Top Ten Economically Prosperous


Top Ten Economically Prosperous Nations Worldwide

The Global Competitiveness Report 2011-2012 released by the World Economic Forum (WEF) measures the current and future economic prosperity of countries over the world.


According to this year?s ranking, Switzerland is spotted No. 1, producing 0.44pc of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).


Singapore overtakes Sweden for the second position.


Northern and Western European countries named in the top ten include Sweden (3rd), Finland (4th), Germany (6th), the Netherlands (7th), Denmark (8th) and the United Kingdom (10th).


Despite falling three places since last year, Japan still ranks 9th place.


Now, let's take a look at top ten economically prosperous nations worldwide.



1. Switzerland





Swizerland peaks the WEF global competitive list, contributing 0.44pc to the world's gross domestic product (GDP). An ?inadequately educated workforce? was the country's greatest barrier for doing business



2. Singapore




This year, Singapore moves up a place into the second position. The country produces 0.39pc of global GDP, while its inflation rate increases from 4.5pc in June to 5.2pc in July and 5.4pc in August



3. Sweden




Sweden is down from the second to third place this year



4. Finland




Finland jumped three places into the fourth this year, producing 0.25pc of global GDP. However, the country?s tax rates become the greatest problem for businesses



5. The United States




The world's biggest economy slips from fourth to fifth place this year. The United States produces one fifth of global GDP



6. Germany




Germany is ranked the sixth, producing nearly 4pc of the world's GDP. The country?s restrictive labor regulations become barriers for doing business



7. The Netherlands




The Netherlands moves up a place into seventh this year. It produces 0.91pc of global GDP



8. Denmark




Denmark also jumps a place into the eighth spot this year. According to almost a third of the country's businesses, tax rates are the major problems for doing business



9. Japan




Japan slips three places into ninth spot this year, producing 5.82pc of the world's GDP. This country?s policy instability is considered as the most problematic factor for doing business



10. The United Kingdom




The UK is named in the top ten from last year's twelfth place, producing nearly 3pc of global GDP. Tax rates claim the greatest barrier to doing business

Chasewater Reservoir Hightech Lanes For


(PRWEB UK) 27 January 2012

Lanes for Drains has used its 21st Century sewer surveillance technology to reveal the 200-year-old hidden secrets of one of the UK?s largest man-made reservoirs.


The company was called in to work on a �5.5m project to repair a dam at the 108 hectare Chasewater reservoir near Lichfield in Staffordshire, owned by Staffordshire County Council.

The dam was built at the same time as the reservoir was created in 1796, making it one of the oldest reservoir dams in the UK.


Main contractor Galliford Try contracted Lanes for Drains, the UK?s largest independent drainage specialist, to carry out a CCTV survey on a 100 metre long brick-lined culvert that had not been opened up since it was built.


Engineers from Lanes' Birmingham depot found that the drawdown culvert, 1m high and 0.9m wide and designed to control the release of water from the reservoir, was 70 per cent blocked with silt and bricks.


They used a Kaiser-Whale recycling jet vac tanker to clear the debris ? while continuously monitoring progress with HD quality video footage from an IPEK Rovver 225 main crawler camera.

During the work, the team discovered a large chamber not identified on the plans.


Lanes for Drains? lead engineer Dave Faris said: ?It was special to be able to work in a structure that had not been seen for 200 years. But its age and the working conditions made this a particularly challenging job.?


Usually, the jet vac tanker can be used to blast debris with water under 3,000 pounds per square inch of pressure, liquefying it so it can be removed in a continuous process.


Dave Faris said: ?Because we were working on the bed of a drained reservoir with limited access to the culvert, we had to clear it in two metre sections.


?Due to the remote location, the jet vac hydraulics couldn?t be used, so the main high pressure water jet had to be manually handled on each two metre section. It was not the conventional way to do it, but at Lanes we?re used to finding ways round difficult problems.?


The IPEK camera was used to monitor progress then carry out a full surveillance survey of the culvert. In all, the project took four and a half days.


Ronan O'Cualain, Site Agent for Galliford Try, said: ?It was not a straight forward job for Lanes for Drains but we knew they had the knowhow and technology to get it done. The engineers from both companies worked well together to achieve a good outcome.?


The hidden chamber, measuring 1.5m by 2m, was discovered 25 metres into the culvert ? 3.5 metres under the floor of the reservoir.


?It was a special moment when we saw the chamber on the screen,? said Dave Farris. ?It opened up like a large vaulted ceiling. The quality of the brickwork was spectacular. Even though it?s two centuries old, it?s still in very good condition.?


Chasewater reservoir, originally built to supply water to local canals, was emptied in 2010 after surveys revealed weaknesses in its main dam.


Changes to the dam will help engineers monitoring its state and flow rates. The stripping of trees from the dam now makes visual inspection much easier and means repairs will be identified much more easily.


The repair work was commissioned by Staffordshire County Council.


County Councillor Mark Winnington, Cabinet Member for Environment and Assets, said: ?The project is now estimated to come in at a cost of �5.5 million, �600,000 under budget, by the time it is completed in spring 2012.


