The great wealth of China

The richest self-made women in the worldZHANG YIN, who made her money in the paper industry, is the wealthiest businesswoman in the world, according to Hurun Report, a Chinese magazine. Its ranking of the 20 richest self-made women (those who earned their money) combines its own findings with those of Forbes and the Sunday Times. Over half of the women in the top 20 are of Chinese origin, perhaps because of a communist ethos of gender equality, perhaps because previous generations of Chinese left so little wealth to be inherited. The richest non-Chinese is a Spaniard, Rosalia Mera, one of three on the list to have made her fortune in fashion. More Daily charts ...christian celebrities celebrity hair hot male celebrities

United they stand

20 years after unification eastern Germany still struggles alongIT COST a fortune, created long-standing grievances on both sides and annoyed the British and French. But most Germans wouldn’t have had it any other way. The 20th anniversary of the unification of Germany, on October 3rd, was an opportunity for the country to look at how East and West have fared since. Some inequalities have proved frustratingly persistent: western states remain far wealthier than their eastern counterparts (although they have been helped by the westward migration of cheap Ossi labour), and unemployment in the East is around twice the rate in the West. No eastern state has seen its population grow in the last two decades; hardly any western states have suffered a decline. Yet polls show that most people, on both sides, continue to believe that unification was the right idea.More Daily charts ...celebrity biographies celebrity websites celebrity images

Jon Gosselin Tries, Fails to Stop Kate Plus 8 Australian Adventure

Jon Gosselin really doesn't want his kids on TV anymore. Some have questioned his motives, but he seems intent on living a normal life these days and for his eight offspring to experience the same thing. That said, he went to court to stop Kate Gosselin from dragging them to Australia, but was denied by a judge because the excursion is work related. Once again, Jon and Kate don't see eye to eye. The same judge allowed Kate Gosselin to film her spin-off reality TV show, Kate Plus 8, on TLC in the first place, despite vehement objections by Jon. “This was yet another slap in the face for Jon because he did not want the kids to go to Australia," a source close to Jon Gosselin told Radar Online. “But the judge ruled that because it was for work it was okay. Jon had plans with the kids. Now he won't see them until they return in mid-January." "He was scheduled to have them this weekend, but there was nothing he could do as the decision was taken out of his hands by the judge." “Kate told Jon about the trip, and when he did not agree it was decided that the judge should intervene and the ruling went in her favor." “He is trying to put a brave face on and has explained the situation to his own family and friends, but this is a big disappointment for him." “But if nothing else, they all respect him for trying to stand up to Kate and for fighting for what he thinks is right for his kids as well.” Fresh off goin' camping with Sarah Palin in Alaska, Kate flew to Australia with her eight kids, plus body guard Steve Nield, on Tuesday. The Gosselin crew will also visit New Zealand, and during the excursion they will shoot tons of footage for future episodes of Kate Plus 8. As for Jon's plans tonight? “It is most likely that he will be staying in Pennsylvania to be with his girlfriend Ellen Ross plus family and friends as they ring in 2011." Sounds normal at least.celebrity biographies celebrity websites celebrity images

Access to HIV/AIDS treatment is increasing for those who need it mostTHE latest dispatch from the war on AIDS brings good news. At 5.25m, the number of people in poor and middle-income countries who were being treated for HIV infection at the end of 2009 was up 30% from the end of 2008. Eight countries achieved coverage of 80% or better and 21 others covered more than half of those in need. Though the new figure still represents only about a third of those who could benefit, the rate of increase is impressive. The news is doubly welcome, too, because it is now agreed that treatment, which has the effect of making people less infective, is an important way of stopping the spread of HIV as well as being desirable in its own right.More Daily charts ...celebrity gossip celebrity pictures female male celebrities

