Norway the best place to live: UN
A boy jumps into the water from a dock as the sun sets on Lindoeya island in the Oslo fjord. The going only seems to get better in Norway which on Thursday was named by the United Nations as the country with the best quality of life for a record-matching eighth time.
UNITED NATIONS (AFP) - – The United Nations on Thursday named oil-rich Norway as the country with the best quality of life, while Asia has made the biggest strides in recent decades.
The UN’s annual A-to-Z of global wealth, poverty, health and education highlighted however that it is becoming ever more difficult to break into the rich club of nations.
Norway — with its 81.0 years of life expectancy and average annual income of 58,810 dollars — has now topped the Human Development Index (HDI) for all but two years since 2001.
It does not top any individual category — average income in Liechtenstein is a wallet-busting 81,011 dollars and Japan’s life expectancy is 83.6 years — but Norway’s all-round performance gave it superiority in the UN Development Programme (UNDP) 20th annual rankings.
Australia, New Zealand, the United States and Ireland followed at the top of the standings.
Zimbabwe came in last among the 169 nations ranked, behind Mozambique, Burundi, Niger and Democratic Republic of Congo.
In stark contrast to the leaders, in Zimbabwe life expectancy is just 47 years and per capita income 176 dollars.
DR Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe are the only three countries to see their HDI value fall below 1970 levels.
“These countries offer lessons on the devastating impact of conflict, the AIDS epidemic and economic and political mismanagement,” said UNDP chief Helen Clarke, the former New Zealand prime minister.
The study aims to give a broader assessment of quality of life than just income — by including, health, education, gender equality and political freedom — and its lead writer Jeni Klugman said most of the world has seen “dramatic progress” since 1970.
Average life expectancy rose from 59 to 70 years, primary school enrollment grew from 55 to 70 percent, and per capita incomes doubled to more than 10,000 dollars. Poor nations have made particular progress.
Overall countries “are healthier, more educated and wealthier and more power to appoint and hold their leaders accountable than ever before,” said Klugman.
“But some countries have suffered serious setbacks, particularly in health — sometimes erasing the gains of several decades,” she added.
The nations which have risen most up the rankings include “growth miracles” such as China, which has risen eight places in the last five years to 89th, Indonesia and South Korea.
East Asia and the Pacific had the strongest performance of any region over the past 40 years — twice the average worldwide progress.
China, the second highest index achiever since 1970, has been successful mainly because of income rather than health or education, the report said.
China’s per capita income increased 21-fold over four decades, lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty. Yet its school enrollment has dropped since 1970 and life expectancy has not improved as much as other nations.
Klugman highlighted that “economic growth alone does not automatically bring improvements in health and education.”
Nepal surprisingly emerged as one of the most improved nations, despite its longstanding civil war. A child born today in Nepal can expect to live 25 years longer than a child born in 1970.
In six sub-Saharan African countries and three in the former Soviet Union, life expectancy is now below 1970 levels. Mainly because of the HIV epidemic and tougher conditions for adults in former communist nations.
And even though incomes have grown dramatically, poor nations are not making the same economic strides as they are in health and education.
“On average rich countries have grown faster than poor ones over the past 40 years,” said the report.
“The divide between developed and developing countries persists: a small subset of countries has remained at the top of the world income distribution and only a handful of countries that started out poor have joined that high income group,” it concluded.
ADVANTAGES OF TRAVELING ALONE:
Many people wouldn’t dream of going on holiday by themselves, much less travelling for a sustained period, but in actual fact, you’d be surprised at the advantages to be had at not having all that excess baggage.
Escape
We all dream of getting away from time to time, some of us more than others, but all too often from the moment you start planning your escape with your partner in crime you find that he or she was planning on tunnelling out while you had your heart set on vaulting the wall. You fancy cherry picking in France; she wants to be an Au Pair in Italy. You dream of pipes in the Andes; he dreams of the beaches of Brazil.
Well, life is full of compromises, and chances are it’ll be the experience of a lifetime wherever you go, but a lot of people don’t realise just how different it is when you go it alone - just how much better it can be! Now, we’re not trying to convince you that your partner or friends are a waste of space but most people never even contemplate the idea of going alone and the thrill that such an adventure can bring.
