you'll probably answer yes to that question as, unfortunately, there are only 24 hours in a day and, to be able to do "what needs to be done on the net", a rather big slice of our needed sleeping time usually does tend to get sacrificed in the process.

But, through today's infographic, we have the opportunity to explore the relationship between modern technology and sleep disturbances and find out out that our sleep is not just affected by our online habits... Television, video games and mobile phones can be as much guilty as our trusty PC or laptop. Oooh Yes, they are!

On the plus side, this infographic also shows us what we can do to achieve a better night’s sleep. So, don't panic! There is no need to throw our beloved game console/TV set/PC/laptop/mobile phone/etc... out of the window yet

Enjoy!

Let's Tell Tesco To Sell Seafood, NOT Slavefood!

We call on Tesco to immediately cease purchasing of seafood from Thailand until they can conclusively and transparently demonstrate that their supply chains are free from slavery. 
Following a number of recent reports into slavery in the Thai seafood industry, including a recent Guardian exposé and investigations from the Environmental Justice Foundation, it has become clear the seafood sourced from Thailand is highly likely to be tainted with slavery. 
As consumers, we want to know that the seafood we buy has not been produced by slaves.

Rape... It's Never Right!

"Two young girls were hanged from a tree after being gang raped in India. Shockingly a minister just responded by saying, "rape...sometimes it's right." The Prime Minister must take action and we can force him by delivering a millions-strong call for an end to the rape epidemic into the city where he holds his seat."

The following is an email from Alaphia and Avaaz.org, regarding what's happening to women in India... 

We decided to share it with you guys, because we believe that rape is never right and that something has to be done about the current rape epidemic in India. 

Have a read, and, sign the petition.

Thanks in advance

The 'Holy Sh*t!' Response To Climate Change

"A NASA scientist says we've hit the "holy shit" climate moment when irreversible damage to our planet is about to spin out of control. It needs a "holy shit" response. On the weekend of September 20th we can meet world leaders with the largest global climate day of action ever that puts the power back in our hands." 

UKIP And The Queen Photoshop - Has UKIP Gone Too Far This Time?

Someone in UKIP must have had their dates mixed up and thought that it was April Fool's Day already... Either that or they don't actually have a clue about how things work when it comes to British politics and the Monarchy...

UKIP has somehow crossed the line there. We all know that the Queen would not endorse any political party (and that she does not vote!)... So, photoshopping her in order to give the impression that she is a UKIP supporter has to be a major royal no no.

Obviously I cannot speak (and I would not dare doing so anyway) on behalf of the Queen, but I don't think that she'll be amused when she sees that.

If you want to make your own mind up about the whole affair, the pic should still be available for viewing on here, but, just in case it got "accidentally" deleted, I've also posted a screencap of it below...