The price of Apple's tablet computer, before sales tax, varies significantly between countriesIF YOU fly from Hong Kong to Frankfurt or Paris and look suspiciously like a gadget lover, chances are that you will be searched by customs officers: an iPad with Wi-Fi and 16 gigabytes of memory costs $200 less in the former British colony than in Germany and France. Given the risk of having to pay extra duty (and the price of the flight), potential iPad buyers in both countries ought to consider a trip to nearby Luxembourg, where Apple's popular device is $35 cheaper. The sales tax is only one reason for such differences in price. Consumers in Hong Kong also get a better deal because iPads are assembled in mainland China. Buyers in Switzerland have to pay more because there is less competition between retailers. In China and Mexico, the device may be cheaper because people are poorer. Incidentally, if income is taken into account, consumers in Luxembourg get the best deal: they only have to spend about 0.8% of the city-state's GDP per person on an iPad.More Daily charts ...hollywood celebrity gossip celebrity oops celebrity interviews

Bun fight

Why China needs more expensive burgersA WEAK currency, despite its appeal to exporters and politicians, is no free lunch. But it can provide a cheap one. In China a McDonald’s Big Mac costs just 14.5 yuan on average in Beijing and Shenzhen, the equivalent of $2.18 at market exchange rates. In America the same burger averages $3.71. That makes China’s yuan one of the most undervalued currencies in our Big Mac index, which is based on the idea of purchasing-power parity. This says that a currency’s price should reflect the amount of goods and services it can buy. Since 14.5 yuan can buy as much burger as $3.71, a yuan should be worth $0.26 on the foreign-exchange market. At just $0.15, it is undervalued by about 40%. The tensions caused by currency misalignments prompted Brazil’s finance minister to complain last month that his country was a potential casualty of a “currency war”. The Swiss, who avoid most wars, are in the thick of this one. Their franc is the most expensive currency on our list.More Daily charts ...celebrity gossip celebrity pictures female male celebrities

Good things come to those who wait

It takes ever longer for physicists to win a Nobel prize ONE of Alfred Nobel's original rewards, the Nobel prize in physics has been awarded 104 times to 188 scientists between 1901 and 2010. As time has passed, so the laureates have generally had to wait ever longer for recognition from Sweden's Royal Academy of Science. In 1924, 1957 and 1987, the prizes rewarded research from the previous year, whereas Ernst Ruska shared the 1986 award for work he had done on the design of the first electron microscope 54 years earlier. This year, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov have managed to buck the waiting trend. Their award was for "groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene" that they carried out as recently as 2004.

Camille and Kesley Grammer Divorce Update: Speedy, Expensive

Kesley Grammer really wants to be married. Just not to Camille Grammer. The actor has asked a judge to hurry up and complete his divorce from the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills because he wants to gets hitched once again, this time to 29-year old Kaye Walsh. The former sitcom star has asked a Los Angeles court for "bifurcation," which means a divorce can be finalized within six months of filing, with all financial issues left to be settled at a later date. If the judge agrees, Kesley can marry Walsh as soon as 1/1/11. Says a friend of Camille's, in response to the actor's latest maneuver: Camille "is not surprised, but continues to be disappointed at Kelsey's immature and disrespectful behavior." Whenever money is on the table, though, Mrs. Grammer will do quite well for herself. She and Kesley did NOT sign a prenuptial agreement and, under California law, all earnings are split 50/50. This means Camille will likely walk away with at least $50 million, a lot of which is tied up in properties across the country, from Hawaii to The Hamptons.hollywood celebrity gossip celebrity oops celebrity interviews

Agnostic about gay marriage

Attitudes to gay marriage among religious groups in AmericaTHE debate over gay marriage is at the heart of many races in America's mid-term elections. On Sunday October 10th Carl Paladino, the Republican candidate for governor of New York, said that children should not be “brainwashed” into thinking that homosexuality was acceptable and that he would veto any gay-marriage bill. But that view places him in a minority. For the first time since the Pew Research Centre began conducting polls on the subject in 1995, fewer than half of Americans (48%) are opposed to gay marriage, while 42% are in favour. All religious groups are more accepting than they were in polls taken between 2008 and 2009. The most notable shift has been among white mainstream Protestants and Catholics, 49% of whom are now in favour, and that figure was even higher for those who attend church less than once a week.

