POPSGreek Bibliography of the 19th century "The retrospective Greek national bibliography of the 19th century is a collective work, as is every ambitious bibliography project, based on the long preparatory work undertaken by distinguished scholars and obscure bibliographers. Its foundations were lain by the three-volume Greek Bibliography 1800-1863, by Dimitrios Ghinis and Valerios Mexas (Athens, Academy of Athens, 1939-1957), in combination with successive series of addenda over the same period, which were introduced by C. Th. Dimaras from the pages of the journal Eranistis (a periodical publication of the Society for the Study of the Greek Enlightenment). The work was later taken up mainly by the Tetradia Ergasias of the Institute for Neohellenic Research of the National Hellenic Research Foundation."

POPSStudy blows whistle on ref's fitness. The referee must keep up with the fastest player, for the whole match. The players take turns to score points, and spread the load between the team. The referee not only has to keep up, but never take their eye off the ball. Not only that, if a team loses, they can get the blame. If you can't play become a referee? More like the other way around.

POPSFORTRESS EUROPE- no more Iraqi Refugees Stockholm, where 18,600 applications for asylum were submitted in 2007 alone, is gradually closing its doors now that Sweden's highest court has ruled that there is no longer an armed conflict in Iraq. Asylum-seekers must now provide detailed proof of persecution, a practically impossible task for many Iraqis. Despite the millions in assistance it receives from Brussels, Athens feels overburdened by the system. After personally inspecting the country's facilities for refugees, European Parliament MEP Kreissl-Dörfler alleged that the Greeks shove thousands of asylum-seekers "into inhumane deportation camps that one can only enter in rubber boots."