Hell is Other People
Your options aren’t just cut in half by subjecting yourself to the preferences of another person, they’re massively reduced. When you’re travelling alone you can literally walk off into the sunset on the slightest whim without the faintest excuse of an explanation. There’ll be nobody to argue with over money, the smell in the tent or whose fault it was you missed the train either!
Hitch-hiking is not often recommended in today’s messed up world, but if it is your chosen mode of transport, you’re far more likely to get a ride if you’re alone. You’ll have the time and space to keep a full and inspired journal too - you could be the next Jack Kerouac!
There’s the possibility you’ll meet somebody special while you’re travelling and suddenly three becomes a crowd. You couldn’t possibly ditch your friend, so you’ll just spend the rest of your life wondering - not an issue if you’re free as a solitary bird. Ok, that may seem a little optimistic and there’s no reason why you won’t find romance whatever the circumstances, but the point is you really can leave it all behind and explore yourself much more deeply when it’s just you and the big wide world.
So many people are bewildered by the thought of travelling alone but really, it’s not as scary as you think and it’s very likely you’ll have a much better time. The recommendation is baby steps - take a week to travel somewhere and see how you get on. You’ll be planning your next trip before you even get back - if you even come back that is.
DISADVANTAGES TRAVELING IN GROUPS:
Traveling in big groups, such as with the family or with your gang or close friends, is more fun than going alone on a trip. Well, this is just my opinion and how I feel about travel. My motto is: “The more the merrier!”
Though more travel companions means more fun, it is also much harder to go on a group trip than with just two or three of you on the road. First, it’s harder to organize and manage a big group for a trip. Another challenge is in accommodating the group for a place to stay and for transportation. Thus, when traveling in groups, more planning and budgeting is needed than when going on a trip with fewer persons
WASHINGTON (AFP) - – Computer security firm Sophos has shot down rumors that a “10/10/10” virus will strike computers at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday — October 10, 2010.
“It’s just the kind of scare that people love to murmur about, and share with their online friends, but I’m afraid it has no basis in fact,” Sophos’ Graham Cluley wrote in a blog post.
“Focusing on particular dates is not the way to keep your computer protected against malware attack,” Cluley said.
“The truth is that there is malicious software which triggers every day of the year — so worrying about one particular date or time is actually counter-productive, as it implies that you should take less care on other dates,” he said.
“The reason why the 10th October has received a little more attention is because of the cute quirk of the numbers reading 10/10/10,” he said.
“But even that’s not a new idea. For instance, in the run-up to March 3 2003, I had to debunk rumours that the Internet would stop working at 03/03/03,” Cluley said.
“The 10/10/10 rumour, just like the 03/03/03 one, is utter codswallop.”

Chevrolet Cruze
Already a hit in Asia and Europe, the Cruze replaces the disappointing Chevy Cobalt, offering a more refined interior and better handling. Two four-cylinder engines are available, including a 1.4-liter turbocharged version that will get 40 mpg with a manual transmission. It’s arriving in showrooms now.
Chevrolet Spark
Due in the U.S. later next year, the Spark is a sporty entry-level vehicle designed by GM Daewoo Auto & Technology, General Motors’ Korean subsidiary. It’s part of a wave of new small cars from GM.
Ford Focus
The next-generation Focus was designed in Europe and is expected to be a huge step up from the American version that’s been sold here over the past decade. Due in early 2011, it’ll feature a direct-injection four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission for improved fuel economy. Later in 2011 a battery-powered Focus will go on sale.
Ford Explorer
The iconic sport-utility has been redesigned on a car-like, unibody platform instead of a truck-based chassis. And it’s been outfitted with new engines, including a turbocharged, direct-injection Ecoboost engine that promises a 30% improvement in fuel economy. It will go on sale early next year.
Fiat 500
This cute, bulb-shaped compact from Fiat is one of the bonuses of the Italian carmaker’s role in rescuing Chrysler. Fiat plans to return to the U.S. market after a 30-year absence, and will sell the 500 through separate Fiat showrooms at some 165 Chrysler dealerships, starting early next year.