?The council?s investment has ensured the safety of those living downstream from the reservoir, provided long term protection for unique wildlife habitats, a water source for the West Midlands canal network, and has safeguarded the future prosperity of an important local and regional attraction.?


The reservoir, part of Chasewater Country Park, is expected to be refilled, under normal weather conditions, by summer 2013.

Recently named by Entertainment Weekly as one of the top 10 comics to watch, rapidly rising comedy sensation Pete Correale brings his keen eye for the humor found in daily life to Comedy Central with his first-ever special, "The Things We Do For Love."

Praised for his "brash and energetic" humor by the Anchorage Daily News, Correale is a veteran of the comedy club and festival circuit as well as television talk shows like "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Late Night with David Letterman" and "Last Call with Carson Daily," and co- hosted the Sirius satellite radio show "Breuer Unleashed" with former "Saturday Night Live" star Jim Breuer for four years. The Long Island native began his comedy career after graduating from college in 1992 and moving to New York City, where he cooked hamburgers and mopped floors at the New York Comedy Club in exchange for stage time late in the night to hone his act. He quickly rose to headliner status and began making his living as a comedian.

"The Things We Do For Love" features Correale in front of a New York City streetscape set making his pungent observations on the absurdities, contradictions and weirdness of everyday life from the perspective of a regular guy (albeit one with a wickedly funny wit). The special spotlights his gift for finding laughs in love, marriage, drinking, smoking cigarettes in an increasingly non-smoking world, being married versus single, and living in New York City, among many other topics. Essential to the collective implication of "The Things We Do For Love," his wife is an unseen presence yet integral partner throughout in many of Correale's wickedly funny tales. Whether the subject is life and health insurance, taking his nieces and nephews to the Bronx Zoo, being a dog owner, carnival rides, or his sister running in the New York Marathon, Correale zeroes in on the inherent humor in everything he encounters and experiences to evoke fervent and knowing laughter from the live audience at the special's taping. A viral Internet campaign and My Space and Facebook promotions over the next two months will tease comedy fans with snippets of Correale's wit to plug the special.

His first big breaks were appearing at Canada's prestigious Just For Laughs Festival in 2000 in its New Faces showcase and making his national TV debut on NBC's "Late Friday." Other television appearances include NBC's "Friday Night" and Comedy Central's "Premium Blend" and "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn," co-starring in the pilot for a Jim Breuer series for Fox, and being a featured comic in 2004 on MTV's live pre-game "Superbowl Bash." He has showcased his stand up at the 2008 Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, New York Comedy Festival, the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen and the 2005 Bonnaroo music festival. Correale has also taken his act international at Ireland's Kilkenny Cat Laughs Comedy Festival and was invited to perform in London, England on the BBC/Comedy Central show "The World Stands Up" that featured the best comedy acts from around the globe. He has been appearing in 2008 into 2009 on the third annual Jameson Comedy Tour. In April, Correale headlines the historic first-ever Beirut Stand Up Comedy Festival in Lebanon.

Correale has participated in such charity events as Comics Come Home fundraiser at Boston University, and was invited to entertain the first U.S. troops coming home from Iraq at a show aboard the U.S.S. Intrepid aircraft carrier in New York City. He has also worked as a comedy writer for shows on MTV and Comedy Central, and acted in starring roles in the films The Gynecologists, American Dummy and Act of Contrition. With his tabloid front-page styled website ( www.petecorreale.com), the comic keeps his hilarity buzzing on the Internet. He is an avid sports fan and devoted follower of the New York Yankees who earned an All American honorable mention playing high school basketball and played for SUNY Fredonia in his college years. He lives with his wife in Manhattan, where he keeps his act sharp appearing at the city's comedy clubs when not on tour.

Correale's humor connects so strongly because it's reality-based comedy that comes from the laughs he finds in his own life. "If it happened to me, it happened to someone else," he observes. "I like to tell stories that happen to me and find the joke in it. Whether it's putting together furniture for my wife, or walking my dog at 2 AM or hanging out with buddies having a few beers, it's all things we do for love." And with Correale, the things that also provide hilarity in spades.

Must be 21 & up to enter.

Dum Dum Girls
Write about what you know. That’s what they say. But that’s a lot easier said than done when what you know is very, very difficult to bear. That was the challenge Dum Dum Girls’ leader Dee Dee faced when writing the songs for the band’s moving second album Only in Dreams. “The first record was basically the first songs I’d ever written,” says Dee Dee, “and I was thinking nostalgically about being a teenager. This record, it was pretty much impossible not to write about very recent, very real things.”

Very real things indeed: Dee Dee wrote “Hold Your Hand” immediately after her mother (the pretty lady on the cover of both the Dum Dum Girls’ self-titled 2009 debut EP and their 2010 debut album I Will Be) was diagnosed with what turned out to be a fatal illness, and it’s one of several songs on Only in Dreams that unsparingly trace her mom’s passing. Other songs spell out the emotional toll of separation from one’s lover, something Dee Dee had to deal with while she and her husband (Brandon Welchez of the acclaimed noise-pop band Crocodiles) pursued their own tour schedules.

