Asteroid could hit Mars next month

An asteroid hurtling towards Mars has a one in 75 chance of chance of scoring a direct hit on the red planet next month, NASA experts said in a statement Friday.

The US space agency's Near Earth Object Program (NEOP) revealed that the asteroid's exact course was difficult to predict, but said it could slam into Mars on January 30, leaving a crater measuring an estimated 1 kilometer across.

Economist: Houses built on sand

Research by David Miles and Vladimir Pillonca of Morgan Stanley concludes that there are likelier candidates than America for a housing bust. In a recent paper covering 13 European countries as well as America, they assess how much of the rise in property values in the past decade can be put down to bubble-like optimism about future price increases. The authors constructed a model in which housing demand is driven by rising real incomes, population growth and declines in real interest rates. They then estimated the downward effect on prices from increased homebuilding. They argued that what is left—the part of price rises that is unexplained—is without substance and vulnerable to a correction.

In six countries—Belgium, Britain, Denmark, Greece, Spain and Sweden—real house prices have risen much faster than the model predicts. But in the remaining five countries, the average “excess” increase in real house prices is 47%. Some of the paper's results challenge accepted wisdom. Ireland's housing boom, often seen as a spectacular bubble, is almost entirely explained away by rapid real-income growth, rising population and the drop in real interest rates. Nevertheless, Irish house prices are now falling, if modestly.

ABC - The incredible journey of oil

http://abc.net.au/science/crude/

Powered by ScribeFire.

Are these the last days of the Oil Age?

Oil ruled the 20th century; the shortage of oil will rule the 21st.
Last Tuesday the lead story in The Financial Times was the latest report
from the International Energy Agency. The FT quoted the IEA as saying:
“Oil looks extremely tight in five years’ time,” and that there are
“prospects of even tighter natural gas markets at the turn of the decade”.
For an international agency, that is inflammatory language. This steep rise
in the oil price over a four-year period has been caused by demand rising at
more than 2 per cent a year, while supplies had risen more slowly, by a
healthy 4.1 per cent in 2004, but by only 1.25 per cent in 2005 and 0.5 per
cent in 2006.

Daft Q2 Property Report

Sections of interest from the report...

• The average price of a second-hand property in Ireland declined by 1.6% during the second quarter of 2007. This suggests an annual fall of 2.7% since January 2007 – in line with forecasts for the entire year.

• Some anxiety prior to the elections (fuelled by speculations concerning the stamp duty reform) undoubtedly held back a handful of potential buyers. Yet there is little evidence that this had much of an impact on prices. It is more likely that a rush to sell investment properties, driven primarily by rising interest rates and fears of price depreciation, have created a glut of excess supply at the time of falling demand.

• The core issue here is affordability. Basic estimates suggest that the median per capita disposable income in the country today stands at around €31,300 per annum. Factoring in the savings rates and using a 4.5:1 ratio of disposable income to loan value, a median household entering the market today can afford a mortgage of between €380,000 and
  €400,000. The stamp duty, legal fees and costs of moving the household and upgrading properties cut roughly 15 percent from the affordability threshold.

• This is a far cry from the latest asking prices – according to Daft’s statistics, the average family dwelling in Dublin city ranges from €485,000 to €518,000 for a three bed and from €671,000 to €734,000 for a four bed property.

• Outside Ireland's cities, though, it is Wicklow which remains the most expensive location in the country, with five bedroom properties outside the main towns in the county averaging €828,000.

• Cork's towns contains some of Munster's most expensive properties, with the average price for five-bedroom properties as follows Clonakilty €552,203, Bantry €492,333
  

All of this suggests that we are not likely to see a return of buoyant
housing markets any time soon and that the rally in asking prices we’re
currently seeing will not last.

Car-makers Plan to Launch $3000 (€2203) Automobile in India

Though there is great demand for an affordable, entry-level vehicle,
the $3000 car also raises alarming questions about its environmental
impact.

Four years in the making, Tata Motor’s plans to produce a so-called
“one-lakh car” (one lakh being the Indian term for 100,000) are aimed
squarely at members of India’s 300-million-strong middle class. Dubbing
it the “People’s Car,” Tata hopes to entice consumers with a four to
five seater, four-door, rear-engine car with about 30 hp (horsepower).