Meeting targets

A progress report on the the Millennium Development GoalsON SEPTEMBER 22nd world leaders wrap up a three-day UN-sponsored summit in New York to discuss progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. These are broad development targets that were set at a similar meeting ten years ago. Most of the goals involved reductions by 2015 from 1990 levels, and there has indeed been progress towards them, at least on a global scale. But what happens globally can be dominated by what happens in one or two countries. For example, in 1990, 62% of the world’s poor people lived in just two countries, China and India. A dramatic fall in China’s poverty rate, from 60% to 16%, has therefore had a big impact on global poverty, which seems set to meet its 2015 target. But that is small comfort to the poor in many other countries where poverty has barely budged. Goals such as those involving primary enrolment and reductions in child mortality are unlikely to be met, though some, such as access to clean drinking water, are likely to be exceeded.More Daily charts ...celebrities gossip Rachel Zoe Jim Carrey

Blacked out

Where The Economist is censoredSINCE January 2009 The Economist has been banned or censored in 12 of the 190-odd countries in which it is sold, with news-stand (as opposed to subscription) copies particularly at risk. India has censored 31 issues and at first glance might look like the worst culprit. However its censorship consists of stamping “Illegal” on maps of Kashmir because it disputes the borders shown. China is more proscriptive. Distributors destroy copies or remove articles that contain contentious political content, and maps of Taiwan are usually blacked out. In Sri Lanka both news-stand and subscription copies with coverage of the country may be confiscated at customs. They are then released a couple of weeks later (sometimes sooner if the story is also reported by another news outlet). In Malaysia the information ministry blacks out some stories that it judges may offend Muslims, among other things. And in Libya, four consecutive editions were confiscated in late August/early September 2009, the first of which featured a piece critical of Muammar Qaddafi.Images can also prompt action. The cover of last year's Christmas issue showing Adam and Eve was censored in five countries. Malaysian officials covered up Eve's breasts. Pakistan objected to the depiction of Adam, which it said broke a prohibition on depicting Koranic figures. ...famous celebrities celebrity photos celebrity morgue

A dramatic fall in China’s poverty rate, from 60% to 16%, has therefore had a big impact on global poverty, which seems set to meet its 2015 target. But that is small comfort to the poor in many other countries where poverty has barely budged. Goals such as those involving primary enrolment and reductions in child mortality are unlikely to be met, though some, such as access to clean drinking water, are likely to be exceeded.More Daily charts ...Singer Rihanna celebrities without makeup famous celebrities

Let's get fiscal

Which government takes the biggest bite out of an income of $100,000?LOOMING debt and demographic crises have many governments searching for new revenue sources. Some governments have less room to raise taxes than others. An analysis by KPMG, a consultancy, compares effective tax rates—net of offsets—and social-security contribution rates across 81 countries. Unsurprisingly, European countries top the list. As a result austerity measures across much of Europe must focus on cutting spending. At just under 40%, the total burden of taxation in India is quite high relative to that in China. But a thin social safety net means that China’s residents must save a high share of their disposable income as insurance, offsetting some of the growth effect of low tax rates. For low rates, nothing beats living in a banking centre, a petro-state, or (naturally) a tax haven.More Daily charts ...celebrities without makeup famous celebrities celebrity photos

Feed the world

How hunger has changed across the developing worldTWENTY-NINE countries suffer from “alarming” levels of hunger, most of which are in sub-Saharan Africa, according to a report published on Monday October 11th. The “Global Hunger Index” (GHI) gives developing countries scores based on three indicators: the proportion of people who are undernourished, the proportion of children under five who are underweight, and the child mortality rate. The worst possible score is 100, but in practice, anything over 25 is considered “alarming”. Scores under five, meanwhile, are indicative of “low hunger”. Since 1990 the overall level of the index has fallen by almost a quarter (though the data do not cover the period of the global recession beginning in 2008). Two-thirds of the 99 countries counted in 1990 have reduced their populations' hunger levels. Kuwait, Malaysia, Turkey and Mexico have been the most successful, cutting their scores by over 60%. Those where hunger has increased include North Korea, Comoros and Congo. Congo's GHI score fell by over 60%, the worst of any country.More Daily charts ...Rachel Zoe Jim Carrey Aaron Karo

