Can’t get enough of this psychic pig: A staff member washes Funtik the pig as it prepares to predict the result of the Euro 2012 soccer match between Portugal and Czech Republic, by choosing the food plate with either the Portuguese or the Czech flag, at the fan zone in Kiev June 21, 2012.

Canada among most peaceful nations in the world: report
Canada is once again among the Top 10 most peaceful countries in the world, according to a global survey.
The Institute for Economics and Peace, an international research body, says in its 2011 Global Peace Index that Canada is the eighth most peaceful country in the world in which to live, out of 153 countries measured.
Warmer foreign relations and a decrease to the lowest possible level on what the institute calls the “political terror scale”— a measure of a nation’s respect for human rights — all contributed to Canada’s position in the survey.