World oil supplies are set to run out faster than expected, warn scientists

Scientists have criticised a major review of the world's remaining oil reserves, warning that the end of oil is coming sooner than governments and oil companies are prepared to admit.

BP's Statistical Review of World Energy, published yesterday, appears to show that the world still has enough "proven" reserves to provide 40 years of consumption at current rates. The assessment, based on officially reported figures, has once again pushed back the estimate of when the world will run dry.

However, scientists led by the London-based Oil Depletion Analysis Centre, say that global production of oil is set to peak in the next four years before entering a steepening decline which will have massive consequences for the world economy and the way that we live our lives.

Huh? 130 billion barrels of oil and 50 trillion cubic feet of gas of the West Coast of Ireland

Content Recent estimates published by the Irish Petroleum Affairs Division of the Department of Marine and Natural Resources indicate significant potential for future oil and gas production levels offshore Ireland.

The majority of these reserves are understood to be located in the Atlantic Ridge, a geological structure running parallel with the west coast of Ireland and part of the same geological formation as the North Sea reserves. A recently published government report shows potential reserves of 130 billion barrels of oil and 50 trillion cubic feet of gas.

Industry players developing the Atlantic Ridge reserves will no doubt be hoping to avoid the problems encountered by the developers of the Corrib field, located 70km offshore the northwest coast. Corrib was first discovered in 1996 by Enterprise Oil and was the first significant new gas discovery in Irish wasters since Kinsale Head. In 2002, Enterprise Oil was acquired by Shell and the operating license of Corrib transferred to Shell, with the project owned by Shell E&P Ireland Limited (45%), Statoil (36.5%) and Marathon (18.5%). A long series of legal and planning related delays relating both to the project itself and associated infrastructure development have resulted in the project remaining years behind schedule.

TerrorStorm - A History Of Government Sponsored Terrorism

As featured in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, The Dallas Morning News, The Los Angeles Times, The Austin-American Statesman, and The Austin Chronicle, Alex Jones has created a powerful platform in an attempt to re-create a Bill of Rights, freedom-orientated culture in the face of an ever more federalized and security-obsessed America.

Throughout history, criminal elements inside governments have carried out terror attacks against their own populations as a pretext to enslave them. TerrorStorm reveals how, in the last hundred years, Western leaders have repeatedly murdered their own citizens while posing as their saviors.

In TerrorStorm you will discover that September 11th, the attacks of 7/7 in London, and many other terrorist events were self-inflicted wounds. You will witness British Special Forces troops caught in the act of staging terror attacks in Iraq and see official US government documents laying out plans to hijack passenger planes by remote control. You will learn how the Reichstag fire, the Gulf of
Tonkin, and the US-backed Iranian coup of 1953 are all interconnected false-flag terror events.

This powerful documentary explores the mindset of the average brainwashed Westerner. It delves deeply in to the systems of control which have been scientifically-crafted to imprison their minds and keep their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them.

Huh? An earthquake/tsunami in Ireland?

Earthquake

A series of earthquake zones criss-cross Dublin - and one running the length of Ireland's busiest shopping area, O'Connell Street. The most active area in Ireland is near Carinsore, Co Wexford. Eileen Doyle, a geologist with the National Geological Survey, said: "There is a fault line near Hollyhead, Wales, which is active every 10 years or less.

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qn4161/is_20050626/ai_n14696820

Tsunami

Damaging tsunamis could affect Ireland from several geologically feasible scenarios. For example, recent modelling of a Lisbon earthquake scenario, conducted jointly with the UK, predicts waves up to 4m high along the south Irish coast. The proposed warning system could provide alerts up to four hours before a tsunami might reach our coastline.

Bloomberg.com: Cracks Are Appearing in Europe's Property Market

House prices surged because interest rates were set too low for those nations for several years in a row.

Interest rates are being set to keep a lid on Europe-wide inflation. Even if the ECB lowered borrowing costs to keep the property market afloat in Spain and Ireland, it would risk re-igniting inflation in one of the other euro-area countries. To put up rates when house prices, and new housing starts, are moving into free fall may seem like madness. After all, a significant property collapse could tip economies into recession, and leave mortgage lenders and banks struggling. Yet that is the way the system now works.