Good things come to those who wait

It takes ever longer for physicists to win a Nobel prize ONE of Alfred Nobel's original rewards, the Nobel prize in physics has been awarded 104 times to 188 scientists between 1901 and 2010. As time has passed, so the laureates have generally had to wait ever longer for recognition from Sweden's Royal Academy of Science. In 1924, 1957 and 1987, the prizes rewarded research from the previous year, whereas Ernst Ruska shared the 1986 award for work he had done on the design of the first electron microscope 54 years earlier. This year, Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov have managed to buck the waiting trend. Their award was for "groundbreaking experiments regarding the two-dimensional material graphene" that they carried out as recently as 2004.

All that glitters is not gold

A lesson in how not to investMANY are seduced by gold, but its less illustrious cousin, silver, is now attracting considerable attention. On September 30th, demand from investors and industrial users helped push the price of silver to $22 per ounce, a value not seen for over 30 years. But unlike record-breaking gold, it is extremely unlikely to surpass its peak of 1980. That was when the Hunt brothers, Texan oil barons who were at one time the world's richest men, tried to corner the silver market in the belief that inflation would destroy the value of the dollar. Buying up around a third of the world's silver supply, they pushed its price up from a low of $1.26 in 1971 to nearly $50 in 1980 ($140 in today's prices). Changes to the way that regulators dealt with leverage in the market meant their position was unsustainable, though. Over the course of three months the price collapsed to $15, leaving them to contend with heavy losses. More Daily charts ...celebrity interviews hollywood celebrity pictures hot celebrity men

Settling in

Israeli construction in the West Bank and GazaISRAEL’s ten-month moratorium on construction of settlements in the West Bank expired late on Sunday September 26th, and building has resumed in some parts. Peace Now, an Israeli anti-settlement pressure group, estimates that construction on over 2,000 dwellings could now begin or resume. Over the last two decades official statistics (which exclude East Jersualem) show that settlement construction in the West Bank and Gaza has tended to intensify around the time of peace talks, as Israeli prime ministers have sought to placate right-wingers. The last freeze was brought in by Yitzhak Rabin in 1992, but from the first contained loopholes. It was formally cancelled by Binyamin Netanyahu when he was elected four years later. This in part accounts for the drop in government construction during the '90s. The shift towards private construction reflects a general trend throughout Israel, though it is less pronounced in the settlements than elsewhere.

The fattest countries are the United States and Mexico, where around a third of adults are obese. Britain's adults are the biggest in Europe. By contrast, Asian OECD countries Japan and South Korea are the leanest. Governments will count the eventual cost: health-care spending on an obese person is 25% more than for someone of average weight. And the problem is not confined to the rich world. In rapidly developing countries such as China, Brazil and India obesity rates, though still low, are growing fast as the dietary habits of the ever-increasing middle classes change. ...celebrity morgue celebrity gossip celebrity pictures female

The luck of the Irish

Ireland's property hangover continuesON SEPTEMBER 30th, the Irish government revealed the full extent of its financial-sector bail-out. Anglo Irish Bank and other lenders that made bad commercial-property bets are to be provided with fresh capital to the tune of 20% of GDP this year. As a result, Ireland’s budget deficit is forecast to rise to 32% of GDP and its gross government debt to 96% of GDP. These huge costs contrast sharply with those in other countries that have had to rescue their banks. Ireland’s financial sector is so large relative to national income that, if it is not propped up, it has the ability to “bring down the sovereign”, according to Brian Lenihan, the finance minister. But Ireland does have some breathing space: it doesn't need to borrow from the bond markets until early next year as it has enough cash to cover immediate needs. The government will just have to hope that the public finances don't deliver any more nasty surprises in the intervening period.More Daily charts ...hot celebrity men celebrities gossip Rachel Zoe

