The cultural gap across the Atlantic The Western world (i.e. Europe, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand) could be considered as a single “Western civilisation”. ‘Westernness’ could be defined by people who are ethnically or culturally European, in other words people of European descent or speaking a European language as their mother-tongue.

Stress hurts: Women who lead demanding lives are more than twice as likely to suffer from aches and pains as women with less hectic lives, according to a recent study. When stressed, your body produces hormones that increase muscle tension and pain sensitivity. You're likely familiar with the dreaded tension headache, but we've uncovered four more spots where women tend to feel stress — and we've

Be a positive role model. If you’re practicing healthy habits, it’s a lot easier to convince children to do the same. Get the whole family active. Plan times for everyone to get moving together.

VACCINATING people against swine flu may be a lot easier than anyone dared hope, as it turns out that people have an unexpected degree of immunity to the pandemic now sweeping the world. A seasonal flu in the same H1N1 family as the pandemic virus has been circulating since 1977, but until now it was thought that this seasonal virus did not induce immunity to the pandemic strain.

Recently, top-10-list.org drew up a list of 10 best currencies of the world. The selection of the 'best' currencies was made on the basis of trading volumes of the currencies at the three principle forex markets. For the record, the Indian rupee does not figure among the top 10 currencies, although some economists hold that it and the Chinese yuan might soon take over from the US dollar.

The humble headache has had its day as far as excuses to avoid sex are concerned, for now the reigning white lie to snub a romp is 'I'm too tired', says a new survey.

Which is the coldest place in the solar system? Dark craters near the moon's south pole have snatched that title – which is good news for the prospects of finding water ice on Earth's companion. The craters' towering rims block the sun from reaching their centres, like the long shadows cast by tall buildings at dusk. In this permanent darkness, they stay at a constant -240 °Celsius – more than
