The new sport center at Science City, ETH Hönggerberg. The fancy building stood two years before it got completely flooded during the rains in July. Now it has to be dried out for a cost of 2 million Swiss francs and will only open again in October.

In the elections in Sweden the left made the most disastrous election ever whereas the right Alliansen made made a big move forward. No wonder when the left goes so far into people meddling in peoples private lives and removing their rights to their own choices as to encouraging the Swedish women to use a breast pump in order to give the maternity leave to the fathers. It is difficult to compare the Swedish left and right with the blocks in other countries as the Swedish right still is pretty left of the right in other countries. The biggest chock in the election was that the extreme right party made it into the parliament making neither of the blocks being capable of forming a majority.

In Switzerland two new members of the Federal Council was elected today, one of which was a woman. This is the first time ever that there is a majority of women in the government. Not that it really matters as the Swiss government is known to have almost zero power but one can only hope that it will be a trendsetter for different areas.