One consequence of the euro is boom-and-bust property markets in some member economies. We have seen the boom. Now we are about to see the bust -- and there is probably little that anyone can do about it.

longer.

Use your mobile for more than ten years? Your 40% more likely to get a brain tumour!!

A recent authoritative Finnish study has found that people who have used mobiles for more than ten years are 40 per cent more likely to get a brain tumour on the same side of the head as they hold their handset; Swedish research suggests that the risk is almost four times as great. And further research from Sweden claims that the radiation kills off brain cells, which could lead to today's younger generation going senile in their forties and fifties.

It gets better, do you have Wi-Fi on your laptop or in your home? Wi-Fi systems essentially take small versions of these masts into the home and classroom - they emit much the same kind of radiation. Though virtually no research has been carried out, campaigners and some scientists expect them to have similar ill-effects. They say that we are all now living in a soup of electromagnetic radiation one billion times stronger than the natural fields in which living cells have developed over the last 3.8 billion years. This, they add, is bound to cause trouble

Ireland facing 'dangerous' climate changes

Significant climate change impacts are expected to occur in Ireland over the coming decades even if the EU target, of limiting global climate change to EU 2° Celsius, is met. Planning and adaptation actions are needed to reduce the worst effects of unavoidable climate change in the coming decades.

The report predicts that a global temperature rise of up to 2° Celsius would result in negative changes include the following:

· Increased likelihood and magnitude of river and coastal flooding;
· Water shortages in summer in the east, increased need for irrigation of crops;
· Negative impacts on water quality;
· Changes in the distribution of species, and possible extinction of vulnerable species requiring cooler conditions, e.g., the Arctic Char;
· Effects on fisheries, which are sensitive to small changes in temperature, e.g., Cod;
· Increased frequency of wild fires and pest infestation.

Impacts in Ireland would include significant sea level rise, more intense storms and rainfall events. The report was prepared as part of the programme of the EPA’s Environmental Research Centre by the Irish Climate Analysis and Research Units from the Department of Geography, National University of Ireland, Maynooth. It is the first study to directly address the implications for Ireland of a 2° Celsius increase in mean global temperatures.

The research project highlights major changes that occurred in Ireland about 8000 years ago when a relatively sudden influx of fresh water from northern Canada is considered to have temporarily switched of the Gulf Stream flow. This resulted in an abrupt and widespread cooling event in and around Ireland.

Dr John Sweeney of National University of Ireland, Maynooth, one of the authors of the Report stated that, “This shows what could happen if the Greenland Ice shelf melts. Long-term impacts of global warming could include collapse of major ice shelves and resulting devastating effect on Ireland. Time is rapidly running out for achievement of the 2° Celsius target and so avoiding the most dangerous impacts of climate change.”

Two types of person in Ireland: those who believe that the Irish housing market is a bubble waiting to burst, and those who don’t.

The first category of person has found life quite difficult over the past five years, particularly if they were prepared to postpone the decision to buy a house in the expectation that prices
would come down.

Given the growth we have seen in house prices in recent years, those who chose that course of action made a big mistake.

Even if prices were to go into reverse, it is highly unlikely that they would fall back to the levels that prevailed five years ago.

For those who decided to get on the ladder at whatever cost, the decision has proved to be a good one and they have done well in the sense that the asset they bought has continued to
appreciate in value. But while the doom merchants have been wrong for some time now, they have undoubtedly been given renewed hope by recent developments.

It has become obvious from anecdotal and real evidence over the past six months that the housing market has been losing some of its sparkle. Price growth has slowed quite sharply,
planning permissions and house registrations have been weakening and growth in mortgage credit has been slowing.

Many house vendors, be they private sellers or auctioneers, have been reluctant to admit in
public that they are finding it increasingly difficult to move houses, but in private many are admitting that this is indeed the case all over the country. The reported introduction of gimmicks to sell new houses really says it all.

