- Singaporeans least likely to worry about housing: survey
Singapore has emerged last in the latest Gallup poll of 128 countries on unaffordable housing, local media reported Friday.
The global survey by polling agency Gallup covered 1,000 or more respondents in each country, and only 1 percent of Singaporeans said there had been times over the past 12 months when they did not have enough money to provide adequate shelter for themselves and their families.
Denmark was the second last at 2 percent.

- Terrorism charge
A SOMALI man has been charged with terrorism in Denmark for allegedly trying to kill a cartoonist who caricatured the Prophet Muhammad. Prosecutor Joergen Steen Soerensen said the man, who cannot be named, wanted to ''seriously frighten the population'' and destabilise Denmark by attacking Kurt Westergaard in January. The 28-year-old allegedly forced himself into Westergaard's home armed with a knife and an axe and tried to break into the panic room where the cartoonist was hiding. Police shot the attacker in the hand and leg as he tried to escape. The suspect said he only wanted to frighten Westergaard and denied all charges except of possessing weapons. ソマリアの男はデンマークでテロ容疑者、預言者ムハンマドを戯画化漫画を殺そうとして請求されています

- UK and US fall in Forbes's best countries for business ranking
Forbes study shows Denmark remains best country to do business in while Ireland takes sixth place from UKDenmark is still the best country in the world to do business, according to a Forbes report, but the US has dropped from second to ninth place, while Hong Kong has gone the other way. The UK has fallen from sixth to tenth place, replaced by Ireland, in Forbes's fifth annual ranking of the Best Countries for Business.The report noted that after Britain enjoyed the longest period of expansion on record – during which time growth outpaced most of western Europe – the global financial crisis hit the economy particularly hard in 2008, due to the importance of its financial sector. Services, particularly banking, insurance, and business services, account, by far, for the largest proportion of GDP while industry continues to decline in importance.A high tax burden and a poor showing on trade and monetary freedom compared to many other developed nations were blamed for the drop in the US's ranking. Another major issue is that the business climate for entrepreneurs and investors in the world's largest economy, which is teetering on the edge of a double-dip recession, has fallen behind other countries. The 35% federal corporate tax rate is the highest of any OECD country, according to the Tax Foundation. One bright spot for America is that it still ranks first when it comes to innovation.By contrast, Hong Kong scored in the top three for taxes, investor protection and both trade and monetary freedom. Its economy has bounced back more quickly than others after it forged closer ties to China through tourism, trade and finance. The Hong Kong stock exchange is the place Chinese companies turn to when they want to list abroad.Despite its debt problems, Ireland moved up to sixth pla フォーブスの研究は、デンマーク、アイルランドがUKDenmarkは、フォーブス報告書によると、まだビジネスを行うには世界で最高の国ですから6番目の行われている間でビジネスを行うための最善の国を残っているのがわかる米国は9位に2番目から減少している、香港中他の方法で行ってきました

- Letters: Sweden and the Jews
As Inger Collingridge writes (Letters, 14 October), in 1938 Sweden (together with Switzerland) did ask Nazi Germany to stamp the passports of Jews with a J, so that Jewish refugees could be refused admission. But there was a later change of policy. In 1943 Sweden admitted nearly 8,000 Jewish refugees, mainly from German-occupied Norway and Denmark; Count Bernadotte, of the Swedish Red Cross, near the end of the war secured the release of 31,000 inmates from German concentration camps, several thousand Jews among them, who were brought to Sweden; and Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish consul in Budapest, from 1944 onwards issued Swedish passports to thousands of Hungarian Jews, saving them from the death camps and enabling many to go to Sweden. Some 10,000 Jews were brought to Sweden after the war by the Red Cross and the UN.Ralph BlumenauLondonSwedenJudaismguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