“Just about all the songs reflect the fact that I’d been on the road for about a year, pretty much separate from everything real in my life except the band,” says Dee Dee. “A lot of it is about distance and detachment.”

On several levels, Only in Dreams is a great leap forward for a gifted songwriter and an equally gifted band—it’s heavy, deeply personal stuff and surely unprecedented for this style of music, and that’s what gives Only in Dreams both its uniqueness and its gut-punch emotional impact.

Only in Dreams retains Dum Dum Girls’ signature blend of the girl-gang eyeliner punk of the Shangri-Las, the trashy propulsion of the Cramps, and the moody atmospherics of Mazzy Star, but for the first time, all four Dum Dum Girls play and sing on the album. Now the harmonies have more depth, Jules plays her own distinctive guitar leads, and the Bambi (bass)/Sandy (drums) rhythm section powers the music like a vintage V-8 engine. Best of all, tons of time on the road—including two massively successful headlining tours—have molded Dum Dum Girls into a very formidable rock & roll band, giving the music an undeniable force.

And now that power and glory is showcased by a full-on studio production—while I Will Be was recorded at home and modestly spiffed up in a studio by legendary pop maestro Richard Gottehrer (Blondie, Go-Go’s), Only in Dreams was recorded at Josh Homme’s Pink Duck Studios, “almost a museum in terms of the old amps and guitars he’s amassed,” says Dee Dee admiringly. Gottehrer again produced, this time with Sune Rose Wagner from the Raveonettes.

Only in Dreams more than fulfills the promise of 2011’s He Gets Me High EP, with impassioned, front-and-center vocals from Dee Dee that sometimes recall one of her heroines, Chrissie Hynde; big singalong choruses draped with almost choral harmonies; a chugging wash of guitars drenched in reverb, tremelo and fuzz; and mighty, booming bass and drums. “I’ve always wanted to be in a loud rock & roll band and still maintain some feminine sound,” Dee Dee says. “So even though this album is much poppier and a lot more polished, it’s still tough.” “Heartbeat” hooks with its Buddy Holly-esque guitar line, while “In My Head” uncorks one of the album’s greatest choruses, and brace yourself for the incredibly poignant closer “Hold Your Hand.”

Listen to the slowdive ballad “Coming Down,” which Dee Dee wrote not long after her mom passed away. “That song came out of being in and out of awareness of the depth of the situation,” she says. “Sometimes when I write, I don’t really analyze what I’m saying but the more I hear that song, the deeper it feels. I don’t know if I’m addressing life or God or what, but it’s our big, epic song on every scale.”

Dee Dee wrote “Bedroom Eyes” after returning from a European tour, jet-lagged and lonely. “I was home alone,” she says. “Insomnia was taking its toll; I felt absolutely crazy. I looked up poetry on the subject and found a Dante Gabriel Rosetti poem and the song was born from that. I’d finally convinced my dad to give me one of his prescription sleeping pills and it kicked in while I was writing the song and I started hallucinating.”

Only in Dreams represents a musical evolution for Dum Dum Girls and a personal one for Dee Dee, and that’s no coincidence. “I’m for real,” she says. “We all are. I’m really passionate about this, it’s all I know. And maybe we’ve just grown up a bit—or grown out a bit. There’s some weight to what we do, and a pure intent, and I think that comes across on this album.”

Widowspeak
To say that Widowspeak is a Northwest band is to tell a half-truth. After all they formed in a Brooklyn apartment thousands of miles to the east, and their guitarist has never even seen the Pacific Ocean. There are aspects of the band’s sound—abrasive guitar hooks, immediate drumming, and incessant codas—that speak to living in a big city. But there’s also a dreary sparseness, a David Lynch-esque darkness, culled from the other members’ native Washington.

Singer/songwriter Molly Hamilton grew up in an old house in Tacoma, drummer Michael Stasiak in nearby Lakewood. While grunge put Seattle on the map and Riot Grrl and the DIY aesthetic are synonymous with Olympia, Tacoma remains grittier, darker even. Infamous for the acrid smell of its paper mills, this blue-collar city somehow fosters a fertile music community—if few outsiders know about it. Michael and Molly first crossed paths in that tight-knit scene, both contributing to a local compilation label. The label lasted all of one summer before half its roster decamped for New York.

There, three summers later, Michael approached Molly about starting a new band. Molly’s crippling stage fright and inexperience with the electric guitar seemed good excuses to decline, but at Michael’s urging she bought a used Danelectro and put pen to paper. Soon after, Michael invited guitarist Robert Earl Thomas to a tentative first practice. Though Robert had to plug his guitar into the stereo, and Michael played only two drums, something was palpable in that first hour. They chose a name Molly had picked months before, and Widowspeak was born.

Punks on Mars was formed in 2010 by ryan howe (former member of space punk gods dANA/ creator of Luke Perry). He has performed around the USA, with or without bandmates and released various ephemera on Zoo Music and his own imprint Ratgum Records. Transcending his lo-fi hypnagogic origins, the new power-punking art pop super 'band' formation consists of members of Nude Beach, and Andrea Schiavelli of 'The Eyes of Love.' Look out for a new record and tour in 2012.