A species of montane mouse documented during the Rapid Assessment Program biodiversity survey in the Nakanai Mountains, Papua New Guinea in April 2009. The beautiful long-tailed mouse was captured at a high elevation site (1,590m above sea level). Scientists on October 6, 2010 unveiled a spectacular array of more than 200 new species discovered in the Pacific highlands of Papua New Guinea
SYDNEY (AFP) - – Scientists on Wednesday unveiled a spectacular array of more than 200 new species discovered in the Pacific islands of Papua New Guinea, including a white-tailed mouse and a tiny, long-snouted frog.
The survey of remote New Britain island and the Southern Highlands ranges, accessible only by a combination of small plane, dinghy, helicopter and foot, found an exciting range of new mammals, amphibians, insects and plants.
“To find a completely new genus of mammal in this day and age is pretty cool,” said lead researcher Steve Richards of the new mouse species discovery.
“I mean, people have heard of birds of paradise and tree-climbing kangaroos and stuff, but when you look even closer at the small things you just realise that there’s a staggering diversity out there that we really know nothing about,” he told AFP.
Papua New Guinea’s jungles are one of just three wild rainforest areas, along with the Amazon and the Congo basin, left in the world and Richards said they were a vast “storehouse” of biodiversity, with scores of new species found by his Conservation International team.
The “very, very beautiful mouse”, the two-centimetre (0.8 inch) long-snouted frog and another with bright yellow spots were among the highlights, but the expedition documented 100 new species in each of the spider and insect orders alone, he said.
“I would say that pretty much no matter where you go in New Guinea you’re guaranteed to pick up new or poorly known spectacular species,” said Richards, an expert in frogs and reptiles who is based in Cairns, Australia.
“For some lesser known groups only half of the things that we document actually have names, we aren’t even a fraction of the way there,” he added.
The rugged, mountainous and largely inaccessible terrain meant biologists had not even been able to enter some regions and Richards said there were “large areas of New Guinea that are pretty much unexplored biologically”.
Sample animals were taken of a number of species, including the mouse, and genetic testing had confirmed that it was not related to any known creature, he said.
“These kind of discoveries are almost kind of a good news story amongst all the gloom,” he said, referring to the creeping extinction of other creatures.
“There really are spectacular species still out there and there really is a potential for things to survive.”

World’s Scariest Bridges
From sky-high suspension bridges to dilapidated rope bridges, these crossings aren’t for the meek.
By Lyndsey Matthews
Aiguille du Midi BridgeRobert Harding Picture Library Ltd / AlamyMore from TravelandLeisure.com

- America’s Strangest Roadside Attractions
All bridges serve a purpose, whether utilitarian or inspirational. And some of them add a distinct element of fear. But you don’t have to be in a remote part of the world: scary bridges exist everywhere, in all shapes, sizes, and heights. And crossing over them can be the ultimate in adventure travel.
Many courageous (or foolhardy) travelers seek out hair-raising bridges just for the thrill. The bridges along the route to Colombia’s National Archaeological Park of Tierradentro are a good example. Though there are safer routes via bus from La Plata, some thrill-seekers choose to ride motorcycles over slippery bamboo crossings deep in the mountains, where one wrong move could mean plunging into a turbulent river.
So get ready to face your fears—or maybe find your next adventure—with our list of the world’s most petrifying bridges.
Aiguille du Midi Bridge
France
Don’t look down. At this height, you’ll want to keep your eyes locked on the panorama of the craggy French Alps. Fortunately, the bridge itself is short, making for an easy escape if acrophobia sets in. But those truly afraid of heights probably won’t even see the bridge; getting here requires taking a cable car that climbs 9,200 vertical feet in just 20 minutes.
Where: The summit of Aiguille du Midi in the Mont Blanc massif near Chamonix.
Stats: 12,605 feet above sea level.
Royal Gorge BridgeHarris Photographic
Royal Gorge Bridge
Colorado
America’s highest suspension bridge may be breathtaking for some, but those scared of heights may be left gasping for air as they stare straight down nearly 90 stories at the Arkansas River below. Completed in 1929, the bridge didn’t have stabilizing wind cables until 1982.