In many ways you should not be terribly surprised that the market has been losing some of its sparkle in recent times. House prices are determined by the interaction of supply and
demand, and supply has been very strong in recent years, with more than 570,000 homes built since 2000.

Granted, some misdirected tax incentives have meant that not all of this supply has come on stream where the demand actually exists, but supply has nevertheless been strong.

On the other side of the equation, while demand has been driven strongly by the large number of young people in the household formation age group and considerable inward migration, the trend in interest rates over the past year has started to undermine the property appetite.

The strong level of supply and the sharp rise in interest rates are combining to push the market towards equilibrium.

There is no more potent weapon than interest rates to dampen a housing market.

European Central Bank rates have gone up by 1.5 per cent over the past 15 months, adding over €200 a month to the average mortgage.

The bad news for hard-stretched borrowers is that ECB rates could conceivably rise by another 0.75 per cent over 2007, and there are no guarantees at this stage that this would represent the top of the cycle. 2008 is another year.

A moderation in the housing market is actually desirable because a continuation of the sort of momentum that has characterised the market in recent times for another couple of years would almost certainly create a bubble that would most likely burst with great ferocity.

In many respects the market has displayed signs of insanity in recent years, and a semblance of sanity now would be no bad thing. It appears likely that 2006 will have represented the peak of the housing cycle both in terms of annual inflation and house completions.

Nationally, average house prices are likely to rise by no more than 5 per cent this year and
completions could fall back by over 10 per cent. Towards the end of the decade, average annual house price inflation is likely to be in the region of 3 to 4 per cent and completions should fall back to around 70,000. Such an outcome would undoubtedly qualify as a soft landing.

While it would not be a panacea for all the ills of aspiring house buyers, at least the rapid momentum of recent years appears to be moderating and, for the first time in a long time, buyers have some clout in the market.

They should use it, as they should in the mortgage market - competition is heating up among
mortgage providers and shopping around has never been more worthwhile.

Given the huge and inordinate dependence of the Irish economy and the Irish stock exchange on residential housing activity in terms of housing-related tax revenues, construction employment, consumer confidence and financial sector employment, a soft landing for the market is undoubtedly the optimum outcome, as a hard landing would cause seriously negative economic fallout.

With house completions set to moderate to about 85,000 in 2007, the value of housing built could decline by around €2billion, equivalent to little more than 1 per cent of GDP. With other areas of construction likely to take up any slack from weaker residential activity, the impact on employment in construction and on GDP growth is likely to be pretty minimal.

In the medium term, a gradual decline in housing construction would obviously take something off growth, but not enough to cause any dramatic slowdown. The economy would be able to take such a moderation in its stride as other areas of construction activity, such as commercial development and public infrastructure, look set to remain vibrant for some time to come. A hard landing would be much more difficult to withstand but thankfully is not the most likely outcome.

For policy-makers, the imperative is to ensure that there is a vibrant and productive parallel economy operating alongside the housing economy. It would be dangerous to believe that all of the positive economic and financial indicators thrown off by housing-related activity are
sustainable in the longer term. They are not.

BBC Documentary - Rageh Inside Iran

Rageh Omaar embarks on a unique journey inside what he describes as one of the most misunderstood countries in the world, looking at the country through the eyes of people rarely heard - ordinary Iranians.

It took a year of wrangling to get permission to film inside Iran but the result is an amazing portrayal of an energetic and vibrant country that is completely different to the usual images seen in the media. A country of contrasts

Rageh soon discovers that Tehran is a complex place and uncovers a city of extremes of wealth and poverty, where some people survive on less than a dollar a day and others shop till they drop in glitzy shopping malls.

Iran is a country that bans women from riding motorcycles but where 60 per cent of the student population is female. It is also a youthful place, with two thirds of Iran's 70 million population under the age of 30. Local stories

Rageh meets with local people to hear their personal stories and feelings about the current state of affairs in Iran. There are stories of taxi drivers, wrestlers, business women, people working with drug addicts and the country's leading pop star and his manager - the 'Simon Cowell' of Iran.

Rageh Inside Iran transcends images of angry demonstrations and burning flags to reveal a country that isn't without its problems but which is also fascinating, dynamic and hospitable.