Two Danish space enthusiasts failed in their first attempt to launch a privately built rocket. Peter Madsen and Kristian von Bengtson had hoped to send the nine-metre-long rocket 18.6 miles into the sky from a barge near the island of Bornholm. Their spokeswoman, Sophie Dalgaard, said a fuse problem had prevented the launch, but that they would try again. They have permission to launch the 1.6-tonne prototype from a military test zone until 13 September as part of the €50,000 (£41,770) Danish project. It is the first step towards their dream of flying to the edge of space, 62 miles above sea level.DenmarkSpaceguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds

- Albums of 2010, No 10: John Grant - Queen of Denmark
Largely unknown a year ago, the former Czars frontman surprised many with his weird and wired take on soft rockExclusive session: John Grant performs Where Dreams Go To DieLast year, John Grant was known to perhaps a handful of hipsters as the former frontman of the Czars, a band who enjoyed a measure of critical acclaim if not commercial success. Twelve months on, his name features in many 2010 roundups for an album that is one of the year's word-of-mouth triumphs. After the Czars imploded, Grant descended into booze, drugs, suicidal thoughts and self-loathing, but subsequently had the kind of epiphany that can follow such a crisis. The result is a scarred but revelatory album. Queen of Denmark recalls Dennis (brother of Brian) Wilson's 1977 masterpiece, Pacific Ocean Blue: it has a similar feel of gazing out on to something endless and darkly inviting. With Midlake as his backing band, Grant assembled a tapestry of flutes, piano, strings, eerie synths and gentle drums; almost a weird, wired take on 70s soft rock with some deliberate, ironic nods to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Dean Friedman. Marz and Where Dreams Go to Die take cocked glances at capitalist America while the perkier Jesus Hates Faggots pokes fun at redneck attitudes, which Grant was forced to endure as a gay child in a religious Colorado household. But the sucker punch arrived with the emotionally wringing ballads Queen of Denmark, Sigourney Weaver and Caramel, on which the 41-year-old croons like a latterday, acid-scarred Sinatra. Grant has written almost supernaturally beautiful hymns of love, despair, chaos and ultimate redemption. His are the sort of songs that some artists spend their entire careers wishing they had written.Pop and rockFolk musicDave Simpsonguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limite 今年大部分が未知の前に、元皇帝のフロントマンが多くを驚かせた彼の奇妙なソフトrockExclusiveセッションを取る有線:ジョングラントは夢GoはDieLast年に、ジョングラントは皇帝の元フロントマンとして流行に敏感なのかもしれない一握りに知られていた場所を実行ではなく、商業的な成功を収める場合、批評家の称賛の尺度を楽しんだバンド

- Is a federal Nordic state on the cards? | Eirikur Bergmann
The Nordic nations together would have economic and political clout – if they could overcome their fierce independent spiritsToday the leaders of the five Nordic states are meeting to discuss the possibility of creating a Nordic federal state. Ever since the Kalmar Union of the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden – reaching to Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, Shetland and Orkney – collapsed in 1523, the idea of reinstating some sort of a supra-national Nordic state regularly crops up. Now this old idea has resurfaced in a book the Swedish history professor Gunnar Wetterberg submitted to the Nordic Council in Reykjavik today.Wetterberg argues that together the Nordics (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, with the three micro territories the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Aland), will be stronger and more stable and prosperous than they are on their own. After Sweden and Finland joined Denmark in the European Union in 1995, leaving Norway and Iceland in the European Free Trade Association (Efta) (and within the European Economic Area, which brings them in to the European internal market), the Nordic Council has been in search of renewed purpose. Over the last 15 years the cracks have become ever more obvious in Nordic co-operation: it has been downgraded to cover soft policy issues such as culture, while economics and other hard policy has been transferred to the European level.With a joint government and a parliament based on a common constitution, the federal Nordic state should concentrate on foreign policy and defence, the economy and the labour-market, and research, leaving most other policy areas to the regional authorities in Copenhagen, Helsinki, Oslo, Reykjavik and Stockholm. Wetterberg compares his Nordic federation to the Swiss model and links 北欧諸国は、経済や政治的影響力を持っているか - 彼らは北欧5国の指導者は、北欧の連邦国家を作成する可能性を議論する会議され、その激しい独立spiritsTodayを克服することができれば
