The U.S. just dropped down to the seventh position in the Networked Readiness Index Rankings for 2006. The Rankings were included in a report submitted by the World Economic Forum, which attributed the sinking to the "deterioration of political and regulatory environment" - whatever that means.
The report took into consideration the technological advancements in general business, the infrastructure available for production or use, and the initiative and gravity of the national government's policies on economic development and improving local and global competitiveness. With that said, the top 10 countries in the Index Rankings of 2006 are:
Denmark now leads the world in technological innovation and application, because of constant support given from the government for the thriving e-businesses, strict regulatory policies and a quick and early liberalization of the telecommunication sector. |

People's personalities are being determined well before birth, but the culprit is not the stars. It's the sun.In a study made at Aarhus University Hospital, Denmark, people who were born in the winter months are said to be more at risk of having schizophrenia. A study of people who committed suicide in England and Wales meanwhile also found out that 17 percent more people who had committed suicide had birthdays in April, May and June than in the rest of the year. The recent explanations for this have concentrated on the more direct effects of the seasons on the mother: how much sunshine a pregnant woman is exposed to, or the effects of temperature. Researchers from London also collated their findings on the relationship between the seasons and the development of babies. When they went to Singapore, however, where the temperature remains at a constant 80 degrees all year round, they found no season-of-birth effect at all. Scientists are still studying the effects of lack of sunshine to neurodevelopmental abnormalities. They are hoping to someday understand the biological basis for this seasonal blip in the incidence of mental disorder, in order to fix it. |

Cheops pyramid

Seems like there really is no stopping now the archaeologists from probing deep within the walls of the great Cheops pyramid. After failing to fully explore the pyramid back in 2002 from the Queen's chamber because of a stone wall or door with copper handles, the team is back, and armed with a new robot.This robot will trek the same narrow passages in the Queen's chamber as the robot in the first expedition did. This time, however, it will be armed with tiny cameras, which can be inserted via a tiny hole drilled through the blockage. It is the archaeologists' hope that they will find more clues that will lead them to the discovery of the very tomb of Cheops. The team will be composed of experts from Egypt, Singapore, Britain and Hong Kong. The robot will start its mission some time in February next year. |
