STOCKHOLM: Nyamko Sabuni would stand out anyway, being tiny, dark-skinned and obviously foreign in a place where those things are still anomalies.

In Europe, Ireland is the country most at risk of a property crash because of "the effect of rising interest rates in a flexible mortgage system," said Just, the Deutsche Bank analyst. Spain is next, he said, because it faces "contagion risk" from drops in other economies, like Britain; foreign purchasers of second homes have fueled much of the Spanish property boom. Germany, where prices have stayed mostly flat since the mid-1990s, faces the least risk of a property crash, Just said, because prices do not have as far to fall.

"Asean appears to be weakening," said Benito Lim, a political scientist and expert on regional issues at Ateneo de Manila University. "Its relevance to Southeast Asians is no longer that strong." Many officials and analysts say that only by adhering to the principles that make the EU what it is today, like openness and respect for human rights, can Asean hope to emulate its European counterpart.

Provocative posters comparing people who have learning disabilities to pets have been heavily criticised by animal rights groups.

apes are mostly concerned with their own individual goals. They use or exploit others - by gathering information from them, manipulating them as social tools, coordinating actions with them for their own benefit - and often compete with them as well. Human children, on the other hand, often are concerned with sharing psychological states with others by providing them with helpful information, forming shared intentions and attention with them, and learning from demonstrations produced for their benefit.

The presence of hydrogen in the carbonado diamonds indicates an origin in a hydrogen-rich interstellar space, he and colleagues believe.

For participants with low narcissism, there was no difference in aggression, whether their partner had the same or a different birthday (indeed, you can see no bars at all for this group -- it's not an error; the aggression level was zero for both the same birthday and different birthday cases).

Until now, damage could be accurately tested only by sticking a biopsy needle into the liver through the stomach wall. But this damages the liver - and, occasionally, can result in death - so it's not used for routine health screening. But a new machine, which works using similar technology to ultrasound, is able to assess the degree of liver damage a drinker may be doing to themselves.

Research published online today in the European Heart Journal (1) has found that the protective effect that tea has on the cardiovascular system is totally wiped out by adding milk.

"We've discovered that cells not generally thought of as part of the immune system actually play an important role in protecting the intestine from immune system attack," says Turley. "Because the cells are found in lymph nodes throughout the body, they may offer a way of suppressing a variety of autoimmune diseases," which result from immune system assault on healthy tissue.

Last month, I noted that ethics books are more likely to be stolen than non-ethics books in philosophy (looking at a large sample of recent ethics and non-ethics books from leading academic libraries).

Canadian coins containing tiny transmitters have mysteriously turned up in the pockets of at least three American contractors who visited Canada, says a branch of the U.S. Defense Department.

Once you've been in the MRI field for any length of time, you start hearing all of the various horror stories about things that have flown into a scanner. Often, newcomers don't take the real danger of flying objects seriously until they witness an oxygen tank or gurney flying into a magnet themselves. This page will contain a collection of pictures and stories of metalic projectiles. Please show this page to all MRI newcomers, for their own safety and the safety of their patients!

Whereas brain-computer interfaces enable people to control various aspects of their environment, the goal of augmented cognition is to determine peoples’ cognitive state in order to enhance it.