But most Germans wouldn’t have had it any other way. The 20th anniversary of the unification of Germany, on October 3rd, was an opportunity for the country to look at how East and West have fared since. Some inequalities have proved frustratingly persistent: western states remain far wealthier than their eastern counterparts (although they have been helped by the westward migration of cheap Ossi labour), and unemployment in the East is around twice the rate in the West. No eastern state has seen its population grow in the last two decades; hardly any western states have suffered a decline. Yet polls show that most people, on both sides, continue to believe that unification was the right idea.More Daily charts ...Jim Carrey Aaron Karo Mel Gibson

Corn fed

Another agricultural commodity surgesTHE US Department of Agriculture's unexpected warning that America’s production of corn (elsewhere known as maize) would drop by 4% in 2010 has sent prices rocketing. They rose by 8.5% on October 11th, the biggest one-day rise in 37 years, and by mid-week corn was trading at $5.88 a bushel. The fact that prices for other crops such as soyabeans and wheat are also bubbling makes it difficult for farmers to judge which will be the most profitable crop to sow for next season, and that may hamper an immediate supply response. The concentration of farming in a few big countries means that a hungry world is dependent for its food on stable production patterns in a small number of places. Whether Russian wheat or American corn, problems in one country can send shock waves through global markets.More Daily charts ...celebrity photos celebrity morgue celebrity gossip

Dealing with debt

Which countries would prefer to raise taxes or cut spendingTHANKS in part to the extraordinary measures taken to stop the global economic crisis turning into a worldwide depression, government budgets around the world are awash in a sea of red ink. Now that the worst is past, governments must think about how to reduce their deficits. Most will have to slash spending, or increase taxes, or do both. A new survey by GlobeScan and PIPA for the BBC World Service asked over 22,000 people in 22 countries which of these paths they would prefer their governments to take. A majority preferred a cut in spending to increased taxes, though the margin by which they did so varies. More than 80% of those polled in France favoured spending cuts, while only 8% supported tax increases. Britons were more divided about the relative merits of these two approaches, with just under half favouring spending cuts. Over a third of Britons favoured higher taxes, the highest such share for any country surveyed.More Daily charts ...hollywood celebrity gossip celebrity oops celebrity interviews

Feed the world

How hunger has changed across the developing worldTWENTY-NINE countries suffer from “alarming” levels of hunger, most of which are in sub-Saharan Africa, according to a report published on Monday October 11th. The “Global Hunger Index” (GHI) gives developing countries scores based on three indicators: the proportion of people who are undernourished, the proportion of children under five who are underweight, and the child mortality rate. The worst possible score is 100, but in practice, anything over 25 is considered “alarming”. Scores under five, meanwhile, are indicative of “low hunger”. Since 1990 the overall level of the index has fallen by almost a quarter (though the data do not cover the period of the global recession beginning in 2008). Two-thirds of the 99 countries counted in 1990 have reduced their populations' hunger levels. Kuwait, Malaysia, Turkey and Mexico have been the most successful, cutting their scores by over 60%. Those where hunger has increased include North Korea, Comoros and Congo. Congo's GHI score fell by over 60%, the worst of any country.More Daily charts ...celebrity gossip celebrity pictures female male celebrities

Meeting targets

A progress report on the the Millennium Development GoalsON SEPTEMBER 22nd world leaders wrap up a three-day UN-sponsored summit in New York to discuss progress towards the Millennium Development Goals. These are broad development targets that were set at a similar meeting ten years ago. Most of the goals involved reductions by 2015 from 1990 levels, and there has indeed been progress towards them, at least on a global scale. But what happens globally can be dominated by what happens in one or two countries. For example, in 1990, 62% of the world’s poor people lived in just two countries, China and India. A dramatic fall in China’s poverty rate, from 60% to 16%, has therefore had a big impact on global poverty, which seems set to meet its 2015 target. But that is small comfort to the poor in many other countries where poverty has barely budged. Goals such as those involving primary enrolment and reductions in child mortality are unlikely to be met, though some, such as access to clean drinking water, are likely to be exceeded.More Daily charts ...celebrities without makeup famous celebrities celebrity photos
