Catching sheep out in the wild is actually incredibly difficult. They run like hell in both flat and more challenging terrain.

I plead ignorance regarding the socio-economic make-up of the Stockholm suburbs, but my point wasn't really about the current state of the suburb, but rather the kinds of problems the suburb might experience if the municipality administration decides to provide the housing for unaccompanied refugee teenagers. There's obviously a long way from providing housing for a limited number of teenage refugee to the situation described in the NRK article I posted, but it's not a good idea for the authorities to ignore people's safety fears.The last thing Nacka is, is a crime-ridden ghetto! (Well, white collar crime, white mans ghetto, maybe) . Upper middle class I'd say.

Skogsutredare fick Almedalen att sätta kaffet i halsen
Charlotta Riberdahl one of the Governments legal eagles has caused a real upset in her wondering aloud about private ownership of Swedish forests. Although it was just an idea mentioned allowed about how important forests are environmentally and is it right for such an important resource to be in private hands, the expected reaction was quick coming from the Timber Industry and Forest Owners associations.She now faces a dressing- down from the Agricultural Minister.
The Swedish State through Sveaskog owns roughly 14% of Sweden's forests (see http://www.sveaskog.se/en/about-sveaskog )/sveaskog-in-brief)

Roald Dahl was born in Wales in 1916 of Norwegian parents. In this the 100th anniversary of his birth, the BBC has been broadcasting a number of programs about him and his writings. I was wondering if you had any comments on this.
He seems to have been a fairly mischievous child.

Dahl (Dale would be the English translation) is a fairly common name in Scandinavia. Norwegians have been moving to the UK for hundreds of years - think Vikings!

Foreign volunteers boost Peshmerga frontline in Kirkuk
More than one hundred foreign volunteers are fighting the Islamic State (ISIS) on the Kirkuk front lines.
Tony, a former lieutenant in the Swedish army, is one of these volunteers who has been in Kurdistan since September last year. He is commander of the Peshmerga volunteers now.
“I wanted to join the Peshmerga because the Kurdish people, back in Sweden recommended (me) to join the Peshmerga,” Tony said.
He told Rudaw that the Kurdish Peshmerga as well as the Kurds are “really brave.”
According to Peshmerga commanders, many foreigners want to join the Peshmerga in the fight against ISIS.

Concern over barrage of fake Russian news in Sweden
Swedes fed up with social media trolls and disinformation about Sweden. (and it's all Putin's fault! or maybe not)

Tine och Scania i nytt projekt
TINE og Scania tester hybrid-lastebil
Dairy giant in Norway, Tine, goes into cooperation with Swedish lorry/truck manufacturer Scania - and appropriately they're using HVO diesel which mostly comes from ... slaughterhouse waste.
(sometimes I'm really glad I've gone vegan)

Turkey orders Swedish envoy over 'scandalous' age of consent tweet | News | DW.COM | 16.08.2016
Swedish Foreign Minister Margot Wallström had tweeted on her official account that the "Turkish decision to allow sex with children under 15 must be reversed", following a controversial ruling by the Turkish constitutional court.
Turkey's constitutional court in July had annulled a criminal code provision punishing all sexual acts involving children under the age of 15 as "sexual abuse", giving a six-month period for parliament to draw up a new law. The lower court that had brought the petition forward said it was worried there was no distinction between cases of sexual acts involving a young teenager or a toddler. Cases in the meantime would be reviewed individually.
The legal age of consent in Turkey remains 18 and was not affected by the ruling. However, it also drew a furious response from activists who said they were worried the ruling could open the way for unpunished child sexual abuse.
(Wallström is one of the few politicians who call a spade a spade - see her anti Saudi statements for example)

Turkish billboard warns travelers of rape in Sweden | News | DW.COM | 19.08.2016
A billboard advertisement at Istanbul's international airport warned travelers that Sweden has the highest rape rate in the world. In fact, Sweden's rape rate is average for Europe.
Printed in English and Turkish, the advertisement reads: "Travel Warning! Did you know that Sweden has the highest rape rate worldwide?" Also on the billboard is an image of the front page of the pro-government "Gunes" newspaper, which paid for the advertisement, saying: "Sweden, a country of rape."

"A man in his twenties got stuck down inside an outhouse toilet in Drammen on Friday morning. The man was helping a friend who had dropped his mobile phone down in the toilet. It was Drammens Tidende that first reported the story.
- It was my friend who had dropped the phone while urinating and talking on the phone at the same time, the man in his twenties said."
– Det verste jeg har opplevd (My worst experience ever (NRK), Norwegian text)
(He remained stuck for an hour until the fire brigade arrived. They had to break the toilet in order to get him out. The man remarked there were "big animals" moving around down there.)