Where: Royal Gorge, Colorado, over the Arkansas River.
Stats: 969 feet above the gorge; 1,260 feet long.
Trift Suspension BridgePrisma/Gerth Roland / Alamy
Trift Suspension Bridge
Switzerland
One of the Alps’ longest and highest pedestrian suspension bridges, Trift was built in 2004 to reconnect hikers to a hut made inaccessible by a retreating glacier. A replacement in 2009 gave this bridge higher handrails and stabilizing cables to prevent it from swinging violently in the wind. But it still provides an adrenaline rush.
Where: Trift Glacier, near the town of Gadmen in the Swiss Alps.
Stats: 328 feet high; 558 feet long.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope BridgeiStock
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Northern Ireland
First things first: nobody has fallen off this bridge. However, many visitors who walk across simply can’t handle the return and have to go by boat. It used to be even scarier. Erected by fishermen who went to the island to catch salmon, the original bridge had only a single handrail. The rope bridge eventually became popular with tourists seeking a thrill, and the National Trust replaced it with a sturdier structure with two handrails.
Where: Near Ballintoy in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Stats: 65 feet long; nearly 100 feet above the rocks below.
Capilano Suspension BridgeCourtesy of Capilano Suspension Bridge
Capilano Suspension Bridge
Canada
Originally built in 1889, this simple suspension footbridge surrounded by an evergreen forest is very high, fairly narrow, and extremely shaky—the cedar planks bounce on their steel cables as you walk across them. If the bridge doesn’t scare you, wait until the spring of 2011; the Cliffhanger attraction will allow visitors to climb across a series of suspended walkways attached to a cliff.
Where: North Vancouver, British Columbia, across the Capilano River.
Stats: 450 feet long; 230 feet high.
Mackinac BridgeiStock
Mackinac Bridge
Michigan
Some drivers get so nervous about crossing this five-mile-long bridge that they don’t even go. And this happens so often that the Mackinac Bridge Authority will drive your car or motorcycle for you (and for free). The biggest fear is the wind, which often exceeds 30 miles per hour on the bridge.
Where: Between Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas.
Stats: 5 miles long; 199 feet above the water.
Puente de OjuelaMario Valenzuela
Puente de Ojuela
Mexico
This bridge leads to a ghost town, but it’s the squeaky wood floor that makes it scary. Fortunately, steel cables suspended from two towers bring a greater feeling of safety. Still, steel is a relatively recent addition: when German engineer Santiago Minhguin built this bridge in the 19th century, those towers were made of wood.
Where: The ghost town of Ojuela, an old mining settlement in the northern state of Durango, Mexico.
Stats: 1,043 feet long; 2 feet wide; 360 feet above a gorge.
Chesapeake Bay BridgeMichael Ventura / Alamy
Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Maryland
Drivers are notoriously afraid of this bridge, as it’s subjected to frequent—and often violent—storms. And when the bad weather hits, forget about visibility: get to the middle of this five-mile-long bridge and you can barely see land.
Where: Spanning the Chesapeake Bay to connect Maryland’s eastern and western shores.
Stats: Nearly 5 miles long; 186 feet high at its highest point.
Monkey BridgesChristopher Buchanan
Monkey Bridges
Vietnam
It may seem that only monkeys could make it across traditional monkey bridges—after all, they’re typically made of a single bamboo log and one handrail. However, the name comes from the stooped monkey-like posture you have to maintain when crossing, so as not to plunge into the river below.
Where: Various points across the Mekong Delta at the southern tip of Vietnam.
Stats: These bridges are built by hand by local residents and vary from town to town. Newer ones are made of concrete.
Hussaini Hanging BridgeRobert Harding Picture Library Ltd / Alamy
Hussaini Hanging Bridge
Pakistan
Massive gaps between the planks, a wild side-to-side swing: there are reasons this is considered one of the world’s most harrowing suspension bridges. While rickety cable and wood bridges are common in this area, crossing this bridge over the rapidly flowing Hunza River is particularly frightening, as the tattered remains of the previous bridge hang by threads next to the one currently in use.
Where: In the village of Hussaini in Northern Pakistan, crossing the Hunza River.
